Acapulco, Mexico’s Las Brisas Acapulco is officially in the pink. Upon arriving at this rose-hued paradise, you’ll be whisked away by one of their signature pink-and-white jeeps (reminiscent of the Barbie one every little girl wanted to drive) and escorted to one of the pink-accented casitas.

World of Barbie, a one-of-a-kind immersive experience, made its U.S. debut much earlier in the year — in April, in fact — when the doors to its Dreamhouse opened at Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, California. The 20,000 square foot space is a Barbie-inspired paradise, complete with a patio and pool, and walk-in closets filled with garments from decades of iconic Barbie fashion history. There’s also a Barbie camper van; a fashion studio where guests will have an opportunity to walk the pink carpet and pose inside of one of the six Barbie boxes; a TV studio visitors can step onto the set and become a news anchor delivering headlines in front of various TV studio backdrops, interviewing their guests or giving the weather report; a Space Center, where one can board a Barbie space shuttle to interact with mission control and travel to several interstellar destinations; a movie theater where classic Barbie content is played; and a Paul Mitchell Salon to try on new looks in an interactive dream salon. The visually stunning production will also feature a bespoke Barbie exhibit where guests can see how Barbie, her Dreamhouse, and her various vehicles have evolved over the years and learn more about how she has become the number one doll property worldwide.
