Mayakoba: A Luxurious Destination

Mexico is a country where every destination is a discovery. Its 32 states are filled with wonders and treasures that astonish even the most discerning travelers.

Among these remarkable places, Mayakoba stands out—a luxury complex in Playa del Carmen, where exclusivity greets you the moment you arrive.

Located just kilometers from Cancun's airport, this enchanting locale is impossible not to fall in love with. Owned by OHL, this Caribbean area has become one of Mexico's most prestigious destinations, featuring three grand luxury hotels: Fairmont Mayakoba, Rosewood Mayakoba, Banyan Tree and Andaz Mayakoba.

The Riviera Maya's waters, with their myriad shades of blue, splash against the shores of this sustainable tourist development. It preserves both the mangroves and the Caribbean waters, creating a unique blend of natural beauty.

Spanning 650 hectares, Mayakoba is home to nearly 200 species, including birds, reptiles, fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. This biodiversity adds a special touch to the destination, especially since its construction—initiated in 1998—helped restore the mangrove, acting as a protective barrier for the complex.

*Fairmont Mayakoba: A Gourmet Haven*
At this luxury resort, walking through its quaint cobblestone streets and bridges, you'll find the canals of a lagoon bringing tranquility to many of its suites. The most coveted suites offer access to the white sandy beach, and all feature a private jacuzzi on the terrace, available for use day or night upon request.

Often referred to as the Venice of the Caribbean, the Fairmont Mayakoba has been awarded 5 AAA diamonds and boasts five swimming pools, including an infinity pool exclusively for adults. Notably, its new culinary offerings, revitalized by Chef Richard Sandoval, a successful Mexican based in the United States, have turned Mayakoba into a premier gourmet destination.

*Rosewood Mayakoba: A Sanctuary for the Body*
Within Mayakoba, the Rosewood hotel becomes an oasis of peace with its 130 exquisitely designed suites, featuring private pools, sun terraces, garden showers, and individual terraces.

Constructed to the highest ecological standards, the hotel offers unparalleled luxury with a commitment to environmental awareness, recognized by Rainforest Alliance certification. Alongside its golf course designed by Greg Norman, the hotel hosts distinguished restaurants such as Casa del Lago, Punta Bonita, Agave Sushi & Tequila Bar, Rose Buds for children, and Sense. The jewel of the complex is the Rosewood Spa, set around a cenote on its own island. This space, designed to nourish both body and mind, has garnered numerous accolades as the Best Hotel & Spa in Mexico, Central America, and South America, and ranks among the top 100 in the world.

*Banyan Tree: Oriental Inspiration*
This hotel, part of the Banyan Tree chain, is distinguished by its unique villas with individual pools offering the best views and maximum privacy, and its oriental-style architecture reflected in its rooms and pools, along with its gastronomic offerings at the Oriente restaurant.

A stay at any Banyan Tree worldwide promises an unforgettable experience, and Playa del Carmen is no exception, maintaining high standards of quality and luxury. Its signature feature is its spa, where all therapists are trained at the Banyan Tree Academy in Phuket, Thailand.

*Andaz Mayakoba: Vibrant and Stylish*
Andaz Mayakoba, part of the renowned Hyatt brand, adds a vibrant and stylish touch to the luxurious Mayakoba complex. This hotel stands out for its contemporary design, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya. Guests can enjoy spacious rooms and suites that feature stunning views of the lagoon, mangroves, and ocean. The hotel offers a rich culinary experience with its diverse restaurants and bars, focusing on local flavors and fresh ingredients. Additionally, Andaz Mayakoba provides an array of activities, from water sports to cultural excursions, ensuring an immersive and memorable stay.

*The Best Swing*
In addition to the three grand hotels, golf enthusiasts will find a paradise at their feet. The El Camaleón golf course is the only one in Mexico certified by the PGA and hosts the prestigious PGA Tour tournament, one of the few held outside the United States and Canada.
