Luxurious, beachfront hotel suite in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

5-Star Hotel in Mayakoba, Playa del Carmen
♡ Beachfront Luxury & Natural Paradise

  • "Mayakoba" was the word for 'village over water' in the ancient Mayan language. Nowadays, it is called 'the Venice of the Caribbean'. It is almost impossible to describe Mayakoba's overwhelming beauty. This 1600-acre resort enclave rests along a mile-long arc of white Caribbean sand, punctuated by freshwater lagoons and mangrove forests and populated by hundreds of bird species, monkeys, and turtles. In this paradise, it's possible to find a unique Playa del Carmen resort called Rosewood Mayakoba. A true oasis of luxury, the resort offers 130 suites with private plunge pools, rooftop sundecks, garden showers, and individual docks, all ravishingly designed in harmony with nature and absolute respect for native materials. Which one to choose? It's hard to say, but why not have it all at the Presidential Oceanfront Suite (including an immense beach with turquoise warm waters), or have an incredibly romantic stay by booking the Deluxe Overwater Lagoon Suite? The truth is it doesn't matter which room you choose: the sights you will be able to see and experience are something you will always remember. Rosewood Mayakoba. Yes, escaping can be this beautiful.

5-Star Hotel in Mayakoba, Playa del Carmen
♡ Secluded Resort & Direct Beach Access

  • Think of the word "serenity": it is the more accurate Banyan Tree Mayakoba's definition. Wish for beauty; this is how you'll describe your stay at one of the best resorts in Playa del Carmen. This 5-star resort offers opulent villas decorated in Asian style, each with its private pool, landscaped garden, and exclusive sun terrace. The sights, particularly the water views, will fulfill your senses: freshwater in tones of green, surrounded by mangrove forests, or crystalline water, salty and blue, the only that comes from the Caribbean Sea. You can enjoy both while navigating through limestone waterways in a thatched-roof boat. The ancient Mayas called this awesome Playa del Carmen spot the village over water - Mayakoba - and if you are one of those who wish to pause time for a moment, forget all mundane rush, and restore all levels of peace, the Banyan Tree Mayakoba is the right place.

Private beachfront villa in a luxury resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

5-Star Hotel in Playa Xcalacoco, Playa del Carmen
♡ Private Villas on the Beach

  • Picture yourself standing before the sight of tropical lush vegetation a few steps away from the Caribbean Sea. Imagine how it can be to wake up in a palapa-roofed stucco villa carefully designed in the simple yet elegant Mayan style. Now add a private plunge pool to this, a secluded patio, and, oh, yes, a beach of turquoise waters. Impossible? Wait until you get to the Viceroy Riviera Maya, one of the most romantic Playa del Carmen resorts. Book one of the Royal Villas, and we assure you this will be a vacation your beloved one will never forget (sorry, kids, this is an adult-only hotel).

    Located on the coast of Xcalacoco Beach, one of the most fascinating Playa del Carmen beaches, the beachfront Viceroy Riviera Maya has been quoted by Travel + Leisure magazine as "a sexy, eco-conscious hideaway in the jungle." 🔭

5-Star Hotel in Mayakoba, Playa del Carmen
♡ Tropical Forest & Jaw-Dropping Beach

  • Forget the roar of an engine; keep your distance from high buildings and other urban noises. The only sounds you will hear at the Fairmont Mayakoba are the ones that come from nature: bird songs (160 species around the premises), water whispers, and a gentle, warm breeze caressing your private verandah. The Fairmont Mayakoba lies in the beautiful Mayakoba region, named by many as ‘the Venice of the Caribbean.’ Near Playa del Carmen, it is a luxury resort in which natural waterways gently interconnect the buildings surrounded by luxuriant tropical vegetation. It isn’t hard to imagine the sights you can indulge in. Consider your favorite ones and book your room accordingly: you can choose from various panoramas, from delightful laguna and forest views to golf courses and tropical vegetation vistas or the blue Caribbean waters. But guess what? You’ll be able to enjoy them all: the beachfront Fairmont Mayakoba is car-free, meaning one can access all sites by boat, bicycle, or golf cart, or do as we did and walk the nature trails pampering yourself at 100% with one of the most incredible spots in the Mayan Riviera.

  • At the heart of Playa del Carmen, sitting nicely at the well-known, gorgeous Mamita’s Beach, it is impossible not to notice this ultra-modern construction that reminds us of the Mayas and their impressive temples. The Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen Resort is fantastic, especially if you’re exigent enough to demand the Caribbean Sea at your feet and all the fun and activities of Playa del Carmen by the door. The beachfront resort is close to La Quinta Avenida, ‘the’ place for excellent shopping, exquisite restaurants, and full power party scenes. The spa is unmissable, not only because the architecture resembles the shape of a Cenote but also due to the remarkable set of treatments that will spoil you from the top of your head to the smallest of your toes. Rare are the places in the world where the water is so transparent and warm, the sand so white and ethereal as the air itself. What a glory to enjoy this every single day of your stay, waking you up at your room’s window or luring you until you finally surrender.
