Mexico: Rosewood Mayakoba, Riviera Maya
A Private Sanctuary of Lagoons and Sea
Set within Mayakoba's 620 acre nature preserve, Rosewood Mayakoba unfolds across a chain of low rise islands linked by footbridges and quiet canals, with the Caribbean on one side and mangrove lagoon on the other. Guests move between suites, restaurants and the beach by traditional teak launch, gliding past egrets and butterflies before ever reaching a room. Every one of the resort's 129 suites and its collection of villas carries a private plunge pool, and the interiors, done in Mayan inspired textiles, lava stone and regional woods sourced through local artisans, lean warm and tactile rather than glossy.
Days unfold at an easy pace: mornings on El Camaleón, the Greg Norman designed course and first PGA Tour venue in Latin America, afternoons at the 17,000 square foot Sense, A Rosewood Spa, and evenings drifting between Agave Azul's seafood, La Ceiba's Mayan inspired communal tables and the adults only stretch of sand at Aquí Me Quedo. Zapote Bar keeps the later hours lively with mezcal and live music, while families split off to Rosewood Explorers, a dedicated program of cultural and outdoor activities for younger guests.
