Rosewood Mayakoba

Between mangrove forests, natural lagoons and the Caribbean Sea, Rosewood Mayakoba unfolds like a seamless extension of its timeless natural setting. This luxury resort in Riviera Maya, located on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, occupies a prime beachside address within the exclusive Mayakoba enclave, home to the El Camaleón Golf Course and the charming plaza of El Pueblito, filled with boutiques and authentic restaurants. 

You’re perfectly poised for exploration. Trek to turquoise cenotes, take a kayak along the leafy waterways or uncover the secrets of endemic plants, their healing properties woven into centuries of tradition. For a change of pace, sail the Caribbean on a private yacht charter, where aqua-blue waters invite you to snorkel among flourishing marine life.

Hidden within the tropical foliage, you’ll find the hotel’s impressive collection of suites and villas. Staying in an overwater lagoon suite, you’re whisked by speedboat on your arrival along winding canals. A beachfront suite places you directly on a ribbon of sugary sand, where sunsets are at their best. You’re guaranteed total privacy with each suite cleverly spread out, designed for uninterrupted tranquillity. 

Celebrating local traditions, Rosewood Mayakoba’s design is a thoughtful reflection of Mexican culture. Interiors feature handcrafted artisan furnishings and lead out to outdoor bathrooms cocooned by agave. At the spa, perched on its own island in the middle of a lagoon, treatments draw on time-honoured Mayan healing rituals, while the dining experience evokes a sensorial journey into the rich flavours of Mexico. Taste the influence from regions like Oaxaca, Michoacán and Chiapas in dishes crafted from the finest local produce. La Ceiba’s kitchen-garden is a real highlight, where communal tables beneath a mature ceiba tree set the scene for a feast cooked over an open flame, as a tribute to the Mayan Riviera’s deeply rooted Mayan heritage.
