About the Resort
A lagoon sanctuary reached by private boat
Rosewood Mayakoba threads through freshwater lagoons and canals behind a Caribbean beach in the Riviera Maya — arrival is by private boat through the waterways. Its 129 suites and lagoon-side villas come with 24-hour butlers, oversized terraces and, for many, private plunge pools and boat docks. Sense, A Rosewood Spa occupies its own private island, named the number-one spa in the world by Forbes Mexico; El Camaleón hosts championship golf; and beach clubs split adults-only from family. Cenotes hide in the grounds.

★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”
✓ Verified via feefo
★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Rosewood Mayakoba. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Mexico
Chablé Maroma
Chablé Maroma sets 70 free-standing villas through the jungle behind Playa Maroma — one of the world's most beautiful beaches — each with a private terrace, a private pool, a moon shower and Mayan-craft detailing in xucan, marble and quarried stone. The 17,000-square-foot spa works through eight cabins and a hammam with Mayan-inspired treatments, a beachfront infinity pool meets the sand, and the kitchen is led by Jorge Vallejo of Mexico City's acclaimed Quintonil. Tulum and the Mesoamerican Reef are close.
Mexico
Las Ventanas al Paraíso
Las Ventanas al Paraíso is one of Los Cabos' original ultra-luxury icons, where the Baja desert meets the Sea of Cortez under some 350 days of sun. Every suite tops 900 square feet, with an adobe fireplace, a Jacuzzi tub and a semi-private pool; the Four Elements spa works through earth, air, fire and water with Baja shaman-inspired rituals; and the service is the stuff of legend, from pillow menus to a pampered-pet programme. Above it all sit multi-bedroom villas and the 28,000-square-foot Ty Warner Mansion.
Mexico
One&Only Mandarina
One&Only Mandarina spreads across 80 acres of coastal rainforest on a private Pacific peninsula in Riviera Nayarit — a collection of free-standing treehouses in the canopy and cliff villas set into the rockface, each with a private pool and butler. Carao brings Enrique Olvera's avant-garde Mexican cooking, five pools step down toward the beach, and a Polo and Equestrian Club rounds out a resort that holds Three Michelin Keys. It suits families and couples in equal measure.
