Rosewood Mayakoba

Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Mexico

Rosewood Mayakoba sits within the Mayakoba development, a stretch of jungle, freshwater lagoons and beach about 40 minutes south of Cancún airport. The suites are spread along the lagoons and the sea, with private decks and plunge pools, and boats carry guests through the waterways to the beach, the spa and the restaurants.

The resort is a good base for the wider Yucatán. You can swim in nearby cenotes, the underground rivers and sinkholes the region is known for, and visit Tulum, Cobá or Chichén Itzá with a guide. On the coast there is snorkeling and diving on the Mesoamerican reef, and from about June to September you can swim with whale sharks off Isla Mujeres and Holbox.

Rosewood Mayakoba suits families, couples and anyone who wants space, privacy and a mix of beach and culture. The Caribbean beaches along this coast can be affected by sargassum seaweed, mostly in spring and summer, and the resort shares the Mayakoba area with several other hotels and a golf course.

Rosewood Mayakoba is a resort of suites set among lagoons, mangroves and beach on Mexico's Riviera Maya, between Cancún and Playa del Carmen. Most suites have their own plunge pools. It suits families and couples who want the Caribbean coast with the cenotes and Maya sites nearby.
