45 minutes’ drive from Cancún International Airport.

On the Riviera Maya between Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

There are just 63 ocean facing suites and the interiors draw on warm, natural tones to create a calming atmosphere, accentuated by locally sourced artworks and handicrafts. All suites have a terrace with private pool, hammock and outdoor bathtub, plus a TV, WiFi, Nespresso machine, mini bar and butler service. For even more space, take a look at the amazing Master Suites, which feature a kitchen, bar counter, dining room and living room, or the luxurious Presidential Suite with its twin terraces.

There are four superb restaurants, with a focus on local flavours. Tuch de Luna is overseen by Mexican celebrity chef Martha Ortiz, while Estero by the multi-awarded chef Virgilio Martínez draws on both Mexican and Peruvian influences. Centli specialises in cuisine from the southern states of Mexico, and Lumbre looks to the smoky flavours of northern Mexico. There are also four bars, including a swim-up pool bar, plus a well-stocked wine cellar and the sweet delights of the Chocolatería.
