Couples, honeymooners, golf lovers, spa fanatics and families seeking a luxury Mexican escape on the Maya Riviera.
North of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
The 128 rooms here are a great blend of bold contemporary design and soothing natural materials. They’re open plan, with private terraces for sunning yourself, and rooftop decks for twilight cocktail parties for two. They come in various locations and configurations, but all have that oh-so-essential private plunge pool.
Rosewood Mayakoba’s three restaurants serve up a range of fare, from top-notch European dishes to regional specialities and Mexican tequilas. The rooms come with their own 24-hour butler service, and the luxury spa lives on its own island in the lagoon.
Golf lovers will be in heaven teeing off on the 18 hole golf course, not only because of its Greg Norman design, but also its spectacular coastal setting. Offshore lies the world’s second-largest coral reef, so slipping into the water in snorkel or scuba gear is a must. Also nearby lie the interesting Mayan ruins of Tulum and the boutiques of Playa del Carmen. If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll be kept well entertained by the fun activities on offer at the Rosebuds kids club.
Visit offshore Isla Mujeres for a glimpse at the turtle sanctuary that releases over 60,000 baby hatchlings every year.
