Dreams Natura Resort & Spa

Wake up to the sound of lapping waves before heading to the beach to feel the sand between your toes. This family-friendly resort provides all the facilities and activities needed to make your beachfront-paradise vacation dreams a reality.

553 light and airy rooms are generously spacious and feature plush beds with crisp white linens and cool tile floors which contrast perfectly with the deep-blue turquoise walls and teak furnishings. Interiors are adorned with nature-inspired designs and come with comfortable sofa seating areas, sleek marble bathrooms, sliding glass doors and furnished private balconies or terraces – the ideal spot for unwinding and soaking up the views of tropical mangroves or glimmering Caribbean Sea.

The family suites are particularly commodious and perfectly cater to families with both a king-size bed and two double beds, with gorgeous views and luxurious amenities. Pop out onto the balcony to enjoy some ice cream or a fresh juice before heading down to the sandy shore for some fun in the sun.

Alternatively, opt for one of the Club suites for access to the Club lounge and Bar and a personal concierge service. Club Suites also provide swim-out balconies to the pool, separate living areas, grand stand-alone, oval baths and panoramic sea views from expansive balconies.

With several a la carte restaurants, bars and lounges on offer with no reservations required, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to dining at Dreams Natura. Take your pick from tasty grilled dishes and enjoy a laid-back lunch by the pool at the Barefoot Grill or at the rustic Bluewater Grill steakhouse surrounded by chic furnishings and sleek designs made from all-natural materials. Head over to Bordeaux to sample the a la carte French menus and fine wine under elegant chandeliers or satisfy your cravings for local Mexican favourites at El Patio, soaking up its playful atmosphere and vibrantly colourful décor.

Flavours from Asia and a dedicated Teppanyaki table await at the atmospheric Himitsu, while fresh seafood and authentic Italian classics are also available at Oceana and Portofino. You’ll find the Dolce Ice Cream Parlour hard to resist while you’re here, and a stop at the open-air lobby bar to unwind with a tasty cocktail in hand is a must. If you’re finding it hard to decide, the international buffet at the World Café is your spot, and the pool-side bars are sure to keep you refreshed after serene days basking in the sun.

Dreams by Pevonia Spa is an other-worldly, one-of-a-kind oasis of calm. Come here to relax in impressive interiors which replicate the natural forms of the cenotes found locally in this region, complete with stalactites and hydrotherapy circuits evocative of natural pools. Pamper yourself with a soothing massage, facial, or reflexology treatments which showcase award-winning natural products before visiting the sauna, steam room and therapeutic showers for a heavenly experience (additional fees apply for spa services).

Take a dip in one of the four pools facing the sea and be sure not to miss out on dance lessons, cooking and cocktail classes, live music performances and stage shows while you’re here. Fun for all the family is guaranteed, with included access to water park slides, a splash park and clubs for children and teens alongside a plethora of fun activities which range from camping on the beach to crafts, sports and the Rollglider aerial ride.

While away the afternoon by the pool or head out on the sea to enjoy water sports such as snorkelling and diving. Try your hand at a round of golf and tee off at one of the nearby golf courses (additional charges apply for some water sports and golfing). If you feel like venturing slightly further afield, visit the hidden cenotes and islands in the area, or zipline over the jungle canopy while making memories to last a lifetime.
