Stretching elegantly along a sublime stretch of coastline on the dramatic Yucatan Peninsula, just north of Playa del Carmen (just 10 minutes away) in the bustling Riviera Maya is one of Mandarin Oriental’s newest resorts. Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya, Mexico, a five-star resort open to guests since February 2008, offers an exclusive hideaway set on 36 lush acres on a mile long enclave where verdant tropical jungle and protected mangrove reserves meet white sand beach and tranquil lagoons.

The gorgeous hotel boasts 128 lavish rooms set within a series of two-storey and bungalow style villas which offer enchanting views of the water, be it the cenote, the lagoon tributaries or the Caribbean. 20 rooms are situated adjacent to the spa for those who seek an entirely holistic experience. However, for private luxury and entirely personal service, we highly recommend the 3-bedroom, 2,600 square feet Presidential Villa with its own swimming pool, lap pool and spa patio. Exclusive guests also benefit from the use of an experienced and attentive personal butler and chef who will anticipate their every move.

This exclusive hideaway provides guests with a spectacular sense of awakening and inspiration. The 25,000 square feet Spa at Mandarin Oriental Riviera Maya is a unique experience in all of Latin America. Inspired by the Mayan elements of water, air, fire and earth, some of the facilities include: 8 multi-functional treatment rooms with private showers, 2 VIP Couples Suites, expansive spaces for full day experiences including private bathrooms, scrub rooms, Jacuzzi or vitality patio, Thai massage suite and specialty treatments areas (Watsu Pool and Mayan Temazcal) and more.

With dining serving as a focus of the resorts innovation and imagination, a tantalizing selection of 7 restaurants and bars excite the palate, accompanied by mesmerizing vistas of lagoons, mangroves and the calming ocean. You can try the signature restaurant Ambar, for international cuisine with an Asian influence, or the Lobby Lounge for some delicious Mayan Chaya. You can discover endless recreational activities including yoga and fitness, golf, scuba diving, snorkelling and many more. Or if cultural activities are your tastes, the Yucatan region offers some amazing archaeological sites to explore. No doubt, you’ll be blown away by the sophisticated lives of the ancient Maya!

You can’t go very wrong with Mandarin Oriental hotels; this is the most sophisticated resort on Mexico’s eastern coast. The resort is a perfect location for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon destination. From the moment you walk into the sleek outdoor lobby, to your room, every single details about this property is magical.
