There’ s luxury you can see and there’ s luxury you can feel, and the Mexican Caribbean is one of those rare places that offers both. White-sand beaches and turquoise water may be the backdrop, but what keeps travelers coming back are the details: a massage with Maya clay, a mezcal tasting at sunset, a plunge pool that disappears into the jungle.

Think White Lotus meets Frida Kahlo: cinematic, sensorial and always rooted in something local.

The true upscale experiences happen just beyond Cancun’ s borders, in Riviera Maya, Tulum, Isla Holbox and select corners of Cozumel and Bacalar. �
