Wellness:

Grounded in Ritual, Elevated in Design In this corner of the Yucatán Peninsula, wellness isn’ t just something you book— it’ s something you live. From junglefringed cenotes to ancient healing rituals, the entire setting invites you to slow down, breathe deeper and reconnect with yourself. Many luxury resorts draw inspiration from Maya holistic health, blending local herbs and time-honored traditions into their treatments.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya sets the tone with its award-winning SE Spa, where hydrotherapy circuits, aromatherapy rituals and Maya clay treatments take center stage. Each experience is designed to restore balance while embracing the Riviera Maya.
At Rosewood Mayakoba,“ Sense, A Rosewood Spa ®” creates a sanctuary of serenity with treatments using local ingredients inspired by ancestral practices. From open-air spa suites overlooking the mangroves to healing journeys rooted in nature, this is indulgence with intention.
Chablé Maroma offers one of the most authentic settings, as its spa is literally built around a cenote. Every treatment begins with a foot bath and intention-setting ritual. Guests can experience obsidian stone therapies, cacao ceremonies and full-body exfoliations with honey harvested on site.
For those seeking privacy and personalized wellness, Banyan Tree Mayakoba introduces Eastern and Maya influences through its holistic spa menu. Signature treatments incorporate herbal compresses, sound therapy and the soothing elements of water in tranquil villa settings.
When your schedule is nonstop, your mind overstimulated and your energy stretched thin, taking a spa vacation is strategic. This is your chance to unplug, recharge and return with clarity, calm and focus. Let the Mexican Caribbean remind you what it feels like to truly take care of yourself.

Upscale Activities:

More Than Just Sunbathing For some, luxury means doing as little as possible. But for others, there’ s a full menu of upscale experiences— on land and at sea.
Sailing is one of the best ways to explore this coast. Private catamarans depart daily from Puerto Aventuras or Cozumel, usually with snorkeling gear, paddleboards, meals by an onboard chef and a crew ready with your next mimosa.
Divers and snorkelers can explore the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef— the secondlargest in the world— via private dive excursions to coral reefs and underwater caves. Cozumel and Akumal offer some of the region’ s best visibility.
Golfers can tee off at championship courses like El Camaleón, designed by Greg Norman and a host for top-tier events. Located within the worldrenowned Mayakoba resort, this course gracefully integrates landscapes, including tropical jungles, winding mangroves, serene freshwater canals and pristine oceanfront views.
Traveling with Kensington? They’ ll match your style with private access to Tulum’ s ruins, guided visits to Cozumel’ s coral reefs or chef-led cooking classes back at your villa in Playa del Carmen. Each activity is custom-built— from private transport to personalized service— so that every outing feels like it was designed just for you.
