A MILE-LONG CRESCENT OF WHITE SAND
Fringed by emerald jungle, Rosewood Mayakoba embodies the essence of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Combining natural beauty with a striking, modern design, guests can expect tranquillity, serenity and indulgence.
Perfectly positioned along a mile-long crescent of white sand, Rosewood Mayakoba is at the heart of a 1,600-acre luxury resort enclave north of Playa del Carmen. First opened in 2008, the resort has grown into one of the most celebrated hotels in the region, earning a reputation for its environmentally aware, luxurious indulgence.
On arrival, guests are transferred by boat to their own personal sanctuary. The 128 open-plan suites are contemporary in design, but maintain the legacy of the region with plentiful use of natural materials. Airy, open spaces, sliding-glass doors, luxurious furnishings and wooden lattices combine to create a feeling of space and relaxation. Some villas feature outdoor garden showers and plunge pools.
As well as simple relaxation, the Rosewood Mayakoba offers an 18-hole golf course, El Camaleon, which meanders along the coast, a spa, fitness centre and innumerable water sports – all on site. External activities such as day trips to the Mayan ruins in Tulum, tequila tastings and deep sea fishing can all be arranged through the hotel’s butler service.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
