A transformation of the former Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya, the resort will open with 118 refined guestrooms and 64 suites—each with a private pool. Set within 148 acres of protected mangroves and freshwater canals, guests will find a considered blend of privacy and local immersion—from outdoor treatments and regional healing rituals at the spa to culinary concepts shaped by the land and sea and unique masterclasses with local experts. The resort’s elevated interiors, community-driven programming, and strong sense of place reflect its brand ethos – driving meaningful connection to the environment and local culture.
