HOTEL SUMMARY
Where ancient Mayan wisdom meets contemporary luxury, Rosewood Mayakoba emerges from the Riviera Maya's pristine coastline as Mexico's most sophisticated eco-sanctuary. This Forbes Five Star resort transforms 620 acres of protected mangrove lagoons and Caribbean beachfront into an exclusive retreat that redefines luxury accommodation through harmony with nature.
Opened in 2008 as the crown jewel of the visionary Mayakoba development, Rosewood Mayakoba represents the pinnacle of the globally acclaimed Rosewood Hotels & Resorts portfolio. The resort's creation involved hydrologists and biologists to preserve the delicate mangrove ecosystem, establishing it as a pioneer in luxury eco-tourism. Under Managing Director Daniel Scott's leadership, the property has earned Forbes Five Star Resort and Spa ratings alongside AAA Five Diamond recognition, cementing its position among the world's premier luxury destinations.
The resort's 129 suites redefine ultra-luxury living with each accommodation featuring private plunge pools, garden showers, and individual docks overlooking either secluded lagoons or the Caribbean Sea. Overwater suites rest on stilts like South Pacific fantasies, while beachfront accommodations open directly onto pristine sand. The crown jewel, the 16,300-square-foot Founder's Villa, offers unparalleled beachfront luxury for the most discerning guests. Contemporary Mexican design elements blend exposed wood, natural stone, and tile throughout spacious living areas, while seven private villas with up to four bedrooms provide home-away-from-home luxury with dedicated butler service.
Culinary excellence defines the Rosewood Mayakoba experience through seven distinctive restaurants and bars celebrating Mexico's diverse gastronomic heritage. From Northern Baja California seafood with Asian influences to the adults-only Aquí Me Quedo beachside retreat featuring street food and Caribbean coastal fare, each venue offers a unique sensorial journey. La Fondita in El Pueblito village square serves Mexico City-style tostadas and mezcal, while traditional Mexican bakery aromas complete the authentic experience.
