Rosewood Mayakobá Riviera Maya Mexico
In 1997, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts made a big splash in Mexico with Las Ventanas al Paraíso in Los Cabos, a stunning beachfront resort that in the decade since has become an icon in the world of luxury hotels. In December, following a long gestation and much anticipation, the company finally “soft opened” its second property in the country, Rosewood Mayakobá on the Riviera Maya; the resort’s official, full-scale launch is next week. Rosewood is the second company to open in the big mixed-use residential-hotel-golf community north of Playa del Carmen called Mayakobá.
(Fairmont was the first, and a Viceroy and Banyan Tree are slated to open later this year.) Though we haven’t yet booked ourselves in, early reports suggest the new Rosewood is a winner.
Of the 128 suites done in a stylish, pared-down style using local limestone and woods from renewable sources the 16 on the beach are obviously prime real estate, though the remainder, arranged along a network of lagoons that wend their way through mangrove forest, provide a novel take on the typical Mexican resort experience: each has its own dock, and guests are transported around the property via silent boats (silent, to avoid disturbing the wildlife). All rooms have a private plunge pool, and there’s a staff of 40 butlers to take care of your needs.
The nice thing about the Riviera Maya in general, of course, is that there’s more to do than just loll on the beach you’ve got Mayan ruins at Tulum; some decent shopping, restaurants and bars in Playa del Carmen and coral reef for diving and snorkeling offshore but looking at the images from Rosewood, we think it might be hard to tear yourself away.
