Hidden in a small village just outside Playa del Carmen, Viceroy Riviera Maya is a seaside refuge extending deep into the primitive Maya tropical forest.

Owned by Cuban-born writer and artist Sandra Pérez Lozano, as its name suggests, Ser CasaSandra is intended to feel as much like a home as a hotel. It features just 17 rooms (and one villa), made from local materials, and dotted throughout tropical gardens. There’s a bohemian vibe: think homemade hammocks, an eclectic collection of antiques and rattan furniture, while art adorns every wall.

One of the best-kept secrets on the Riviera Maya, Jashita is a luxury boutique hotel hidden away in Soliman Bay.

Situated within 240 acres of tropical forest and crystal clear waterways, Fairmont Mayakoba is one of three hotels in the Mayakoba complex, known as Venice of the Caribbean.

After 8 years of conception, perfecting and evolving wellness, Chablé Maroma opened its doors. Like its sister property, Chablé Yucatán, the hotel genuinely pays tribute to local Mayan traditions and heritage, embracing authentic Mayan conventions regularly.
