Luxury Resorts in Riviera Maya I Can’t Wait to Experience
Different trips call for different experiences; traveling to Mexico does not have to mean staying at an all-inclusive resort. Riviera Maya is home to many luxurious resorts and there are 3 that I’ve pinned to the top of my list as must-stays.
#1: The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai
This beauty just opened in February of this year, offering laid-back luxury among a 620-acre nature reserve. This hotel is home to only 182 guest rooms and suites, North America’s largest penthouse suite, and a lagoon-style pool. Stroll on pristine white-sand beaches and enjoy sustainable luxury with a stay at EDITION. Guests can unwind in the cenote-inspired destination spa and dine in 5 different venues from two of Mexico’s most renowned chef-restauranteurs.

Guests can take in the beauty of nature and the avant-garde design of the St. Regis. Home to only 124 rooms, suites, and residences, this resort is a true slice of paradise in Mexico. Dine at 5 distinctive restaurants, experience the Astor tradition of Afternoon Tea at The Library with select blends and finest pastries, and delight in one of their inviting rituals, the Bloody Mary which debuted in 1934 at The St. Regis New York. Try the iconic Kanai Mary made with exquisite local spices and ingredients. Unwind in luxury with their signature St. Regis Butler Service and state-of-the-art St. Regis Spa.
