What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms and suites combine crisp modern fixtures and furnishings with the warmth of local materials and crafts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The resort sits along the island's sheltered western shore, facing calm bay waters twenty minutes by boat from mainland Cancun.
The rooms
Duplex suites spread across two floors with private plunge pools, and every suite opens onto a balcony decorated with local crafts.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers line the rooftop infinity edge, and a freeform pool curves below a thatched palapa.
The spa
Curved ceramic loungers warm the relaxation lounge, and treatments draw on Mayan rituals honoring the goddess Ixchel.
Hydrotherapy and gym
Swan-neck spouts feed outdoor plunge pools among tropical gardens, beside a gym equipped for cardio and strength work.
Almare Lobby Bar
Woven pendants light the marble bar, where bartenders pour regional wines and botanical infusions against a palm mural.
At the table
A chrome food truck serves fresh bowls right on the sand, and thatched palapas shade seaside dining tables.
How it began
The property was formerly the Palace Isla Mujeres, completely rebuilt in 2024 as Marriott's first luxury all-inclusive in Mexico.
