Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
this 593-suite paradise scoffs at the thought and points to marble-clad floors, wood-paneled embellishments and many avant-garde artistic takes.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds border the Playa Mujeres golf course and Chachmuchuch mangroves, set well apart from Cancun's busy hotel strip.
The rooms
Suites have marble floors and wood detailing, and ground-level options open directly into semi-private swim-up pool channels.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Lagoon pools meander past swim-up bars and submerged loungers, and a rooftop infinity pool overlooks the coast.
The spa and gym
Underground, the spa houses a hydrotherapy lap pool, and the fitness center is equipped with Technogym machines.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining spans thirteen venues, from Edgar Núñez's contemporary Mexican menus at María Dolores to fresh morning juices at Alba.
How it began
Design studio Curioso shaped the resort around Mayan traditions, incorporating native chukum plaster and open courtyards that catch the rain.
