The house
HyattAdults-only Riviera Maya resort
Guests stay in a private oceanfront enclave, moving between quiet rooftop infinity pools and fourteen restaurants across the grounds.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Twelve pools include three man-made cenotes and a sprawling lagoon on the Caribbean.
What they say
Also in The 50 Discovery.
Spacious suites feature wood-panelled design and terraces overlooking turquoise shores, where activities including kayaking and snorkelling await.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds sit secluded in the gated Corasol enclave on the Riviera Maya coast, just north of Playa del Carmen.

The rooms
Suites feature earthy wood finishes, and every terrace holds a private plunge pool or outdoor hot tub.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A beachfront pool sits beneath a rustic timber pergola, and rooftop infinity pools look straight out over the Caribbean.
The hydrotherapy circuit
Submerged jet loungers sit beneath massive timber columns, and the outdoor hydrotherapy circuit leads to cascading waterfalls and cold plunge buckets.
At the table
Ember prepares open-grill cuts beneath an illuminated skeleton sculpture. Across the grounds, an open-air bamboo pavilion sits over a cenote pool.
How it began
Architects aligned the triple-height Mayan arch at the entrance with the winter solstice, framing a direct axis to the sea.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
