Sculpted coastal refuge
Brooding architectural lines frame an adults-only sanctuary, opening outward onto tranquil palapa loungers and palatial interconnected pools.
“Grand, spacious, bordering on austere, with waterfalls cascading down cold blue tiles and lights trickling down grey cement walls, it’s a stunning contrast.”

The 347 sand-toned accommodations bring the beach indoors in the best way possible.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the secluded sands of Uvero Alto, the resort sits thirty-five minutes north of the airport on the Atlantic coast.
The rooms
Sand-toned suites feature freestanding soaking tubs, with ground-floor options stepping directly into quiet swim-up pool branches.
The spa and pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Spa suites include sunken stone tubs for Natura Bissé rituals, and submerged daybeds sit out in the communal pools.
The hydrotherapy pool
Swan-neck fountain jets line the indoor hydrotherapy pool, set beneath skylights and fluted stone pillars.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Fifteen venues span poolside Mediterranean tables, traditional Mexican cooking, and drinks beside the pool tables at Compton St.
How it began
Opened in 2021, the property marked Mexican hospitality group Posadas's first venture outside its home country.
