The house
HyattCenote-fringed beachfront playground
The resort balances expansive pool days with lively nights, featuring nightly theatre shows and a speakeasy hidden behind a pharmacy.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Seven swimming pools and three man-made cenotes anchoring an expansive beachfront campus.
Notable
Live-edge woodwork and limestone finishes evoke subterranean cenotes across open pavilions.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The private Corasol community borders the grounds, sitting along the Riviera Maya coastline just north of Playa del Carmen.

The rooms
Interiors carry an organic feel throughout, finished with live-edge wood furnishings and natural stone textures.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A sand-entry lagoon pool winds past palm tree islands, and an oceanfront infinity pool looks out over the water.
The hydrotherapy circuit
Swan-neck jets and submerged massage beds line the hydrotherapy pool, sheltered beneath heavy timber pergolas.
The swim-up bar
A thatched palapa shades the in-water bar, where guests can order drinks directly from the turquoise pool.
At the table
Dos Almas hosts tequila tastings around an interactive taco bar. At Ember, chefs grill cuts over open fire.
How it began

The name translates from the Mayan for tree root, which guided architect Luis Enrique Macedo's earth-toned design.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
