Each resort also features modern fitness centers within the setting of lush mangrove forests and freshwater canals alongside the Caribbean Sea.

Spanning more than 595 acres of oceanfront land along the Riviera Maya, with lush jungles, canals, and a full mile of sugar-sand beach, Mayakoba invites you to commune with nature as you immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Breathe in the salt air during sunrise yoga on the beach or slow down with a meditative walk along the shore, with the clear waters of the Caribbean as your backdrop.
