Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya Resort Hotel

Fairmont MYK – Impeccable Service, Great staff  – Love this Property!

On the Riviera Maya, the Fairmont Mayakoba hotel offers an ideal tropical escape. Just steps from the ocean, our luxurious Riviera Maya resort features gracious service and all the excitement of the region. Plan your stay at the official website of the Fairmont Mayakoba.

The Riviera Maya is located in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula in the State of Quintana Roo and nests alongside the Caribbean Sea. Situated in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Fairmont Mayakoba is approximately 42 miles or 70 km south of Cancun, within the Mayakoba resort development; a secure, 240-acre gated community surrounded by canals, shoreline and mangrove forests, which is only accesible via one main entrance point.

The mysticism and magic of an ancient culture is still present. Serene sunlight flickers and dances on emerald lagoon waters, and the rolling surf of the Caribbean washes the shore creating a natural symphony of sound and smell.

Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya’s Mexican home is a unique mixture of interwoven cultures. While the host of free spirits and roamers that have long been attracted to this glorious peninsula have lent to the relaxed local culture a European style and flair for gracious living, travelers can bask in perfect solitude on uninhabited beaches, explore eco-parks or enjoy nearby Playa del Carmen’s exuberant nightlife.

Many come to experience Cozumel -one of the world’s premier diving and snorkeling destinations first made famous by famed French marine pioneer Jacques Cousteau- where the warm currents and coral reefs support a breathtaking pantheon of marine life. Others come to explore Chichén Itzá, one of the world’s new seven wonders, and experience the fascinating world of the Mayans, whose mythology, science and culture can still be felt today. Most want a taste of it all: the delicate jungle, the alabaster white sand beaches, the crystal clear turquoise water, the fine cuisine and the spectacular nightlife!

Restaurants

Between sunrise over the Caribbean and a night sky filled with the same brilliant stars that inspired the Mayans, you have plenty of time to savor the fare at one of four exceptional restaurants at the Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, Mexico. Wake up to an energizing breakfast and unwind with a poolside lunch; regroup with cocktails at sunset and wind up with some very sweet endings.

In such an idyllic place, personal gatherings and events take on an unforgettable magic. Whether in the lavish Ballroom – opening to a water and sun filled courtyard – or at unique well-appointed breakout rooms, Fairmont Mayakoba, Cancun promises an occasion to surpass all dining expectations.

Sustainable menus

Fairmont Mayakoba has made a commitment to the environment and to sourcing local, organic and sustainable items wherever possible. As such, we are committed to offering sustainable seafood choices on our menus at our Riviera Maya restaurants.

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts have continually aligned with reputable seafood watch organizations, and use them as a guide when choosing the fish to be offered on hotel menus. At The Fairmont Mayakoba, we work with Ocean Leader S.A., which purchases Caribbean lobster (Panulirus argus) from the Punta Allen co-operative, within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. This co-operative applies special techniques to capture the lobster in a sustainable manner, thus being able to maintain and even increase the lobster population in the area. Thanks to this innovative method where young and female lobsters are spared, this kind of fishing is scientifically qualified as sustainable. Through the purchase of sustainable lobster,  Fairmont Mayakoba supports the economic development of the local communities within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve and offers its guests the best fish and seafood options in the region.

Additionally, Fairmont Mayakoba ensures that its seafood vendors comply with all legal requirements, by asking them for all pertinent permits and refraining from the purchase of products that are seasonally banned.

At Fairmont Mayakoba, we have identified the optimal choices for this region as the Mero (i.e. Grouper), the Huachinango (i.e. Red Snapper) and the Boquinete (i.e. Caribbean Reef Snapper), and proudly serve them on our menu.

Cooking classes

Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya offers guests, both children and adults, who enjoy cooking and want to give their stay a different “taste,” the opportunity to prepare unique recipes with the guidance of the hotel’s Executive Chef David Andrews. Additionally, those who take cooking lessons will be able to take a tour through the hotel’s main kitchen, where they will become familiar with the highest food and beverage standards that characterize Fairmont Mayakoba’s AAA Four Diamond award-winning restaurants.

Furthermore, guests will receive chef hats, apron and gloves to wear and make them feel like true culinary professionals!  So much FUN!

El Cameleon

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts manages the neighboring 18-hole El Camaleón designed by Greg Norman, site of the only official PGA TOUR event held outside US or Canada, the Mayakoba Golf Classic

El Camaleón was developed with all levels of players in mind, offering unique hazards and challenging greens along with a practice and learning facility and a minimum of five tee blocks on each and every hole. Rightly named for its diverse layout and ever-changing landscape, which bends through tropical jungles, dense mangroves and oceanfront stretches of sand, this masterpiece designed by golf legend Greg Norman serves as the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable golf vacation!

Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Mayakoba

Located in the heart of a tropical jungle on the area’s natural lagoons, lies an amazing back drop for a mystical spa journey reminiscent of the textures, colors and scents of the ancient Mayan culture.

There are places to rest and reflect close to the elements the Mayans used hundreds of years ago to erect their monuments and temples. They used Conchera, a fossil stone, Sascab as their mortar, natural green marble from Guatemala and the magnificent wood of the Zapote tree. You’ll find the same elements incorporated throughout the spa.

The Riviera Maya forest provides private canopies for the treatment rooms, overlooking the treetops of the mangrove forest. The romantic spa suite is a breathtaking opportunity to spend time with your loved one with side-by-side treatments. The men’s and ladies’ locker areas feature beautiful Mexican gardens with outdoor Swiss showers and whirlpools. On the rooftop, ease your muscles with the healing waters of the signature vitality pool, or find energy in the sea-mineral soaking pool.

You’ll find unique treatments and experiences based on local tradition and flora, ranging from Willow Stream signature experiences to uniquely Mayan traditions featuring local herbs, essential oils, and extracts. One of the most popular is the Cha Chac Rain Ritual, based on the Mayan rain ritual. There is also the amazing Yucatan Healing Retreat, which you get to share with a special friend. For chocolate lovers, discover Cacao with The Food of the Gods Body Nourisher. Whichever you choose, the healing touches of our Willow Stream experience providers will guide you to renewing your energy.  FYI -Try the Honey in the Heart or the Chocolate food of the Gods Treatment!!
