Fairmont Mayakoba

One with nature

The sun’s first rays dance and sparkle on the Caribbean’s easy waves as another exquisite day begins at Fairmont Mayakoba. Those first gentle rays reveal the tropical beauty of the Riviera Maya and the Yucatan Peninsula, home to Fairmont Mayakoba. They alight, caressing the mangrove and palm, and warming the white sand beaches, the languid lagoons and pristine green of the golf course.

Here, amidst the ancient legacy of the Maya and embracing the rich and vibrant culture of Mexico, the Riviera Maya offers travelers a rich selection of things to do and adventures to experience. Local activities include exploring the awe-inspiring Mayan archeological sites, playing in the many ecological theme and water parks, diving on the world’s second largest coral reef, shopping the wonderful markets and stepping out to the exciting nightlife. At the Fairmont Mayakoba, guests can savour exquisite culinary fare and exceptional golf and spa. They can explore with property tours and of course take advantage of all the onsite facilities, pools and beach. Fairmont Mayakoba is simply a travel destination to be experienced first hand.

An affluent enclave and part of the larger Mayakoba resort community, Fairmont Mayakoba is a luxurious hideaway, a private retreat offering exceptional service and an unequaled travel experience in five different ecosystems.
