Playa del Carmen's Best 5 Star Luxury Resorts

Playa del Carmen or just "Playa", as it is also commonly referred to by locals, is a resort town on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. It's approximately 45 minutes south of Cancun on the Mayan Riviera, and offers a more relaxed atmosphere engineered for lounging and beach frolic.

Playa del Carmen's BEST Luxury Resort:

Fairmont Mayakoba

Hidden amid lagoons and white sandy beaches, the Fairmont Mayakoba lies eight kilometers north of Playa del Carmen.

The resort sits on 45 acres of a master-planned resort community and features four pools, including a 10,000-square-foot main pool with swim-up bar and an 18-hole, 2007 PGA-featured golf course designed by Greg Norman.

Fairmont Mayakoba's 401 Elegant Rooms including 34 Suites are located in a traditional low-rise hotel building and clustered throughout the property in 90 two-story Casitas with two to four rooms each.

Accomodations  categories range from generous Fairmont rooms to Presidential Suites.

With the ambiance of a gracious Mexican home, luxury amenities include comfortable Fairmont beds and expansive bathrooms, each with a soaker tub and a separate glass-walled shower stall. Large sliding doors open to furnished balconies or terraces, and all rooms offer both air conditioning and ceiling fans.


Hacienda Vista Real Villas and Spa

Adjacent to a golf course and located two kilometers from Playa del Carmen Beach, Hotel Hacienda Vista Real Villas & Spa offers a serene setting tucked away from beachside bustle. The property is 1.5 kilometers from the ferry to Cozumel Island. 

At first glance, guests are greeted by thatched- roofed buildings and an open-air lobby. The resort is comprised of 73 guest villas which feature exterior corridors. Breezy courtyards connect porticos, yielding the property much-desired shade.

The resort is well-known for its Vida Real Spa. At more than 36,000 square feet and four levels, this venue is the largest in Latin America and one of the biggest resort spas in the world. Frescos dominate the walls in an area that architecturally resembles a Mayan temple.

Tee-times are available next door at the Playacar Golf Club, or guests can enjoy the hotel's shuttle to its nearby private beach resort.

Guestrooms feature contemporary Mexican décor with marble and granite floors. 


RIU Palace Mexico Hotel

 

Riu Palace Mexico is located in the exclusive Playacar resort area, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean, just 5 minutes from Playa del Carmen.

The resort's impressive architecture encompasses 434 deluxe guestrooms featuring unique amenities, such as Riu's renowned minibar and liquor dispenser.

The hotel offers an exquisite selection of à la carte restaurants and spectacular buffets, complemented by room service and 24-hour All Inclusive (snacks and beverages). Our exchange privileges programme allows access to all other sister properties in the Riu Resort complex.

The Riu Palace is the ideal choice for a superbly luxurious and relaxing holiday!
