Bougainvillea strikes a vibrant contrast against a spectrum of greens and blues along a stretch of the Caribbean Sea at Grand Velas Riviera Maya. Long known as a premier destination for divers due to the spectacular barrier reef that runs the length of its coast, the lush jungle-meets-ocean locale on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is equally appealing for visitors searching for a luxurious tropical respite. Whatever any traveler may seek, it comes with a healthy dose of stunning natural beauty here.

Grand Velas Riviera Maya offers a trio of premium accommodation options, allowing guests to choose the setting for their ideal getaway in Playa del Carmen. The Grand Class oceanfront suites are just steps from the sand, with private terraces and plunge pools, while family-friendly Ambassador suites offer easy access to family-oriented experiences including beach games and kids’ clubs. Set away from the main resort, Zen Grand suites are a true sanctuary in the jungle.

Exquisite amenities and premium service liberate Grand Velas Riviera Maya from any dated stigma associated with the all-inclusive resorts of yesterday. Instead, it rises to the top of this ever-competitive category of hotel with gourmet international cuisine, spacious suites, and an award winning spa. Eco-tours, tequila tastings, and proximity to the Tulum ruins add an immersive element, ensuring the sights, tastes, and history of Mexico remain at the heart of every experience.

Natural Pools

Natural Pools

Cenotes – naturally occurring sinkholes – abound in the Yucatán, with some estimates counting 10,000 of them. Many are swimmable and abundant with marine life, making for exciting exploration. Any guest at Grand Velas Riviera Maya looking to tap their inner adventurer with a dip in one of these remarkable pools will not be disappointed. The resort will coordinate an excursion to a cenote for a swim with one of its more adorable inhabitants: marine turtles.
