Alila Mayakoba, a highly anticipated luxury resort, has officially opened its doors along Mexico’s Riviera Maya. The opening marks the Alila brand’s debut in Latin America and the Caribbean, replacing the former Andaz Mayakoba after a year-long renovation. The resort emphasizes sustainability, cultural immersion, and unique experiences for travelers.
A New Standard for Luxury in Mayakoba
The 60-acre property offers 182 rooms, suites, and villas, ranging from standard accommodations to expansive multi-level residences. Guests can choose options with private plunge pools or even book the 4,574-square-foot presidential suite, which features three bedrooms, including one with a private terrace and hot tub.
The resort boasts six distinct dining venues, including the popular Casa Amte, which was already a highlight during the Andaz era. Additional options include a casual taqueria, an exclusive chef’s table experience, and a vibrant beach club serving regional cuisine.
Wellness and Cultural Immersion
Alila Mayakoba places a strong emphasis on wellness, offering treatments at Spa Alila inspired by ancient Mayan traditions. Guests can also enjoy complimentary yoga, breath work classes, and spiritual rituals alongside a modern fitness center. For those seeking deeper experiences, paid options include fire ceremonies and guided excursions to hidden cenotes for connection with nature and oneself.
The resort is part of the broader Mayakoba complex, which also includes properties from Rosewood, Fairmont, and Banyan Tree. This allows guests access to an 18-hole golf course, a town square with dining and shopping, and nearby natural attractions.
Booking and Special Offers
Nightly rates at Alila Mayakoba begin around $600 during low season but can exceed $1,000 during peak periods. For Hyatt loyalists, award nights start at 21,000 World of Hyatt points per night, making it a valuable redemption option.
Currently, Alila Mayakoba is running a welcome offer through December 31st. This includes pre-arrival planning assistance, complimentary airport transfers, a choice between an Ixchel Water Blessing or Tribal Soundscapes ritual, and a hydrotherapy session.
The opening of Alila Mayakoba underscores the growing trend of luxury resorts incorporating sustainability and immersive cultural experiences. This model caters to a discerning clientele seeking more than just a beach vacation.
