Banyan Tree Mayakoba

Savour blissful treatments in the indulgent spa

Mayakoba means 'village on water', a reference to the lagoons and waterways that meander through this elegant and luxurious sanctuary resort, where lush tropical flora and a spectacular beach collude to create an intimate Mexican hideaway.

Unwind in the award-winning spa, relax in the pool, work-out at the gym and rejuvenate with a spot of yoga. Go snorkelling and diving nearby (payable locally) and send little ones to the fun-packed kids' club.

As well as four fantastic restaurants and in-villa dining, book dinner onboard the resort's dining trajinera, cruising around the lagoon as the sun sets.

Destination introduction

Stretching south from pretty Playa del Carmen to Tulum's dramatic cliff-top ruins, the Mayan Riviera offers miles of powdery white-sand beaches, ancient Mayan sites and tranquil ecological parks. Quieter than Cancun, it's an ideal destination for those in search of peace and relaxation.

Mayan Riviera holiday highlights
•   Puerto Aventuras lies just 10 miles south of Playa Del Carmen. Still relatively undeveloped, its main attraction is the marina with its adjacent shops, bars and restaurants.
•   Three miles further south of Puerto Aventuras is the small fishing village of Xpu-Ha and the spectacular eco-resort with its powdery beaches, tropical mangroves and transparent turquoise waters.
•   Tulum sits on the southeast coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, about 80 miles south of Cancun. It's famous for the stunning Mayan ruins perched on the edge of the cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. A quiet resort with a spectacular, wide sandy beach and easy access to the Xel-Ha ecological park.
•   Visit Xcaret eco-archaeological park and see a range of flora and fauna, small Mayan ruins and a natural aquarium. You can even swim with dolphins.
