Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cancun, this is a stunning all-suite resort that sits on a private stretch of white sand in the exclusive setting of Playa Mujeres. A selection of infinity pools and the signature Dreams Spa by Pevonia® provide a refreshing sanctuary for parents, while for younger guests, there is a children’s pool, a water park for all ages, the Explorer’s Club for Kids (3-12 years) and Core Zone Teens Club (13-17 years). The teens' club features a rock climbing wall, games room and baseball batting cage. As part of the Unlimited-Luxury® package, you have 10 dining options at the resort. Depending on your personal preference, you can enjoy an international buffet, a delicious Brazilian grill, or a variety of menus at the six à la carte restaurants, where dishes range from the authentic Mexican cuisine at Tres Colores to the French delicacies at the adults-only L’Etoile. There are also a number of bars, including two that are specially designed for younger guests, and an ice cream parlour. The suites all feature a large separate living area and a furnished private terrace. They’re decorated in a calming neutral palette with lovely bursts of soothing blues, greens and greys throughout. Junior Suites are suitable for families and overlook either the beautiful gardens, pool or, for a supplement, the ocean. For added luxury, an upgrade to one of the Preferred Club suites means you will benefit from added extras such as access to an exclusive lazy river, exclusive restaurant access and 20% off spa treatments at the Dreams Spa by Pevonia®. Additionally, all Dreams guests over the age of 18 can enjoy access to adults-only Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort next door.
Haven Riviera Cancun is an another-level beachfront hangout looking out over the Caribbean Sea. A ribbon of sugar-white sand trails along the coastline, lapped by startlingly clear water the colour of topaz. The cleverly designed retreat exudes a surprisingly intimate vibe: lush tropical gardens wrap around four swimming pools, a spa, five restaurants and a cluster of suites, some of which tumble down to the flour-soft sands. All of the suites come with a private terrace, outdoor hot tub and Mexican-influenced interiors – hand-woven rugs, patterned cushions and a smattering of wall art. Pick a Junior Suite Garden View for a tranquil hangout with lush views, or a Romance Junior Suite Swim-Out Partial Ocean View for direct access to the shared swim-out which looks out over the ocean – perfect for honeymooners. Upgrade to the Serenity Club for the best oceanfront digs and a multitude of perks: butler service, access to Serenity Club Lounge, VIP treats and use of the spa’s water journey experience (sauna, steam rooms, hamman) and pool circuit. You’ll also get an additional complimentary green fee at El Tinto Golf Course at Cancun Country Club and a snorkelling tour. Foodies will love the gourmet offering – from the deli-style Flavours Marketplace and Mexican steakhouse Agua Bendita, to the grilled seafood at Vora Mar, Asian Fusion plates at Satsu and Mediterranean classics at Olios. Despite the number of restaurants and bars, you’ll rarely have to queue for a table – the hotel is ‘small’ in Riviera Maya terms.
Secrets Resorts & Spas has refined the art of seaside holidays on the Riviera Maya. This Playa Mujeres jewel sits on Mexico’s sun-drenched Caribbean coastline, 10 minutes from downtown Cancún. It has everything you need for a tropical getaway – and more. There’s a sprawling Secrets Spa by Pevonia®, with tranquil pools tucked away among fan-shaped palms, and an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course, plus watersports, tequila tastings, cocktail making classes, yoga and tennis. A huge freeform pool, which is lined by sun loungers and features a swim-up bar, includes four whirlpool baths and an infinity pool looking out over the ocean. It’s not all about beaches on this stretch of the Yucatan Peninsula though: an incredible mix of ancient Mayan and traditional Mexican culture is ripe for discovery. Explore the crumbling ruins of Chichén Itzá, take part in a complimentary Temazcal ceremony and swim in startlingly turquoise cenotes (underground swimming holes). You have 15 food and drink spots at the hotel to work your way through – everything from classic à la carte Mexican to Pan-Asian delicacies and French cuisine. And the best thing is that there are no reservations required and it’s all included as part of the Unlimited Luxury® all-inclusive package. One of the best bars is Desires, a lofty rooftop haunt with low-slung sofas and live music, while the toes-in-the-sand Barracuda has rustic swings to perch on, cocktail in hand. If you somehow manage to tick these all off your list, there are another 10 restaurants and 13 bars at the neighbouring Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort, a family friendly spot that you can enjoy free-flow access to.
