Banyan Tree Mayakoba is among the top resorts in Mexico. It’s renowned for exceptional luxury, illustrated by its claim to fame as the only all-private pool villa resort in the Riviera Maya. We enjoy the blend of Mexican culture—notable in the warm service—and Eastern elements—drawn from the brand’s Asian roots. The villas themselves were inspired by Asian courtyard houses; combining traditional clean lines with the utmost in luxurious finishes. At every turn, this exclusive gated community delivers sensory delight, with lagoons, waterways and Mexico’s only PGA championship golf course. Banyan Tree Mayakoba is a sanctuary for the senses.
