The stunning location and hacienda-style architecture; the spacious villas with their private gardens and swimming pools; the flawless service and signature Asian hospitality for which Banyan Tree is known – they all conspire to make this one of the Riviera Maya’s most exclusive resorts. The dining experience is equally enticing, with the opportunity to dine aboard a traditional Mexican trajinera (boat) or have a delicious BBQ prepared for you in the comfort of your own villa.

If you do venture beyond the resort, you are in for a rare treat. Banyan Tree Mayakoba is surrounded by an enticing habitat of mangroves, beaches and fresh water lagoons that invite exploration. Step outside to explore world-class coral reefs, swim in cenotes and visit the historic sites of Mayan ruins, before returning to the Banyan Tree’s award-winning spa for the ultimate pampering.
