Colourful reef fish, stunning underwater caves and crystalline turquoise waters provide the backdrop for this secluded boutique resort on the Riviera Maya

This beachfront retreat encompasses just 30 luxury suites on the shores of dreamy Soliman Bay. The food is superb, with the ocean-facing restaurant serving a mix of Mexican and Italian specialities – Mayan spiced prawns and grilled lobster – whilst the spa welcomes you into a haven of tranquillity whenever you need some ‘you’ time.

Diving enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover the coral reef protecting the resort’s beach is part of the world’s second-largest barrier reef system. In just a couple of minutes, you could be gliding alongside a kaleidoscope of vividly-coloured fish. The hotel also puts you within reach of stunning underwater caves and the magnificent Tulum ruins, including the mighty El Castillo, Chichen Itza and Coba.
