Unveil the Magic of Riviera Maya with Alila Mayakoba: A Haven of Wellness and Mayan Traditions

Alila Mayakoba is proudly opening on the beautiful beaches of the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Putting a brand new spin on luxury, Alila Mayakoba mixes the best of nature with the best of wellness. Alila Mayakoba is a new luxury resort in Mexico’s Mayakoba enclave, and incorporates sustainable, luxury, and Mayan cultural elements into the design. This newest of Hyatt Hotels Corporation and RLH Properties’ newest luxury resort design, Alila Mayakoba, will help create a one-of-a-kind experience for guests wanting to escape and find relaxation with nature.

Alila Mayakoba marks the Alila brand’s first foray into Latin America and the Caribbean, introducing its hallmark hospitality style rooted in wellness, mindfulness, and cultural integration. Set on 60 acres of untouched coastline and wilderness.

The resort is a natural sanctuary designed to provide the experience of being in the wilderness.

Alila Mayakoba’s design represents the brand’s philosophy of an open, nature-driven design. The different wings of the resort, which are influenced by the different shades of the beach and the placid lagoon, rhythmically extend along the beach and resort. The streamlined design integrates with the surrounding nature by using tropical hardwoods, limestone, and travertine, which are also used to complement the local environmental design. The resort is designed to be an extension of nature.

Almost 40% of the resort’s 182 guest rooms, suites, and villas are suites, including a beachfront Presidential Suite. The suites also have privacy and relaxation designed into them with large terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows to ensure an uninterrupted view of the mangrove, the lagoon, and the Caribbean. The interiors of the rooms designed by Huber Design, and incorporated into the design, are fabrics and warm colors from the Yucatán Peninsula.

Alila Mayakoba invites guests to enjoy two different experiences. The lagoon side gives guests a tranquil retreat where they can relax at the Spa Alila and visit the other wellness outlets. If visitors prefer a livelier place with great family activities and opportunities for outdoor adventure, the beach has all of that to offer, along with a beautiful view of the sea.

Learning about Mayan Wellness

In the center of Alila Mayakoba’s mission is a focus on wellbeing. The resort’s philosophy is aligned with the regional ancient customs of the Mayan. This philosophy is designed with the assistance of local therapists, philosophers, and Mayan elders, and is meant to help foster a healing process that is usually absent in resort treatments. Healing practices of the Mayan include clay-and-honey cleansing and rituals for healing the skin. Added to the cleansing ritual is a drink made from local plants, honey from Melipona, and coconut water. This is one of the first of many offerings intended to immerse guests in Mayan healing.

At Alila Mayakoba, guests can enjoy unique Alila Moments that connect them to the spiritual and cultural roots of the Mayan region. Signature offerings, such as Ixchel Water Blessing ceremonies that celebrate the sacredness of water in Mayan culture and Winds of Renewal, where guests create a mandala and visit a private cenote, share the cultural depth of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Moreover, Spa Alila is a Mayan-inspired sanctuary that combines the traditions of the region with a unique approach that draws upon the cyclical nature of time, energy, and the elements. Treatments are customized to each individual based on the Tzolk’in calendar, an ancient Mayan calendar that governs the timing of rituals, ceremonies, and other events. Rituals that honor the sunrise, temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremonies, and sound healing are designed to restore balance, clarity, and harmony to the individual.

Located in the Yucatán’s Alila Mayakoba, each restaurant features a blend of regional traditions and local produce that is as diverse as the Yucatán culture. Guests are invited into an immersive culinary journey that honors the region’s diverse offerings and bountiful attractions across its six restaurants.

Regional flavors mixed with global techniques make Casa Amate, the fine-dining restaurant of the resort, stand out. In a setting that pays tribute to the rich history of the Mayakoba destination, Casa Amate provides diners with an experience that they won’t forget. A more laid-back atmosphere, the Alisio Beach Club serves Mediterranean cuisine and has an environment that feels like a serene beach. The Chef’s Atelier and the Ninguno Taqueria, which serves a modern take on Mexican street food, are also great options. If you want more relaxed dining, you can also visit El Huerto, which is a zero-waste culinary experience.

For guests who want to feel closer to the environment, Na Cocina Local provides an all-day-dining experience that incorporates Mayan cuisine with a modern twist. The menu is made to follow the natural cycles of the day and focuses on well-being and a balanced approach to food. Xiim Bar offers cocktails and drinks made from natural local ingredients and is located in the resort.

A Place for Celebrations and Retreats

Intimate celebrations and gatherings are best at Alila Mayakoba, and so are personal milestones. Beach weddings and cozy gatherings are best complemented by the resort’s beautifully thought-out environment and calm nature. The resort is a great option for corporate retreats as well.

For their weddings, the guests can choose from amazing outdoor and indoor locations, including spaces on the beach. They incorporate the surrounding nature and beauty into the events to make it more meaningful.

Luxury in Mexico

Adding the Alila Mayakoba property to the Hyatt portfolio marks the Alila brand’s progression. Mayakoba has the first Alila branding in Latin America and is one of the newest hotels in Mexico, offering the highest level of service.

As the newest addition to the Alila portfolio, Mayakoba aims to provide an exceptional and transformative vacation experience. More than a vacation, it offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique setting of the Riviera Maya and rediscover their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, while connecting with culture and nature.
