The first Alila-branded property in Latin America and the Caribbean arrives in Mayakoba, Mexico, later this year. Alila Mayakoba takes over the former Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya, undergoing a complete renovation and transformation.

Wellbeing and sustainability are central to the new hotel. Set amongst 148 acres of mangrove, the new property allows guests to connect with the indigenous natural environment, designed to celebrate the secluded location of Mayakoba and honor its distinctive water canals and ancient Mayan culture.

The new hotel will reduce the number of guestrooms and increase the suite count to 40 percent of the total inventory, offering wellness-focused accommodations. Guests can expect elaborate indoor and outdoor wellness spaces, intentional programming led by experts and local healers, renovated spa with outdoor communal hydrotherapy amenities, and extensive gardens.

The resort will also boast a new Temazcal, a traditional Mexican steam bath supporting therapeutic and spiritual wellbeing. Food and beverage offerings include a curated coffee shop, three-meal restaurant with an on-site garden, two signature restaurants, new lobby lounge serving artisanal cocktails using local ingredients, beachfront restaurant and a new beach club.

The new property offers guests and World of Hyatt members with existing reservations at Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya for stays after March 2 and until the hotel resumes operations the option to relocate to other Hyatt properties or another hotel within the Mayakoba complex or cancel their stay with no penalty.
