Mexico’s newest luxury destination emerges in Riviera Maya, featuring three world-class resorts along the Caribbean coastline. Kanai spans 680 acres and sits against lush jungle and tranquil mangrove forests, as well as miles of white-sand beaches. In a bold reimagining of ecotourism, Kanai blends luxury with sustainability, allowing travelers to better appreciate the region’s environment and understand the importance of preserving it.

Etéreo centers around extraordinary cuisine, encounters with nature, mesmerizing beaches and wellness. The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai opened last February and features 182 guestrooms and suites, a lagoon-sized pool, versatile meeting spaces, and North America’s largest penthouse suite. Last June, the property debuted a cenote-inspired spa. The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya, meanwhile, spans 124 guestrooms, suites and residences. This luxury property offers dramatic views, private terraces and plunge pools, a St. Regis Spa, signature Butler Service, curated culinary journeys, and more.
