Hidden away on the Mayan Riviera is Viceroy Riviera Maya, cunningly discreet amongst six acres of tropical jungle and with the Caribbean sea lapping against the sand. There are just 41 villas that make up this charming boutique hotel. These are set throughout the grounds, fringed by ferns, palms and guava trees to provide maximum privacy and peace. Winding walkways weave through the foliage to lead to the spa, restaurants, pool area and beach.
The villas are beautiful designed and crowned by towering thatched-palapa roofs that blend in seamlessly with the surrounding foliage. There are various villa categories, each with its own unique features such as the outdoor moon shower in the Luxury Villas, to the private sunbathing decks of the Royal Villas, the luxurious deep-soaking bathtubs of the Signature Villas and the beautiful sea views enjoyed by the Beachfront Villas. All of the villas benefit from their own private terrace with a plunge pool, day beds, outdoor dining table and crochet hammock. The villas also all come equipped with all the modern amenities, including complimentary WiFi, satellite TV, luxury bed linen, and an entertainment centre with a personal audio system.
There are two main restaurants at Viceroy Riviera Maya: La Marea offering delicious traditional cuisine, and Coral Grill serving Mexican-Mediterranean style cuisine straight off the grill by the beach. The Library Lounge offers light snacks and drinks throughout the day and there is also a 'Dine Anytime, Anywhere' service where you can choose to have your meals on your private terrace, by the pool or on the beach.
The Spa at Viceroy Riviera Maya is also particularly notable, with a lovely thatched roof and soothing atmosphere in which guests can enjoy a wide range of treatments, inspired by the ancient Mayans with a deeply holistic influence. There is a Herbal Steam Room, Jungle Spa Suite, Outdoor Rain Room, Fertility Spa Suite and traditional Mayan Temazcal sweat lodge. Treatments can also be enjoyed on the beach, in the privacy of your own villa, or on the resort's pier.
