But anyone planning a vacation amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will likely have safety top of mind. However, it’s also safe to assume potential vacationers are also in the mood for a getaway that provides some pampering. One such option—one that effortlessly combines luxury with heightened safety standards—is Andaz Mayakoba, located along the Caribbean Sea within the exclusive Mayakoba Resort complex.

A warm welcome at Andaz Mayakoba

A genuinely warm welcome awaits at the AAA Four-Diamond awarded Andaz Mayakoba. It’s a property renowned for not only a top-tier experience, but also the way in which they embrace local culture, making it an integral part of each guests’ stay.

This is apparent from the moment you walk into the lobby where you’re greeted by the Sanctuary, a round body of water representing a cenote, an important symbol in Mayan culture. You’ll also start to notice that many of the buildings feature street art by renowned Playa del Carmen artist, Senkoe. As well as thoughtful Mayan touches throughout the resort and in each guestroom.

So much to discover at the resort and beyond

It’s also worth signing up for a visit to El Pueblito, a traditional Mexican plaza in the heart of Mayakoba featuring boutique shopping, live entertainment, colourful architecture and a seasonal farmers’ market. Or book a trip to Cenote El Burrodromo, a natural cave filled with crystal clear water.

Naum is the Mayan God of consciousness and mind, so you can expect unique treatments (referred to as “Rituals”) that can be customized based on your needs and which pay homage to oneself and the Mayan Gods. Each Ritual begins with a Mayan Time of Reflection, followed by the treatment itself, and concludes with a Mayan Celebration to help guests balance and reconnect with themselves and the universe.

Guests can also choose to take part in an interactive aromatherapy bar where they can design their own custom products and scents.

Fantastic food

Food is an important part of a positive vacation experience–something not taken lightly at Andaz Mayakoba.

And if you’re craving something healthy, stop by VB, the resort’s vegan concept, for a variety of nutritious options.
