Mayakoba's Beach Clubs

Perhaps nowhere else does mere sand make poets of us all: people describe the Riviera Maya's beaches as talcum-powder, as sugar, as air-conditioned. Punctuating the incomparable sand, there are palm groves animated by a constant, cooling breeze. And, above all, the vast, turquoise Caribbean, smooth as glass or lit with the white of cresting waves. This is Mayakoba's beach - calm yet enlivening, undisturbed yet mesmerizing. A place to walk, to swim, to beach comb, to dream.

Each of Mayakoba's hotels has its own beach club. Typically, they include generous sundecks, an infinity-edge swimming pool overlooking the sea, a lounge, a bar and a casual but stylish seaside restaurant.

All of the beach clubs are relaxed, hospitable havens in which you can sit, shaded by a cooling palapa roof, sipping a homemade margarita while you contemplate the sea and the nearby reef – the second largest in the world - that teems with underwater life. Or catch up on the novel you've had no time for in your busy life, on a chaise lounge on the deck. Or enjoy a succulent supper of grilled fish and salad in the beachside bistro. At Mayakoba, the choice is yours.
