Along this coast, home to the second-largest coral reef in the world stretching from the Yucatan to Guatemala, Mayakoba has made its distinction by being a carefully maintained ecosystem of dunes, mangroves and freshwater lagoons - home to myriad indigenous species of fish, birds and mammals.

Location Summary
Perched on the upper-right-hand corner of the Yucatan peninsula, just some 70 km (42 miles) south of glitzy Cancun where shiny skyscrapers dominate the skyline, Banyan Tree Mayakoba is tucked between the pristine emerald green tropical mangrove and dazzling turquoise Caribbean Sea. Riviera Maya, Mexico, has a markedly different vibe from Cancun as resort developments are built no taller than four stories and environmental sustainability is a top priority. The heart of Riviera Maya - the 100-mile stretch of blue-green Caribbean and bleached white sand that stretches from Cancun and south to Tulum - is a small but buzzing beach town called Playa del Carmen which has grown tremendously in popularity during the last decade. From nightlife to taco stands to souvenirs from every part of Mexico, Playa del Carmen offers it in style. Just minutes from Playa (beach in Spanish) as locals call it, the resort is also located within an easy distance of three stunning and highly significant archaeological sites - the Chichen Itza complex, the Tulum seaside ruins, and the Coba jungle temples. Hundreds of structures which date as far back as the 3rd century during the Maya civilization are still standing today and can be visited by anyone with a day to spare. These historical highlights are complemented by other sights and activities for the adventurous - from protected nature reserves to the cenotes, discover the best that the Riviera Maya has to offer!

This interactive two-hour session brings guests on a bird-watching and animal-spotting adventure, sharing intimate knowledge of the friendly creatures that include tortoises, iguanas and even a crocodile or two living freely in their natural environment.
Golfing
Opened in 2006, the El Camaleón Golf Club, Mayakoba has quickly become one of the most talked about golf courses in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Meaning "The Chameleon", the golf course earns its name by weaving through three distinct ecosystems - jungle, dense mangrove and stunning, oceanfront stretches of sand.
Scuba Diving
First made famous by famed French marine pioneer Jacques Cousteau in 1961, Cozumel is today one of the world's premier diving and snorkeling destinations known for its warm crystal clear waters and coral gardens. It is accessible via hourly ferry services from Playa del Carmen.
