The Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya, will be part of the Mayakoba resort community development situated along the Caribbean coastline. Located approximately 40 miles south of Cancun near the town of Playa del Carmen, on the Tulum corridor in the province of Quintana Roo, this rapidly growing tourist destination is renowned for its pristine beaches, lush forest, Mayan ruins and premier diving and snorkeling. In addition to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts' 401-room resort property, the Mayakoba resort development will also house five additional hotel sites, two golf courses and residential properties. Tempt your palate at one of our dining outlets which include a Mexican and international cuisine restaurant in the main building, Brisas del Mar, an elegant Oceanside restaurant with a high palapa roof and terrace seating for 50, a casual all-day pool grill, and a sunrise-to-sunset market cafe. Afternoon tea and coffee service, tropical cocktails and seasonal live music are offered in the lobby bar; a swim-up pool bar and 24-hour In-Room Dining are also available.

Location Summary
If asked to name a beach-side city on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, most people would say "Cancun." But unlike its rowdier neighbor to the north, Playa del Carmen presents a lifestyle focused on gourmet indulgence, Mayan culture and ecological sensitivity, instead of raucous festivals and all-night partying. Playa del Carmen, or "Playa" as it is known locally, was once a sleepy little fishing village, and these small-town roots remain, as city ordinance prohibits buildings taller than three stories to help protect the aesthetics of the town. Local businesses have chosen to highlight the region's cultural and natural history. Area restaurants cook using traditional native spices, local spas tout treatments such as "Mayan mud baths" and several resorts have actual Mayan ruins on their premises. Playa's convenient proximity to the ruins of Tulum and Cobá grants visitors ample opportunity to explore and learn about these ancient villages. Underground rivers and caves are a unique feature of the area, as well, and many tour companies run programs that educate participants about jungle ecology and geology. Like any beach-centric destination, Playa has its share of t-shirt shops and bars, but visitors will find it also offers a wide range of finer establishments, many of which are located on the pedestrian-only thoroughfare known as Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue) that runs through the heart of the city. On temperate evenings, visitors and locals walk "Quinta," stopping for refreshments at the numerous open-air cafes and taking in the many roving musicians and street performers.
Note Bene
The Fairmont Mayakoba is situated just south of Cancun on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. This prized stretch of the Caribbean coast, known as the Riviera Maya, is only 15 minutes from the town of Playa del Carmen. Tucked under a forest canopy and designed around a network of crystal clear waterways, The Fairmont Mayakoba encompasses 45 acres within a master-planned luxury community. For individuals or groups, the resort offers all the comforts of home, and the exceptional Mayan experience.
