Nestled between the pristine white sand beaches of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and 240 hectares of lush tropical forest, Fairmont Mayakoba has long been a favorite resort destination in Playa del Carmen. Its recent resort-wide renovation makes this resort fixture in the exclusive, gated Mayakoba community better than ever.
