We know everyone’s working with different budgets, if you’re looking for other hotel options nearby, we’d be happy to share some recommendations.
Resort Map
Mayakoba is a gated resort community on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, just outside Playa del Carmen. It’s a jungle-meets-ocean paradise, with beaches, lagoons, and mangroves all in one place. Guests can explore all four resorts—Banyan Tree, Rosewood, Fairmont, and Andaz—using complimentary shuttles, bikes, golf carts, or canal boats. With over 30 restaurants and bars, you can easily hop to another hotel for dinner, drinks, or a beach day. We especially love the Fairmont’s restaurants—HIX, La Laguna, and Fuego are musts. And don’t miss Cielo, the rooftop bar where Joel proposed—our favorite spot in all of Mayakoba!
El Pueblito
El Pueblito is a charming village square within Banyan Tree Mayakoba, designed to feel like a traditional Mexican plaza. It features a chapel, cute shops, casual dining (think tacos, mezcal, and burgers), and even an arcade—perfect for a stroll, a bite, or a relaxed evening with friends and family.
Book Activities
There’s no shortage of ways to relax or explore! Enjoy complimentary activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, pickleball, tennis, archery, yoga and nature trails. You can also book spa treatments (with 20% off select services), cooking classes, tequila tastings, golf, or a romantic sunset boat ride. Feeling adventurous? Try snorkeling, jet skiing, cenote swims, or visit nearby Mayan ruins. Everything can be booked through the concierge—plan ahead or go with the flow!
