The luxury Fairmont Mayakoba resort is situated within 240 acres of tropical forest intersected by crystal clear waterways and surrounded by a pristine Caribbean shoreline, 40 miles south of Cancun, near the town of Playa del Carmen, on the Riviera Maya. Known as the “Venice of the Caribbean”, the 401 exquisite rooms and suites at this exclusive AAA 5 Diamond and Rainforest Alliance Verified resort feature private entrances, spa style bathrooms and furnished balconies or terraces with views over the tropical forest, beautifully maintained gardens, pristine watercanals, or the azure Caribbean sea. Those who want to hit the greens will find fun and challenge at El Camaleón Golf Course (host to the PGA TOUR OHL Classic at Mayakoba); while those who want to improve their swing can book lessons at the Jim McLean Golf School.
