Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets - Cancun

If you’re looking for luxury, limitless drinks and dining, and levelled-up design, then the adult-only Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets is for you. Four cliffside infinity pools provide far-reaching views of the sea and mainland Mexico in the distance, spacious all-suite accommodation can be upgraded for a private balcony Mayan tub, and seven restaurants and six bars are included in the generous all-inclusive plan.

Perched on the cliffside of the southwestern shores of Isla Mujeres, an island opposite Cancun, this resort is cleverly tiered – allowing for sea views from lots of the accommodation options and many of the resort facilities. From the resort, Punta Sur, a historic ecological park packed with Mayan ruins, trails and cliffs with epic views, is roughly half a mile away, or don your snorkel and visit the Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) which is also accessible from the southwest coast, where over 500 life-size sculptures can be explored underwater. Yacht transfers from and to Marina Hacienda del Mar dock on the mainland can be arranged for your arrival and departure with prior notice. From Marina Hacienda del Mar dock, Cancun International Airport is 13 miles south.

The whitewashed resort lobby features pale wooden floors and a unique starfish stone sculpture, leading to an arched walkway – framing the sea views visible from the main infinity pool ahead. All-suite accommodation is beautifully styled, with cooling white stone floors, white walls and off-white furnishings. Stone textured feature walls, rattan lampshades and warm wood furniture give dimension, as do the stone tiled bathrooms, some with dual sinks. Upgrade your suite to include a hot tub on the balcony, which appears to rise out of the ground – made from the same stone as the floor it would almost be at home on a Greek Cycladic Island. Signature Suites offer a little extra room and face out to Cancun, offering the best views. Paramount Suite Ocean Front accommodation features a six-person bar and second bathroom, while the Honeymoon Ocean View options feature a generous open-plan layout with warm beamed ceilings, a large bathroom with a Mayan tub behind the bed and a living area with sea views visible through the huge terrace doors. The resort’s gem is the two Presidential Suites. Covering over 300 m2, they feature a dining room, large separate living room and a vast terrace with a plunge pool, plenty of seating and a dining table.
