Palafitos Overwater Bungalows are Mexico’s answer to the Maldives. Suspended over the calm, jewel-toned waters of Maroma Beach, these adult-only bungalows are pure indulgence. Each is beautifully designed with an oversized deck, a private infinity pool and a ladder straight into the ocean – your own stairway to the sea. The wooden jetty stretches out onto shore, connecting you to everything the neighbouring El Dorado Maroma hotel has to offer – from glass-bottomed gourmet restaurants and bars by the water’s edge, to the Mayan-inspired spa. Palafitos Overwater Bungalows are the perfect choice for couples or anyone looking for the ultimate upscale escape.
Pinned to the shores of Maroma Beach, you’ll find powder-white sands stretching as far as the eye can see. Situated along Mexico’s famous Riviera Maya, Maroma is ranked among the world’s top ten beaches. The vibrant coastal town of Playa del Carmen, known for its bustling Quinta Avenida lined with shops, restaurants and bars, sits just 11 miles away. While the more tranquil fishing village of Puerto Morelos, is 14 miles south-west. Stroll its charming town square or hunt for treasures in the local markets. The lazy underground rivers and enchanting archaeological vestiges of Xcaret also lie just six miles on from Playa del Carmen. Cancun International Airport is located approximately 26 miles away.
These stunning bungalows blend natural elegance with modern luxury, and every detail is designed to dazzle. The interiors feature warm wood accents and neutral colour palettes of cream and fawn, with pops of ocean-inspired aquamarine. Underfoot, glass panels offer a glimpse at the waters and marine life below. Expansive windows and doors open out onto your own private terrace featuring a breezy breakfast area and a mini-lounge – shimmering sea views guaranteed. The sleek marble bathrooms come outfitted with an aromatherapy shower and premium toiletries. While luxe amenities, like a 70-inch smart TV, a Nespresso machine and a minibar (stocked with your favourite treats), keep you feeling right at home.
