Overview

Grand Velas Riviera Maya is a swish all-inclusive resort that’s ideal for the discerning traveller. Float between the gorgeous beachfront, the phenomenal spa and gourmet dining venues – including one with a Michelin Star. Personalise your stay by choosing from three sections within the resort – the secluded Zen area, the beachfront Ambassador zone, or the adult-only Grand Class suites. Each section boasts its own pool, restaurants and unforgettable ambience. For children, there’s a fabulous kids’ club, so you can unwind in the spa while they’re having the time of their life.

Located near Playa del Carmen, Grand Velas Riviera Maya hugs a paradisical white sand beach. Although there’s nothing within walking distance here, Playa del Carmen is just six miles away. Here you’ll find shopping, nightlife and restaurants ranging from beachfront cafes to jungle-inspired Mexican eateries. Cancun International Airport is 33 miles from the hotel.

Rooms in the Zen section are for families and couples alike. Set apart from the beach, you’ll take a shuttle to get here, but be rewarded with a serene atmosphere, jungle views and a tranquil pool area. Families and beach lovers should opt for an Ambassador Suite. Situated right by the beach and the kids’ club, this location is the liveliest, complete with a sprawling pool area. For adults seeking sophistication, the Grand Class Suites are romantic and peaceful. Enjoy luxurious suites with spa-like bathrooms, private plunge pools and awe-inspiring ocean views. All rooms come with a Nespresso machine, a pillow menu, a bathtub and Molton Brown toiletries.
