The time has finally come: Alila Mayakoba is now open on Mexico’s dreamy Riviera Maya.
Alila Mayakoba, a points hotel that has excited us since it was first announced last year, is replacing the previously acclaimed Andaz resort. Last January, Hyatt said Andaz would undergo a year-long renovation before announcing it would be rebranded as Alila, a brand focused on sustainability, local culture and experiences.
Alila Mayakoba is now open, marking the brand’s entry into Latin America and the Caribbean.
Located slightly north of Playa del Carmen, this 60-acre hotel has 182 rooms, suites and villas, including rooms with plunge pools and even multi-level accommodations. If you really need space, the 4,574-square-foot Presidential Suite has three bedrooms, one with a private terrace and hot tub.
There are six bars and restaurants on site, including the return of Casa Amte, a fine-dining restaurant that existed when the hotel was an Andaz Hotel, a taqueria offering an intimate chef’s table dining experience, a beach club serving local comfort food, and more.
For Alila, health is always a priority, and Alila Spa offers treatments rooted in Mayan tradition. There are also modern fitness facilities and a variety of complimentary experiences such as yoga and breathing classes, spiritual rituals and holistic fitness programs. Paid experiences include fire ceremonies, bike tours, and even a ceremony that will take you to a hidden cenote to connect with yourself and the earth.
