Banyan Tree Mayakoba – March 2009
Mayakoba, an exclusive village-style resort haven, has recently opened on a pristine stretch of land between Playa Del Carmen and Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Banyan Tree Mayakoba, one of four new resorts, will bring a touch of exotic luxury to the location as the only all pool villa resort in the Maya Riviera. It will blend Mexican flavour and style with Banyan Tree’s renowned Asian influences. The 132 free standing villas all include private pools, outdoor jet-pools, meditation pavilions and spacious poolside terraces. Outdoor spa pavilions line the lagoon and Banyan Tree’s signature Saffron restaurant hovers over a free form pool. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy a game at the Greg Norman-designed championship golf course and beach lovers can soak up the sun on Banyan Tree’s 1km private beach and club.
The resort is surrounded by lush tropical mangroves, natural low jungle, reefs and rich diverse wildlife which will all be protected by Banyan Tree’s conservation efforts. Each area of the resort will be seamlessly connected by the natural freshwater canals and lagoons and visitors will be transported by thatched roof boats.
For those wanting to explore, the Riviera Maya offers the world’s second largest coral reef, shimmering beaches, lush jungles and ancient ruins. Key attractions for those interested to learn more about the native culture and natural landscape include archaeological treasures and Mayan Civilisation ruins such as Tulum, Coba & Chichen Itza (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
