The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai

Set within Kanai, a 620‑acre nature reserve near Playa del Carmen, The Riviera Maya EDITION rises from mangroves to a long sweep of white sand and Caribbean light. Mexico’s first EDITION keeps the look crisp and contemporary while nodding to Yucatán textures; rooms and suites are oriented for sea views and typically open to terraces, with some adding plunge pools. The resort centres on a lagoon-like main pool inspired by cenotes, with floating cabanas, a shallow sun shelf and hammocks tucked among palms. Dining is a key part of the stay, from modern Mexican at KI’IS by Francisco Ruano to the SO’OL Beach Club reached via a palm-lined boardwalk, where an oceanfront infinity pool and open grill set the pace. A full spa adds vitality pools, sauna and salon, and there’s a well-equipped fitness centre, meeting space, and a dedicated sustainability program led by an in-house biologist. Pets are accepted (one per room, with limits), and parking is complimentary.
