Character and identity
Set within a 620-acre private reserve on the Yucatán coast, this 182-room EDITION is Ian Schrager's first Mexican property, designed in collaboration with Rockwell Group and Edmonds International. The architecture ripples outward from a central bamboo yoga deck, a nod to the Chicxulub asteroid impact, with Yucatecan limestone, hanging cenote-inspired plant installations and a lagoon-like central pool framing palm-lined paths to the Caribbean. Five dining venues include Ki'is from Francisco "Paco" Ruano and So'ol Beach Club from Tomás Bermúdez, both World's 50 Best alumni. The spa traces curved hallways past hydrotherapy pools, a hammam and six flower-named treatment rooms. Service runs polished and proactive.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and groups who want barefoot luxury with a serious culinary programme. The cenote-referencing architecture, lagoon pool, raised swim dock and mangrove setting reward guests who value chef-driven dining (Ki'is and So'ol in particular), spa time and a sense of place rooted in Mayan and Yucatecan culture.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers who want the buzz of Tulum town, a beach club scene, or a high-energy kids' programme should look further south. There's no dedicated kids' club mentioned, just connecting rooms and children's menus, and the secluded reserve setting means you're committed to the property.
Bottom line
The food is the headline here: two of Mexico's most decorated chefs cooking on one property, set against architecture and a mangrove reserve that genuinely feel of the Yucatán rather than imported. Book a suite with a plunge pool and mangrove or ocean view, time a stay around a Ki'is tasting menu, and treat the Sky Rooftop Villa as the multi-generational splurge it is.
