Banyan Tree Mayakoba

Banyan Tree Mayakoba sits off the Carretera Federal Chetumal, directly against the coastline of the Riviera Maya. The property spans a stretch of beachfront south of the main town, positioning its guests a ten-minute walk from the Mayakoba Golf Course and the fairways at El Camaleón.

Most resorts in this part of the coast lean toward high-density clusters, but the layout here prioritizes the private beach and the seclusion of the surrounding mangroves. While the neighbouring properties compete for proximity to the central Playa del Carmen strip, this hotel draws those who prefer the quiet of the fairway over the noise of the beach clubs. It is dressier than the typical coastal hotel, trading the standard resort open-air lobby for a more contained, intimate register that feels purposeful rather than sprawling.
