Viceroy Riviera Maya occupies a stretch of jungle and white-sand beach at Playa Xcalacoco, just north of Playa del Carmen on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. The resort is adults-only and works on an intimate scale, with the entire property made up of just 41 villas spread among the rainforest.
Every villa is residential in feel and comes with a private plunge pool, sunbathing deck, and outdoor shower. Aromatherapy from native trees is built into the turndown service and Egyptian cotton linens cover the bedding.
Wellness is the headline. The Wayak Spa pulls from ancient Mayan traditions, with a temazcal ceremony on site, a steam-based ritual using volcanic stones and traditional herbs, led by a Maák Bacab. Two restaurants, Coral and La Marea, cover the dining side, with private cooking sessions on Yucatán cuisine and a private cenote experience available 35 minutes away.
Two alfresco restaurants cover the dining side. Coral Restaurant + Bar is the two-tier daytime venue, with international and Mexican breakfasts and a seafood-heavy lunch and dinner menu. La Marea takes over at night with traditional Mexican cooking in an inventive register, served at the water’s edge.
Culinary experiences include tequila and ceviche tastings led by an in-house Tequila Maestro, mezcal and taco pairings, tamale cooking lessons, and Mexican wine flights.
Wayak Spa is the wellness centerpiece, built around ancient Mayan healing traditions and set within the jungle. The treatment menu pulls in native herbs from the Riviera Maya forest, with massages, facials, and energy therapies the core categories.
The fitness center is in the rainforest with full equipment, plus yoga classes including Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Chakra, alongside meditation programs, circuit training, and bodywork.
The resort sits on Playa Xcalacoco, a stretch of beach in Solidaridad municipality, around 10 minutes north of Playa del Carmen and 45 minutes south of Cancún International Airport. The villas occupy thick rainforest directly on the Caribbean.
Tulum is around an hour south, with the Mayan archaeological sites of Cobá, Chichén Itzá, and Tulum all within driving distance, and a private cenote experience available 35 minutes from the property.
The Luxury Villa is the entry-level category at 1,000 square feet, set within the jungle vegetation. A private plunge pool sits on the terrace, with the surrounding rainforest providing seclusion from neighboring villas.
Italian linen bathrobes, a pillow butler on call, and the standard aromatherapy turndown service come as part of the booking. A natural starting point at the resort for guests prioritizing privacy and the jungle setting.
The Signature Villa steps up to 1,400 square feet of living space, set on the edge of the Mayan jungle. The configuration suits couples wanting a more generous footprint without committing to oceanfront positioning.
Private plunge pool, outdoor shower, and the same aromatherapy and butler service standard apply. The right middle category for guests staying multiple nights.
The Premium Villa covers over 1,700 square feet within the jungle, with the beach a short walk away. The standalone setting works for guests wanting maximum privacy with easy beach access.
A solid choice for romantic getaways or longer stays where the jungle setting becomes the daily backdrop rather than a one-night novelty.
The Ocean View Villa covers 1,700 square feet of total living space, close to the beach with direct views of the Caribbean coastline.
The right category for guests who want a sea outlook without the immediate beachfront positioning of the top-tier villas, with the same villa-level privacy and amenities throughout.
The Beachfront Villa is positioned directly on the white sand, with sweeping sea views from the 1,700 square feet of living space. A Majordomo (Butler) handles requests through the stay, with nightly aromatherapy sessions, a pillow menu, and soap concierge service rounding out the program.
The top-tier category for guests wanting the beach as the front door rather than a short walk from the villa.
