Viceroy Riviera Maya.

Viceroy Riviera Maya functions more like a collection of private compounds than a traditional hotel. Located on Xcalacoco Beach, the adults-only resort consists of 41 freestanding villas tucked into seven acres of dense tropical rainforest. The layout prioritizes seclusion; each thatched-roof villa features its own plunge pool, an outdoor shower, and a private sun deck. Jungle paths connect the accommodations, and guests often share the canopy with resident spider monkeys. The design balances minimalist luxury with Yucatán influences, beginning with a shaman-led arrival ritual. Beyond the villas, the experience centers on a beachfront pool and the Wayak Spa, which utilizes Mayan traditions like temazcal sweat lodges. While the shoreline offers white sand and a scenic pier for yoga, the resort’s atmosphere remains rooted in the quiet, shaded privacy of the jungle.
