Mayakoba

History & Vision

The Story of Mayakoba

The story of Mayakoba is entirely unique, serving as a global example of what can come from one unified, inspired vision. The founding principles of the community—a deep respect for the environment and appreciation of the Mayan culture—resonate in each experience and architectural choice. The four resorts showcase distinct personalities yet complement one another while preserving the landscape and local traditions.

A Commitment to Sustainability

Recognized worldwide for its environmentally sensitive design, Mayakoba has ensured that 145 acres of mangrove area remain untouched to preserve wildlife habitat. A team of biologists on staff works to rehabilitate the coral reef and preserve the marine turtle population. These efforts have earned Mayakoba the Ulysses Prize for “Responsible Tourism Development” from the U.N. World Tourism Organization. Read More

Enlightened by Mayan Traditions

Mayan traditions are incorporated into the ancient rituals and treatments offered at the four on-site resort spas. Local flavors enliven the culinary creations served at the community’s 26 restaurants. The mission-style architecture of El Pueblito town square inspires a truly authentic, community-driven Mexican experience. Explore El Pueblito
