Mexico’s newest luxury destination emerges in Riviera Maya, featuring three world-class resorts along the Caribbean coastline. Kanai spans 680 acres and sits against lush jungle and tranquil mangrove forests, as well as miles of white-sand beaches. In a bold reimagining of ecotourism, Kanai blends luxury with sustainability, allowing travelers to better appreciate the region’s environment and understand the importance of preserving it.

Last June, the property debuted a cenote-inspired spa. The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya, meanwhile, spans 124 guestrooms, suites and residences. This luxury property offers dramatic views, private terraces and plunge pools, a St. Regis Spa, signature Butler Service, curated culinary journeys, and more.
