1. Overview of Fairmont Mayakoba’s Renovation
Fairmont Mayakoba now features a sophisticated new beach club along with two additional restaurants, complementing its recently redesigned rooms and suites.
2. Renovation Highlights
Following a multimillion-dollar renovation commencing in February 2021, Fairmont Mayakoba, a luxury hotel in the Mayakoba community within Mexico’s Riviera Maya, is excited to welcome guests back with updated accommodations and several new spaces, perfectly timed for the upcoming holiday season.
3. New Beach Club Experience
The waterfront resort now boasts one of the finest and largest beach clubs in the region, complete with five dining options inspired by the five elements. It features an infinity pool with five cabanas and an adults-only rooftop adorned with sunken fire pits that overlook the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
4. Unique Design Philosophy
According to Luis Yunta, interior design director for Room 1804, the beach club’s design draws inspiration from Mayan culture, with elements that resemble the cenotes typical of the Yucatán Peninsula. This unique aesthetic is woven into the natural beauty of the area, incorporating rich blues reminiscent of the region’s stunning aquatic features.
5. Enhanced Guest Accommodations
In the renovated rooms and suites, Yunta’s team utilized a neutral color palette enhanced by vibrant blues to mirror the resort’s scenic allure. The tropical essence of the destination, characterized by swaying palm trees and pristine white sands, significantly influenced the overall color scheme.
6. Culinary Delights
The resort has also introduced two new restaurant experiences. La Laguna, situated at the center of the property and overlooking the tranquil Mayakoba water canals, celebrates Mexican culture through its colorful decor and traditional cuisine. Meanwhile, Bassano serves chic Italian dishes centered around three key ingredients: eggs, flour, and water, specializing in delectable pizzas and pasta offerings.
7. Refreshing Amenities
Returning guests will notice that Hix, the property’s signature lobby bar, has undergone a sophisticated transformation, now featuring an extensive terrace overlooking the canal, tasteful furnishings, and an inviting atmosphere enhanced by nature-inspired elements.
8. Commitment to Cultural Heritage
Fairmont Mayakoba is dedicated to honoring the Mayan community, and its renovation reflects this commitment through the materials used and the exceptional services, amenities, and activities available to guests. Moreover, the property participates in Accor’s exclusive “Beyond Limits” experiences program, which offers unique cultural events and activities.
For instance, guests can partake in the “Symphony in a Cenote” experience, which allows them to enjoy a private musical event within one of the local cenotes, complete with Champagne and dinner at La Laguna.
