VICEROY RIVIERA MAYA

By Chris Boyle

 

Resort Pool

The Viceroy Riviera Maya is a serene, adults-only hideaway set on the turquoise waters of the Caribbean amid a lush jungle ambience.

Guests enjoy world-class amenities and personalized pampering at this recently renovated, all-villa luxury resort. The 41 intimate and private villas are beautifully appointed and feature a private patio, plunge pool and outdoor shower. La Marea serves refined Mexican cuisine accented with international flair, while the seaside Coral Grill prepares Mexican-Mediterranean dishes cooked on wood-burning grills. Mayan influences shape the guest experience, from the Mayan Blessing performed on arrival by the resort’s shaman to the Mayan healing techniques and traditions employed at the spa. A lagoon pool, private pier, library lounge, fitness center and traditional temazcal sweat lodge are among the Viceroy Riviera Maya’s many other pleasures.
