Situated in the serene gated community of Kanai, less than an hour south of Cancun, The Riviera Maya Edition has become a luxurious haven on the Riviera Maya. Following the openings of Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection, and The St. Regis Kanai, Edition is the latest hospitality brand to establish a presence on this 680-acre stretch of Caribbean coastline.
The resort offers a signature modern aesthetic, luxury amenities, and a deep immersion into Maya culture and tradition. The entrance to Kanai, marked by two miles of white-sand beaches and protected mangroves, sets the stage for the tranquil atmosphere of the resort. A winding three-mile drive through mangroves leads to the lobby, surrounded by reflecting pools and panoramic water views.
Guest rooms and suites, designed with an earthy color palette, natural materials, and handwoven textiles, provide spacious accommodations. Options include rooms with ocean and mangrove views, some equipped with private plunge pools. Notably, the Sky Rooftop Villa, spanning 27,000 square feet, stands as one of the largest hotel suites in North America, featuring five suites, private plunge pools, a jacuzzi, an 80-foot-long infinity pool, and more than 10,000 square feet of exterior space.
Mexican chefs Francisco “Paco” Ruano and Tomás Bermúdez lead the resort’s culinary program. KI’IS, the signature restaurant, offers modern Mexican flavors with a focus on fresh seafood and local ingredients. SO’OL, the beach club's eatery, presents eastern Mediterranean flavors with a Mexican twist, and Kitchen, the all-day restaurant, serves classic Mexican and Yucatán dishes.
The resort's spa, which draws inspiration from the area's cenotes, offers a tranquil retreat with hydrotherapy pools, a Turkish hammam, an infrared room, and six treatment rooms, including a couple's suite. Amidst the luxury amenities and breathtaking views, The Riviera Maya Edition at Kanai stands as a testament to the harmony between modern luxury and authentic Maya culture.
