Property Highlights

Luxury Beach

With a backdrop of sheer white sand and the shimmering Caribbean Sea, the hotel's Sands Beach Club offers an outstanding and luxurious experience on the pristine Mayakoba Beach. Luxuriate atop your plush sun lounger beneath the glorious sun, or head to the beachfront restaurant to enjoy the freshest seafood, authentic Mexican specialities and delicious cocktails. Twice a year, children have the opportunity to complete the awe-inspiring, educational and crucial task of releasing baby turtles into the sea, watching from the shore as they swim towards freedom. Truly once-in-a-lifetime, they will never forget the role they played in the conservation of these fascinating creatures.

Treatments restore physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing while uplifting and awakening the soul. The Rainforest treatments, unique to Banyan Tree, are innovative holistic remedies combining a hydrothermal circuit entwined with hot and cold thermal cabins, where guests can embark on the Rainforest Trail, weaving through eight different hydrothermal therapy stations, from steam chambers to ice fountains. Truly unique and blissful.

Golf

Golfers will marvel at the terrain of the 18-hole El Camaleon golf course designed by the Australian professional golfer, Greg Norman and the challenge its terrain presents (the par 3s earning the greatest praise). El Camaleon has three, very different, eco-systems and players are led through jungle and mangroves, then faced with open-cave obstacles and the water's edge and sandy beach, which are only a swing away. Misjudge the proximity of your surroundings and you'll lose your golf balls to the depths of a canal or the Caribbean Sea!

One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza is a must-see complex of Mayan ruins, housing the striking El Castillo pyramid.

Scuba Diving

The Mayakoba region offers superb diving opportunities, in particular around the area of Cozumel, with its world-famous cenotes (underwater caves), year-round warm waters and diving visibility of up to two-hundred metres. Banyan Tree Mayakoba does not have on-site diving facilities, but with such unmissable treats to be found only a little way away, it is well worth leaving the resort for. Allow staff to organise an unforgettable diving trip to Cozumel and you won't be disappointed.
