La Casa de la Playa: An Art-Filled Beachfront Retreat With a Chef's Roster

La Casa de la Playa is the intimate, adults-oriented jewel of the Xcaret group on the Riviera Maya at Playa del Carmen, an art-filled beachfront hotel where Mexican craftsmanship meets the turquoise Caribbean. It is as much a culinary destination as a beach retreat.

The dining roster is extraordinary. ESTERO unites Mexican and Peruvian cuisine under celebrated chef Virgilio Martínez; TUCH DE LUNA is a love letter to Mexico from chef Martha Ortiz; CENTLI and LUMBRE explore maize and smoke under the Rivera-Río brothers; and the BODEGA mezcalería, a Sky Bar and a 24-hour Lobby Bar complete the offering.

For a gastronomic Riviera Maya beach stay, La Casa de la Playa is a benchmark.
