Banyan Tree Mayakoba: Lagoon Pool Villas on the Riviera Maya

Banyan Tree Mayakoba is woven through the lagoons, mangroves, and canals of the Mayakoba development on Mexico's Riviera Maya, its private-pool villas reached by boat or buggy along the waterways, opening onto a white-sand Caribbean beach and a championship golf course.

The dining is extensive: the signature Saffron Thai restaurant, the Mexican Cocina Corazón, the Tomahawk open-fire Latin grill, the pan-Asian Oriente, the Italian Cello, the La Copa terrace bar, two beach clubs (Sands and Sur), and a pool bar, alongside an award-winning Banyan Tree Spa.

For a Riviera Maya stay of villas, beach, and serious dining, Mayakoba is a standout.
