Mayakoba – meaning village over the water in Maya – is an extraordinary blend of Mexican culture and Asian hospitality. It is perfect for romantic getaways, family trips and groups of friend and offers a variety of private villas – from secluded Garden Villas to three Bedroom Beachfront Villas. All feature spacious and airy outdoor areas, private pools and unique layouts. Inspired by the courtyard houses of the Far East, each villa is discreetly built into the thoughtfully conserved landscape.

It is a premiere destination just 40 minutes south of Cancun and ten minutes north of lively Playa del Carmen. Mayakoba is an arcadia of indigenous fish and bird species and has a carefully maintained ecosystem. Nestled along the edge of the exotic Mayan jungle, Banyan Tree Mayakoba blends luxury, nature and serenity in harmony.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba is committed to creating a positive impact on the surrounding environment and the guests. They are EarthCheck Silver Certified, PROFEPA Tourism Environmental Quality Certified and a Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Standard-Setter Award winner.
