Coast-to-Coast Mexican Luxury with Rosewood
In Mexico, known by many as an easy-to-reach destination with knockout beaches and dime-a-dozen hotels, true luxury sets certain resorts apart—and our friends at Rosewood Hotels & resorts certainly understand the meaning of true luxury. . .

The idea behind Rosewood honors the story of remarkable places and creating connections, so in Mexico (and all around the world), they delve deep to learn the local culture and let that color the experience at their resorts.
Rosewood Mayakoba, located on Mexico’s Caribbean side, and Rosewood Mandarina, on the Pacific Coast, offer two distinctly luxurious options.
Rosewood Mayakoba
Riviera Maya, Mexico
A tropical oasis set between emerald jungle and pristine white-sand beaches, Rosewood Mayakoba is a private world of rare luxury and refined beauty. The hotel—with its 142 stylish suites and villas—recently won the Conde Nast Traveler World’s Best award for “Best Beach Resort.”
Located in the heart of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, Mayakoba lies along a stunning stretch of Caribbean beach and features a myriad of indulgent and recreational opportunities, including seven dining options; Sense, A Rosewood Spa®; El Camaleón Championship Golf Course; and an array of active and leisurely pursuits.
Mayakoba offers several experiences to elevate any stay, creating authentic and meaningful travel memories. In one such experience, visit K’iin Beh School & Foundation to join the children there for a fun, interactive gardening experience, forging a connection with the local community. For those seeking connection with nature, why not venture to one of the three onsite cenotes located within Mayakoba? Check out El Burrodromo for a firsthand look at the ancient cave’s community of bats, beautiful rock formations, and crystalline waters, which link to other cenotes on the Yucatan Peninsula. Food lovers may also wish to indulge in a private chef’s dinner in the resort’s lush gardens.
A journey to Rosewood Mayakoba is sure to captivate your soul, both with its staggering natural beauty and its seamless elegance.
Poe Travel guests, the Williamses, visited Mayakoba within the last couple of months, and they sent some sensational feedback after their stay. Here’s what they had to say. . .
“Another home run provided by the Poe Travel team! We lucked out in our villa location, privately tucked back from the cenote canal with no neighbors; very idyllic, all types of birds, iguanas, fish, and a small crocodile. Rosewood staff is exceptional, attentive, caring, and fun. Butler service was new to us, but we loved it. So did the butler, who was happily engaged in our humor, love, and general energy. The resort is flat beautiful—we never left—the dining is wonderful, and we spent more time at the spa than I thought possible. I thank you all for letting us in on the Rosewood secret.”
Rosewood Mandarina
Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
Only opened in May 2025, Rosewood Mandarina is the newest jewel in Rosewood’s shiny crown. Mandarina is located on Mexico’s Pacific coast, near Puerto Vallarta, on the luminous shores of Riviera Nayarit. Mandarina embodies the mystical powers of its ancient lands, evident even in the sounds of life in the surrounding jungle.
Set along pristine Canalan Beach, this brand-new property includes 134 suites showcasing the region’s diverse natural landscape. With five distinct bar and dining options, a private polo field, and an Asaya Spa, Mandarina invites you to discover captivating stories of the land.
Along with all the outdoor pursuits you could wish for—including jungle ziplining, hiking trails, mountain biking, tennis, archery, surfing, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving, and more—Mandarina's polo field offers something unique: seasonal polo matches and year-round horseback riding.
Many of the treatments available in the Asaya Spa honor the ancient wisdom of the Nayarit. Their Mara'akame Journey treatment, for example, is a 120-minute ritual deeply inspired by the Wixárika shaman’s pilgrimage, combining massage, breathwork, pressure points, and botanicals.
Foodies may wish to take part in a tortilla-making workshop to learn the art of making the famous flatbread so integral to Mexican culture, using native maíz and other locally sourced ingredients, with the Pacific Ocean as your impressive backdrop.
Rosewood Mandarina beckons you to connect deeply to the environment and revive a long-lost dialogue with nature itself.
