As the cooler months approach, there’s no better time to start planning your escape to warmer climes.

This luxurious haven offers a seamless blend of nature and modern wellness, inviting guests to reconnect with their senses and escape the winter blues.

The Spa Design

The Spa at the Riviera Maya EDITION, set in the heart of a floating garden of mangroves, is more than just a retreat—it’s an experience designed to immerse you in the natural beauty and cultural richness of the region. The moment you arrive, you are welcomed by the soothing ambiance of natural materials that harmoniously merge with the lush greenery.

Modeled after the cenotes, natural sinkholes that are iconic to the region, The Spa’s design reflects these geographical wonders, offering a sanctuary where guests can experience a deep connection with nature. The spa features six private indoor-outdoor treatment rooms, three vitality pools, a full-service salon, a relaxation lounge, a Turkish Hammam, and state-of-the-art sauna and shower facilities. Each element is carefully curated to provide an unparalleled experience, targeting the limbic system to inspire ultimate relaxation.

One of the highlights of The Spa is its glass ceiling, offering a glimpse into the world above while showcasing a stunning rippling bamboo structure that serves as the resort’s dedicated yoga pavilion. This visual and spiritual centerpiece, designed by Michael Edmonds, bridges the indoor serenity with the vibrant outdoor environment, ensuring that the sense of calm extends throughout the property.
