Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Hugging the coast where the Caribbean Sea meets the Yucatán jungle, Grand Velas Riviera Maya takes you beyond all-inclusive. Savor gourmet cuisine from renowned chefs, bring balance to body and mind with treatments in their holistic Spa and unwind in suites with private terraces, plunge pools and uninhibited water views.
You’ll have plenty to choose from while relaxing in paradise. Find refuge on the white sand beach or lounge by the infinity pool, paired with attentive service from the concierge. Schedule a massage in the comfort of your suite or spend the day at SE Spa, a calming sanctuary pampering you with rejuvenating skin therapies, soothing massages and ancient holistic rituals that restore and renew. For more high energy activities, join an exciting excursion to explore lush jungles, underwater caves or Mayan ruins, or grab a drink at one of the vibrant lounges. Once you work up an appetite, tempt yourself with an array of gourmet cuisine curated by renowned chefs from around the world. Savor decadent French dishes, share an authentic, Italian-style meal or let the exotic jungle ambiance take you away at Chaka, an open-air restaurant serving a fusion of natural, healthy international meals. This is luxury re-defined.
