About this resort
Six miles of freshwater canals run through mangroves and lagoons at Alila Mayakoba, with flora and fauna on every side. This luxury beachfront resort sits inside Mexico's exclusive Mayakoba complex, only steps from the Caribbean Sea, and hosts romantic getaways and relaxing vacations as well as weddings. Conde Nast Traveler named it Best Resort in Mexico in 2020.
The guestrooms and suites draw on nature: open layouts, a palette of stone, sand and water, bright pops of color and refined Mayan decor, all flooded with natural light. Around the resort, colorful design celebrates Mayan artists and heritage, along with the culture of modern Mexico. Outside are an expansive white-sand beach, large pools, outdoor seating, bike and nature trails, eco-cruises through the lagoon and a large golf course, with the sights and sounds of Mexican nature around them.
Casa Amate, one of five places to eat, cooks Latin American food. Sotavento serves Mediterranean food with your feet in the sand, and the rest are an all-day international spot by the pool, Mexican dining at Tinta del Pulpo and market-to-table cooking at VB, which has spectacular views of the Caribbean. The cooking is gourmet and locally inspired, and it reflects the flavors of Mexico.
A barefoot ceremony on the beach, a celebration by the lagoon, a reception in the grand ballroom or a wedding in the chapel: the resort has a venue for each, across more than 14,000 square feet of versatile, uniquely configured event space. Expert planners customize every wedding. The resort handles traditional Mexican, contemporary and multicultural celebrations, with personalized service for you and your guests.
A gated community keeps the resort secluded and safe. The grounds are spread out but easy to get around, with room for leisurely walks, bike rides and social activities. Local staff keep your stay comfortable and personalized, and they hold to the highest cleanliness standards. For a personalized consultation, contact our wedding specialists.
