Don't Just Stay in the Riviera Maya, Actually Do It All
Written by Mony Figueroa
There's a version of a Riviera Maya trip that most people know and love: the beautiful villa stay. You know the one we're talking about, that no-agenda full of joy time with a private pool and turquoise views. And that version is genuinely wonderful, we all love it.
But at some point, you're ready for something more. You are right at the Riviera, so you want to see it all, discover the culture, the food, and the places; you want to do everything beyond resting at your beautiful villa.
If that sounds like you, well, hang tight, because this article is for you.
The Riviera Maya is home to some of the most out-of-this-world experiences, and staying just inside your villa could actually mean missing out on memories that get passed down through generations and remembered for the rest of your days. Imagine seeing whale sharks the size of school buses, sea turtles hauling themselves onto the sand at night, cenotes so clear you'd have a hard time making a photo do them justice, or bioluminescence turning the water into a lighting spectacle unlike anything you've ever seen.
These aren't tourist attractions. They're the kind of things that make a trip unforgettable in a way no hotel could ever arrange for you. And that's exactly the thinking behind the Maya Luxe packages.
Every package starts with 5 nights at a participating villa and layers in the kind of experiences that turn a great trip into the one your group is still talking about three years from now. And because the region changes with the seasons, so do the packages. What's available in June is not what's available in November, and that's not a limitation, that's the whole point.
Here's what the packages look like in practice:
IN-VILLA WELLNESS PACKAGE
From $5,500 USD · 5 nights
For the trip where the whole point is to do absolutely nothing and do it properly. Two full 80-minute massages in the privacy of your villa, with a dedicated curator and a 24/7 host taking care of everything else. No agenda and no leaving unless you feel like it.
Includes: villa stay · experience curator · 24/7 host · 2 full-body massages
WANDER BEYOND PACKAGE
From $8,725 USD · 10 people
For groups who want the villa as their base and at least one experience that gets them out into the region. Choose between the Dream Mayan Jungle or a Cozumel Island adventure, plus roundtrip airport transportation in a sprinter so the trip starts and ends just as smoothly as the days in between.
Includes:
Villa Stay · Curator · 24/7 Host · Airport Transfer · 1 adventure of your choice
ALL-INCLUSIVE VILLA STAY
From $7,150 USD · 10 people
All the privacy of a villa with all the ease of an all-inclusive. A full meal plan is built into your stay so breakfast, lunch and dinner are handled before you even think to ask, and the only thing left to decide is where you want to eat it.
Includes:
Villa Stay · Curator · 24/7 Host · Full Meal Plan
BUCKET LIST PACKAGE
From $18,755 USD · 10 people
This one is for the trip you've been putting off. A VIP villa stay paired with access to the region's most coveted experience, swimming with whale sharks. The Mayan Jungle and Cozumel are also on the table, but the whale sharks tend to win and honestly, you're already here.
Includes:
VIP Villa Stay · Curator · 24/7 Host · Airport Transfer ·
Whale Shark or Adventure Experience
PRIVATE YACHT PACKAGE
From $31,500 USD · 10 people
A private villa and a private yacht, because while you're at it, why not do both. Four hours on a 43' Azimut or a 40' Bali Catamaran with the Caribbean entirely to yourselves. There's really not much to add to that.
Includes:
VIP Villa Stay · Curator · 24/7 Host · 4hr Private Yacht
(43' Azimut or 40' Bali Catamaran)
