Rosewood Mayakoba

A cozy holiday season has a whole new meaning when it is spent at a private residence in the Riviera Maya’s crown jewel, Rosewood Mayakoba resort. Situated in a lush, 620-acre enclave of the luxury resort, a private residence is just the spot for Friendsgiving with a view or a beachfront family Christmas. Somewhere between the turkey and opening presents, you can fill your days with adventure, from water sports, golfing, tennis, and a kid’s club to immersion activities with nature, such as hiking, boating, cycling, or visiting a cenote.

Private residences range from two to six bedrooms, so there’s plenty of room to bring the whole crew. The newest beachfront private residence, The Founder’s Villa, is a rare opportunity to enjoy luxurious coastal living on one of Mexico’s most coveted beaches with complete privacy and exclusivity.

Set within the gates of Mayakoba yet strategically set apart as its own oceanfront oasis, The Founder’s Villa offers guests unparalleled luxury accommodations, sweeping views, as well as the full suite of Rosewood Mayakoba’s on-site services and amenities, including a signature butler program; Sense, A Rosewood Spa®; and award-winning dining destinations. Guests of The Founder’s Villa also enjoy exclusive benefits, including dedicated Rosewood staff, a personal golf cart, and access to all private beach clubs within Mayakoba.

This 16,300-square-foot, six-bedroom private estate offers an exceptional oceanfront sanctuary nestled between Mayakoba’s lush mangroves and the turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean. Anchored by an open-air courtyard and adorned with lush landscaping, the design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces that celebrate the villa’s natural environment and premier beachfront locale. The Founder’s Villa features dual primary suites with ocean-view outdoor showers, and four guest bedrooms, each with impressive ensuite bathrooms and private terraces, as well as a fully equipped kitchen, office, media room, ample living, and dining space, and an expansive outdoor sundeck complete with a 92-foot infinity pool and unobstructed views of the ocean. If this is the year you want to “go all out” for the holiday season, The Founder’s Villa checks off everything on your wish list.

Yo♥México & Rosewood Mayakoba’s 15-year anniversary

Inspired by love and respect for Mexican culture, Yo♥México is joyful celebration designed to highlight the country’s rich heritage and showcase everything that makes Mexico such an exceptional destination. This celebration focuses on gastronomy, wine and spirits, and craftsmanship. With a series of celebrations spanning two months, Rosewood Mayakoba’s guests participate in exclusive experiences, one-of-a-kind collaborations, and additional resort activities, all in support of Centro Educativo K’iin Beh, the bilingual nonprofit school established for local children in Playa del Carmen and supported by friends, guests, and associates of Rosewood Mayakoba.

The 2023 edition of Yo♥México coincides with Rosewood Mayakoba’s milestone 15th anniversary. This next edition of Yo♥México will welcome prestigious guests, each distinguished by their passion for and deep connection to Mexico. Events center around four key regions of Mexico:

Mexico’s Southern Pacific Coast, January 5-8

A celebration of color and culture that nods to Oaxaca, home of mezcal and a cradle of Mexican heritage, as well as Chiapas and Guerrero, known for their craftsmanship, regional cuisines, and pristine Pacific waters.

Mexican Riviera, January 12-15

A journey to Jalisco, a place of music and tequila, known as much for its blue agave fields as its reputation as the birthplace of mariachi. The Riviera also embraces Nayarit, a historic enclave nestled between mountains and ocean, celebrated for its coastal cuisine and Huichol and Cora influence.

Baja California, February 2-5

The storied Mexican Peninsula showcases sustainable seafood from the Sea of Cortez, wine from the renowned Mexican wine region, Valle de Guadalupe, and the diverse heritage of a land that welcomed migrants from all over the world, particularly East Asia and China.

Central Mexico, February 9-12

A tribute to Mexico City and the highlands of central Mexico, this region highlights a melting pot of history and heritage, in which pre-Hispanic cultures, Spanish settlement, and recent global influence blended to create a diverse yet authentically Mexican experience.
