On a picture-perfect strip of Mexico’s Yucatán, facing onto a mile of sugar-soft sand lapped by warm Caribbean waters, Rosewood Mayakoba is a smooth-lined, suite-only vision of architectural loveliness, created in pale stone and steel, that brings seriously special luxury to this already spectacular corner of the world. Its beach-level design flows seamlessly from seafront infinity pool to wide sun-bleached decks and sand, and pulls off the near impossible: perfectly blending its contemporary looks with the pristine natural habitat. In fact here the only limit is your imagination as there’s a veritable feast of diversions awaiting.

Watersports enthusiasts are particularly well-served here; while on land you’ll find horse-riding, yoga, the beautiful Senses Spa and the 18-hole, Greg Norman-designed, El Camaleon golf course. Youngsters will be fantastically entertained too with sandcastle building, piñata-making and nature walks all par for the course at the Rose Buds kids' club; and by night you can choose to dine lagoon-side, or beachfront, washing down European and Mexican fare with fine wines… and perhaps a tequila or two?
