Nestled along the stunning coastline of the Yucatán Peninsula, the resort development of Mayakoba blends harmoniously with the region's rich ecosystems. Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, lush jungle, and winding lagoons, the complex features four unique resorts, all connected by meandering canals and scenic trails. At its heart is Rosewood Mayakoba, a sumptuous retreat of natural beauty, elegant design, and exceptional service. To stay here is to enjoy the very best of the region. And to stay within one of its ultra-luxurious private residences is to further elevate an already decadent experience.
Whether planning an adults-only retreat with friends or a memorable family escape, Rosewood Mayakoba Private Villas offer unparalleled, elevated amenities hosted by a resort team that could easily conduct classes in the art of hospitality. Staff is devoted to delivering personalized, bespoke service, catering to individual preferences and offering tailor-made experiences based on guest interest. Case in point: During my Rosewood Mayakoba visit, staff had taken note of my love of wine, and concluded that I might enjoy an introduction to some of the country’s best wines. Thus, wine director Alejandro Bru conducted a private wine tasting for me and my husband of varied Mexican varietals. Ultra-special, and unexpected, this tasting was the definition of “being seen.” (Particular favorites were a Piscis Rosé Grenache, and a Casa Madero Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon.)
Rosewood Mayakoba’s villa choices include Beachfront and Lagoon locales, or the coastal living majesty of the ultra-private Founder’s Villa. Each provides a serene and peaceful ambiance, amongst the natural beauty of the emerald lagoons or the Caribbean Sea. Here, every comfort is within reach and every dream feels effortlessly attainable. Villa guests have options; they can immerse fully in the peace and tranquility of their private quarters, while also enjoying all of the resort amenities, such as the beautiful Sense, A Rosewood Spa, and the resort’s varied restaurants.

Of all of its spectacular villas, the pièce de resistance is The Founder’s Villa—16,300 square feet of pure indulgence.

It is anchored by an open-air courtyard with lush landscaping; the design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. The large outdoor sundeck features a 92-foot infinity pool and unobstructed views of the ocean. A fully equipped kitchen, a media room, generous living and dining space, and dedicated, signature butler service, allow groups of up to 14 guests flow through carefree days and inspired evenings in uncrowded luxury and pampered ease.
Founder's Villa guests also enjoy exclusive benefits including a dedicated chef and servers, personal golf carts, transfers to and from the Cancun airport, access to all restaurants and bars, fitness centers, Sense, A Rosewood Spa, El Camaleón golf course, and kids clubs within Mayakoba.
Whichever villa you choose, each offers an unparalleled experience in luxury, privacy, and personalized service. Imagine the following:
Begin your day with a thoughtfully curated, chef-led, in-villa breakfast served on the outdoor terrace featuring a spread of Mexican specialties alongside your favorite continental items. Immerse yourself in the rich and diverse wildlife of Mayakoba with a private eco-tour taking off from your private dock. In the afternoon, participate in a chef-led cooking class in your Villa with menus inspired by Mexico’s diverse culinary traditions. Pair your self-made feast with with Mexican wines. If you’re in a Beachfront Villa, enjoy beachside cocktails and music within your private cabana. In the evening, take a refreshing swim in your secluded pool before gathering with crafted cocktails to watch the setting sun. Commemorate milestone events (anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) with a special private in-villa celebration prepared by your butler, complete with live music (mariachi, DJ, or other preference), food & drink, and festive décor.
Any visit to Rosewood Mayakoba is indulgent. A stay within one of its spectacular villas takes your stay to the next level.
