About this listing

The St. Regis and EDITION Resort Kanai serves as a premier destination for the 2025 Passover season. Hosted by Diamond Club, this exclusive program brings together two of the world’s most prestigious hotel brands within the private Kanai development of the Riviera Maya. Guests can expect a secluded, five-diamond experience where modern luxury meets the raw beauty of Mexico's Caribbean coast. The resort is designed to provide an intimate atmosphere, with the St. Regis Luxe Tower and the EDITION resort reserved specifically for program participants.

Set against a backdrop of protected mangroves and white sand beaches, the property emphasizes a connection to nature. Much of the surrounding landscape remains in its original state, offering a peaceful retreat from the busier tourist corridors of Playa del Carmen. This location is designed for those seeking a high-end Pesach experience that combines meticulous religious observance with world-class hospitality and gastronomy.

About the area

Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Kanai is a gated luxury community situated just north of Playa del Carmen. The area is characterized by its unique geography, where the jungle meets the sea. While the resort feels like a private island, it is conveniently located for those traveling from international hubs. Cancun International Airport is the primary gateway for guests, located less than an hour's drive from the gates of Kanai.

The Jewish presence in the Riviera Maya has grown significantly over the last decade. Playa del Carmen and nearby Tulum are home to established Chabad centers and small but vibrant Jewish communities. While the Kanai resort operates as a self-contained environment for the Passover holiday, its proximity to Playa del Carmen ensures that guests are near the regional center of Jewish life in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Nearby Jewish landmarks

Positioned within the Kanai enclave, the resort offers immediate access to a two-mile stretch of white sand beach. This coastal area is famous for its proximity to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world. Travelers can explore vibrant underwater ecosystems or enjoy the tranquility of the 620-acre nature reserve that surrounds the property.

For those looking to explore the wider Riviera Maya, several notable sites are within driving distance:

The ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum, perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Playa del Carmen’s Fifth Avenue (Quinta Avenida), a pedestrian thoroughfare offering shopping and local culture.

Chabad of Playa del Carmen, which serves as a central hub for the Jewish community and visitors in the region.

Various eco-parks and cenotes, provide unique opportunities for swimming in natural limestone sinkholes.

What to expect

Guests participating in the Passover 2025 program can expect a seamless integration of luxury and tradition. The culinary program is a focal point, lead by the Michelin-recognized culinary team of the St. Regis and Executive Chef Donny Rogoff. All dining is prepared under strict Glatt Kosher, Chalav Yisroel, and Chalak Bet Yosef standards. Meals are paired with a curated selection of fine kosher wines and premium spirits, ensuring that the holiday’s festive meals are of the highest caliber.

Beyond the dining room, the resort experience focuses on relaxation and spiritual growth. The program includes organized minyanim and communal activities suited for families and individuals. The physical architecture of the EDITION and St. Regis resorts provides expansive views of the turquoise water, with many rooms offering direct sightlines to the ocean. With two miles of beach frontage and a commitment to preserving the local environment, the resort offers ample space for quiet reflection or outdoor recreation throughout the Chol HaMoed days.
