About

A sanctuary for the senses, Banyan Tree Mayakoba welcomes you to the essential Banyan Tree experience, in a resort that provides a joyful habitat for the spirit. It is a place where ancient civilizations embrace each other and where the passionate nature of Mexico is soothed by the gentle touch of the Far East.

In the ancient Maya language, Mayakoba means village over water. Banyan Tree Mayakoba is true to this definition, surrounded by lagoons, mangroves and bordered by the sea. A resort for the renewal of both mind and body, it gathers those who come under the leafy shelter of the Banyan, an endemic tree of the Orient thought to be magical in its power to nurture.

The Resort

Banyan Tree Mayakoba is a site of almost mythical beauty. It flawlessly blends elegance and nature, taking the Caribbean lifestyle to an unprecedented new height.

A breathtaking sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, romance and world-class dining, it is also the region's most sustainable five-star resort.

As the first Banyan Tree resort in the Americas, Mayakoba's revitalized culinary concepts, Thai-inspired therapies at the Banyan Tree Spa, 14 event-venues and the Greg Norman signature 18-hole El Camaleón golf course, home to the PGA Tour Mayakoba Classic, all combine to raise the bar for premium leisure options and event planning.
Perfect for private getaways, family trips and group events, the Banyan Tree Mayakoba offers 121 villas, ranging from romantic Bliss and Serenity Pool Villas to Family Residences and Ocean Front Villas. All include outdoor areas with private pools and terraces. Inspired by the interior courtyards of houses in the Far East, each villa is discreetly built to blend with the landscape, integrating the interiors and their idyllic surroundings.
