The Caribbean coastline welcomes its first EDITION property as The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai emerges within a 620-acre nature reserve in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. This luxurious resort redefines relaxation, blending the distinctive hospitality of EDITION with the rich culture of the region.

Nestled in the Kanai luxury resort community, the property seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, featuring mangroves, lagoons, and two miles of pristine white-sand beachfront. Designed by hotelier Ian Schrager in collaboration with Marriott International, The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai embodies a new standard of laidback extravagance.

The resort thoughtfully rises amid mangroves and tropical flora, embracing the Mayan concept of the universe, reflecting a harmonious blend of the heavens, the earth, and the magical realm below. As guests approach, a timber-covered structure emerges, appearing to rise from the forest, creating a seamless connection with the environment.

Three main buildings converge in the architectural equivalent of a cenote, a natural sinkhole believed by the Mayans to connect to the underworld. The undulating walls mimic the seismic ripple from an ancient asteroid, providing guests with a journey of discovery and wonder at every turn.

The property boasts 182 guestrooms, including 30 suites, offering stunning views of the ocean or mangroves. Each room features a four-poster bed, bespoke lighting, and a curved sofa, creating a serene oasis. The Sky Rooftop Villa, the largest hotel penthouse in North America, showcases unmatched ocean views, an outdoor infinity pool, and expansive entertainment space.

The resort’s culinary experiences are curated by award-winning chefs Francisco “Paco” Ruano and Tomás Bermúdez. KI’IS, the signature restaurant, offers a modern Mexican dining experience inspired by regional flavors. SO’OL, the beach club restaurant, focuses on seafood with Mediterranean influence. Kitchen at EDITION presents an all-day dining experience, and the Pool Bar offers a health-conscious menu.

The Spa, echoing cenote-inspired architecture, features hydrotherapy pools, a Turkish hammam, and six indoor-outdoor treatment rooms. The resort’s commitment to sustainability is evident, with less than 10% of the 620-acre reserve developed.

For business events, The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai offers a Ballroom nestled amidst mangroves, accommodating up to 450 guests. Additionally, three smaller studios cater to private board meetings.

The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai is a symphony of laidback luxury, where nature, culture, and personalized hospitality converge in a breathtaking coastal haven. The establishment is now open in preview.
