Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council recently launched a new campaign highlighting expansive luxury options in the Mexican Caribbean. Far more than just an affordable party destination, if you’ve been sleeping on this region’s luxury travel offerings, it’s time to sit up and take notice.
Nearly 20 resorts and hotels in the region received Michelin Keys, a recognition similar to Michelin stars, but for the hospitality industry. Stand-out 5-star resorts include Atelier Playa Mujeres and Banyan Tree Mayakoba.
For the first time ever, as of 2024, Mexico’s restaurants have received Michelin stars, including one-star designations for restaurants within the Mexican Caribbean like Cocina de Autor Riviera Maya, within Grand Velas Riviera Maya; Le Chique, in Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun in Puerto Morelos; and HA’, within Hotel Xcaret in Riviera Maya.
In Cancun, La Isla Shopping Village offers notable luxury names like Chanel and Hermès (though if you want to save on your luxury shopping, you’ll find great deals at the largest luxury outlet mall in Latin America, Grand Outlet Riviera Maya).
“Luxury is a deeply personal experience, and each of our destinations provide travelers the freedom to define luxury on their own terms, whether that means having the luxury of time, exclusivity or extraordinary experiences,” said Andres Martinez, director, Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council. “From designer shopping to pristine, white-sand beaches, cutting-edge spa treatments and globally recognized golf courses, the Mexican Caribbean is unlike any other luxury destination in the world, and our transformative offerings will provide lifelong memories for all who visit.”
