Banyan Tree Mayakoba is located on the famous Mexican coast of the Riviera Maya, within the private development of Mayakoba. The hotel carefully preserves the ecosystem formed by dunes, mangroves and freshwater lagoons, thus preserving a wide variety of native species of fish, birds and mammals. This luxury hotel has 154 villas that combine Asian architecture with Mexican charm. Each villa has its own garden with private heated pool and hot tub, furniture with Mayan-inspired touches, interactive TV, high speed Wi-Fi internet; and a private bathroom with a traditional Talavera shower and two sinks, as well as an outdoor shower and bathtub. Additionally, they provide access to the use of two complimentary bicycles. The facilities include several restaurants that serve everything from authentic Thai and Asian food to healthy eclectic dishes, a swimming pool, a children's club and several function rooms. The award-winning spa has different pavilions inspired by the beauty of the environment, some of them located above the water of the canals and others surrounded by gardens, with luxury equipment that includes a sauna, outdoor bath and rain shower; it also offers a complete experience in The Rainforest, a hydrothermal circuit that includes thermal cabins and eight different hydrothermal therapy experiences. This hotel offers a boat tour of the mangroves and access to the El Camaleón Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Greg Norman that is interwoven between jungle, dense mangroves and wide stretches of sand facing the ocean.
