THE RITZ CARLTON RESIDENCES TO DEBUT IN MEXICO’S CARIBBEAN COAST
August 1, 2024
The Ritz-Carlton is set to make its entry into Mexico’s Caribbean coast with the planned opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Riviera Maya and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Riviera Maya. The resort and residences are situated among 220 acres of jungle and mangroves, and offer views of the Caribbean Sea and Yucatan coastline. The site offers 1,600 feet of private shoreline, ideal for swimming, reef snorkeling, paddle boarding and other water sports. Sales and construction will begin this year, and the first phase is expected to debut in 2026 with 29 residences and the Ritz-Carlton Riviera Maya resort. When completed, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya will consist of 127 furnished residences.
The Ritz-Carlton Riviera Maya will have 300 rooms and suites, four pools and The Lagoon—a family-friendly swimming area. Food and drink options will include Bonfire, showcasing grilled items; Sagrado, a traditional Mexican bakery and café, offering on-the-go options; Excursion Lounge, serving quick bites; The Farmhouse, a farm-to-table concept; Aldea, a minimalist, indigenous food market; and The Beach Club. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining at Restaurant Central—an open-air food hall with six venues, complete with an on-site distillery, wine cellar, and speakeasy. The resort will also include a Spa, Kids Club, Teens Club, and a sports club offering professional tennis and pickleball courts.
On the other hand, the Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya are being envisioned as a self-contained village, with 13 beachfront estates, 82 grand residences, and 32 mangrove cottages.
Owners will enjoy exclusive experiences including a private concierge, in-residence chef, on demand personal shopper, on-site childcare services, tailored fitness training, in-residence spa treatments, and exclusive access to The Catamaran Club, a residents-only beachfront enclave.
The site is located 45 minutes away from Cancún International Airport, and an hour away from Tulum’s recently opened international airport.
