"Set on a white-sand beach, this tropical retreat invites guests to relax in spacious villas with private plunge pools and watch the Caribbean sunset while enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine."

Residential-style villas with private plunge pools make the Viceroy Riviera Maya an idyllic tropical escape. This award-winning beachfront hotel is surrounded by lush jungle and stunning ocean views, creating a feeling of seclusion from the outside world. Despite the feeling of being miles from the hustle and bustle of the city, the natural pools at Cenote Cristalino are a just 15-minute drive away, Xcaret Park is a 24-minute drive and Cancun International Airport is a 40-minute drive.

Each of the 41 tropical villas boasts a sun deck where you can cool off in the outdoor shower, or take a dip in your private heated plunge pool. Get lost in a good book while swaying in the hand-crocheted hammock, or gather around the hand-carved stone table to share an outdoor meal with your travel companions. Inside you will find luxurious Egyptian cotton linens, a Bose sound system and a movie library to help you wind down after a day of sun and sand. Upgraded villas come with butler service, deep soaking tubs and Nespresso machines, and some are available with direct access to the white sand beach.

Authentic Mexican cuisine and fresh ocean breezes await at Coral Grill & Bar, an open-air restaurant set beneath a thatched roof just steps from the shoreline. Watch the Caribbean sunset while dining at La Marea, where Mediterranean and Mexican flavours fill the innovative menu, or visit the Library Lounge to share stories over classic cocktails in a cosy setting. Guests interested in learning more about local cuisine are spoiled for choice: they can take part in tamale-making classes, participate in tequila and ceviche tastings or learn the secret to making the perfect guacamole and margaritas from the resort's culinary team.

Stay centred with yoga classes including Vinyasa and Ashtanga, take a stroll along the seven-mile white sand beach or visit the glass-walled fitness room to work out with state-of-the-art equipment in a lush rainforest setting. The treatment rooms at Wayak Spa boast stunning waterfall views to create a serene setting in which to enjoy traditional Mayan massage and body treatments featuring local ingredients. The resort pool is the perfect place to relax on a sunny day, and equipment including kayaks and snorkeling equipment are available for those looking to explore the turquoise Caribbean water.
