PB hotel design editorial

Carved from 240 acres of Yucatán jungle, lagoon, and Caribbean beachfront along the Riviera Maya, the Mayakoba estate was conceived as an ecological resort development unlike anything else on the Mexican coast — a place where waterways and mangrove systems were preserved rather than bulldozed. Fairmont Mayakoba, which opened in 2006 as the anchor property of that broader master plan, arranged its 401 guest casitas and suites across low-rise palapas with steep thatched roofs that dissolve into the tree canopy rather than competing with it. The aerial view makes the logic plain: white sand, turquoise water, and palms, with the structures sitting back from the shoreline in a rhythm that preserves the sense of undisturbed coast. The interiors, refreshed in recent years, work through a palette of warm blonde wood, travertine-effect stone floors, linen upholstery, and cane-back occasional chairs — a vocabulary that keeps the rooms feeling closer to a well-appointed hacienda than a resort block. Coffered ceilings with exposed timber beams and slow-turning ceiling fans reinforce the tropical-residential atmosphere, plantation shutters filtering the light much as they would in a colonial Yucatecan house. The open-sided restaurant visible in the images continues the same material thinking outward — dark wood structural frames, woven pendant lights, and natural stone bar fronts giving onto unobstructed sea views — with the lagoon-side infinity pool, clad in local limestone, completing a circuit between jungle, water, and beach.

"We’ve loved every visit to Fairmont Mayakoba! This was our 4th visit and it didn’t disappoint. Our highlight is always our butler, Fernanda!!! She is amazing and always goes above and beyond for our family. She is such an asset to this resort and we look forward to seeing her every time!!!! Her co-butler, Javier, is also a great butler and is very friendly! This visit, we also really appreciated Angel at the pool. He was great and always made sure we had everything we needed. Eva and Roxana at Brisa’s were exceptional! Also, we took a lovely boat ride to dinner with Eduardo. Such a nice experience! We also were taken care of by Nestor who worked in room service delivery. He has been such a nice person to interact with on all of our trips and this time was just as lovely! Finally, our check out was very smooth with Valeria at the front desk. She was kind, quick and efficient. Such a nice experience after our check in experience was less than ideal. Highly recommend Fairmont Mayakoba!!!"

"Our butlers Fernando & Rodrigo with our beachfront king suite were the best! Accommodating our needs at every step for large group dinner reservations, activities, extra ice buckets, and picking up a couple things from the store for us. I can’t praise them enough! We had a downpour when about to celebrate our friends birthday for 20, and they were able to quickly shift us to a restaurant at hotel in the middle of spring break when hotel maxed! Highly recommend requesting them both!"
