The Ritz-Carlton has announced its plan to bring its signature luxury to the Riviera Maya in 2026. The project aims to maintain a close connection with nature while providing an unparalleled level of luxury.

The Ritz-Carlton, a renowned luxury hotel brand, has revealed its plans to open a luxury hotel and residences in the Riviera Maya, a stunning Mexican destination. The project is a response to the growing demand for such a property in this magical location.

The developer, Arca, in partnership with the commercial team at IMI Worldwide Properties, is behind the project. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Riviera Maya and The Ritz-Carlton Riviera Maya aim to provide a unique experience for owners and guests. The experience will be rooted in carefree luxury and the rich history of the Yucatán Peninsula.

Both the hotel and the residences will be located amidst lush tropical vegetation, dense mangroves, and offer panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. The design will preserve an intimate connection with nature while providing the high-end services and amenities associated with The Ritz-Carlton brand.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Riviera Maya will feature 127 furnished residences with prices starting at $1.824 million. The residences are designed by the acclaimed Mexican firm Sordo Madaleno to be a self-sufficient community that blends seamlessly with the surrounding greenery. The design prioritizes the preservation of the land, including the mangroves and the property's dune landscape, with 85% of the surrounding jungle being carefully preserved.

The residences will incorporate organic materials into their design. They will feature custom kitchens with top-quality appliances, spacious dressing rooms, and exclusive outdoor spaces. These outdoor spaces will include outdoor kitchens, swimming pools, and large terraces with ocean views.

Owners of the residences will have access to a range of exclusive amenities including a private concierge, a resident chef, on-demand grocery shopping, childcare services, personalized physical training, in-residence spa treatments, and exclusive access to The Catamaran Club.

The accompanying hotel will offer all the comforts of a luxury resort, including a wide range of activities and recreational opportunities. The hotel will feature 300 rooms and suites, four pools, and The Lagoon, a water recreation area for children and families.

Both hotel guests and residents will have access to a variety of world-class dining options, curated by TalentChef. Dining options will include casual meals at Bonfire, traditional coffee and Mexican bakery at Sagrado, and snacks at Excursion Lounge. The Central Restaurant, featuring six different spaces including a distillery, wine cellar, and speakeasy bar, will be a highlight. The Farmhouse, a farm-to-table concept, Aldea, a minimalist style market with local products, and The Beach Club will complete the dining experience.
