Earlier this year, Hyatt Hotels had announced its decision to rebrand Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya into an Alila property. As the first Alila-branded resort in Latin America and the Caribbean, Alila Mayakoba plans to introduce a new level of environmentally conscious hospitality to Mexico’s Riviera Maya when it debuts in Q4 2025. Both Andaz and Alila are Hyatt brands.
Alila Mayakoba will offer 118 guestrooms and 64 suites with private pools and spa-inspired bathrooms. Set within 148 acres of protected mangroves and freshwater canals, the property will offer a blend of privacy and local immersion—from outdoor treatments and regional healing rituals at the spa to culinary concepts focusing on local produce and unique masterclasses with local experts. Rooted in Mayan tradition, the property's design integrates locally sourced and reclaimed materials. The arrival experience will be reimagined as a cenote-inspired welcome space with natural materials, layered greenery and artisanal elements that reflect Mayan heritage.
Numerous food and beverage outlets are slated to debut at Alila Mayakoba this winter. In all, the resort will offer several new restaurants and a new beach club. Culinary concepts will be centered around local flavors and a garden-to-table philosophy, supported by an on-site organic garden and local sourcing from regional farmers and fishermen.
At the resort’s signature Alila Spa, expanded wellness offerings will include a traditional temazcal and outdoor hydrotherapy experiences. Guests can also enjoy Mayan-inspired rituals such as herbal steam baths, traditional massages with botanical oils, as well as outdoor yoga and meditation sessions. Other facilities include oceanfront pools and a PGA 18-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman.
Alila Mayakoba will foster connection between guests and the surrounding community through a range of experiences—whether it’s learning about the history of chocolate in the region with a local expert, or participating in an ancient Mayan-inspired wellness ritual.
