A groundbreaking sustainable sanctuary rising gracefully above a 620-acre mangrove reserve along two miles of pristine white-sand Caribbean beach.
Sited on an exclusive 620-acre pristine nature reserve with two miles of secluded white-sand beach, The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai introduces a revolutionary concept of sustainable eco-luxury to Mexico's Caribbean coast. Designed by renowned architecture firm Rockwell Group and Edmonds International, the resort appears to float gracefully above a forest of flourishing red mangroves, leaving 97% of the delicate surrounding ecosystem untouched.
Featuring 182 guest rooms and suites with expansive outdoor terraces and plunge pools, a sprawling lagoon-style pool, North America's largest hotel penthouse, and world-class culinary concepts curated by culinary luminaries like Chef Francisco Ruano, EDITION Kanai harmonizes Ian Schrager’s visionary aesthetic with ancient Mayan cosmology.
