With Mexico trending right now from architecture, to cuisine, to hotels,
theres no time like the present to book that beach cabana.
With the most ocean-view suites on the Mexican Riviera, the
all-inclusive hotel Grand
Velas Riviera Maya is all-inclusive luxury at its most opulent. With
its outsized suites bedecked in white marble and pristine and private
beach, its where South American heads of state meet to discuss politics.
As for us, we were happy making decisions such as French or Asian for
dinner? or Kayak or paddleboard today?

chill
Icing-sugar sand with the shadows of palm fronds swaying the breeze is
enough entertainment for us at the ample beachfront cabanas. We suggest
reading The
Rules of Civility by Amor Towles with a glass of cold prosecco.
The beach is ideal for running in the early morning, or there is sunrise
yoga at the gym. Oh so busy!
Famous for its custom margarita cart that wends its way through the
restaurant, Frida,
like its artist namesake, is a restaurant that abounds in culture,
flavor and Mexican authenticity.

do
Take the five-minute drive into the charming town of Playa del Carmen
for your shopping fix. While strolling along the busy, pedestrian-only
main street, spy charming vignettes like this.

spa
A huge highlight of the resort is the spas
water journey, a 30-minute guided experience through hot and cold
pools, massaging water beds, steams, saunas and a detoxifying mud
masque. Youll feel so refreshed to wont even know those tequila flights
ever happened.
Even if youre not getting
married there, youll lust over the private beach settings and simple
white set-ups, thinking why didnt we do it that way? Maybe next time.
