Why choose this journey

For its rare blend of an authentic tropical atmosphere, a beachfront setting and immediate proximity to the heart of Playa del Carmen. Guests can enjoy a bungalow surrounded by palm trees, a massage or a day by the water, then walk to Quinta Avenida in the evening. Its bohemian vibe, varied dining plans and more intimate scale make it an excellent alternative to the vast all-inclusive mega-resorts of the Riviera Maya.

Set between tropical gardens and the Caribbean Sea, Mahekal Beach Resort occupies one of Playa del Carmen’s most pleasant areas, at the end of peaceful Calle 38 and just a few minutes’ walk from Quinta Avenida. Palapas, sandy paths, lush vegetation and architecture inspired by the Mayan world create a bohemian atmosphere that stands apart from the Riviera Maya’s large contemporary resorts.

The resort features 195 bungalows, spread between the gardens and the beachfront. Ocean View and Ocean Front rooms, Beach Houses, palapas and suites favour wood, artisanal textiles, terraces and a close connection with nature; some categories also include their own small private pool. The overall feel remains intimate despite the size of the property.

Gastronomy brings together six restaurants and bars. Fuego Restaurante y Cantina celebrates seafood and Mexican traditions, Cocina explores regional cuisines, while Las Olas opens directly onto the beach. Mahekal also stands out for its flexibility, with stays available on a room-only, half-board or all-inclusive basis.

The Revive Spa draws on Mayan traditions with massages, holistic treatments, temazcal, sound healing and oceanfront yoga. Four pools, the beach, bicycles and the MaheKids Kamp round out an experience focused on relaxation, nature and local culture, while keeping the lively energy of Playa del Carmen just steps away.
