Private terraces with sweeping views.

The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai features 182 chic accommodations — including thirty suites — each boasting a terrace with picturesque views of the surrounding ocean and mangroves. In true EDITION fashion, each accommodation features iconic black-and-white photography, complemented by various textures and a serene white-on-white color palette. Rooms and suites on the ground floor, as well as select suites, offer plunge pools and outdoor showers for added enjoyment. The resort is also home to one of the largest Penthouse Suites in the world: the 27,000-square-foot Sky Rooftop Villa. With five bedrooms, a semi-Olympic infinity swimming pool, an expansive living space, and terraces, it is the epitome of grandeur and seclusion.
Wellness

Spa resembling the cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Kids will not be disappointed by the large lagoon-style family pool, while adults can kick back and relax at the beach club, which features an adults-only infinity pool. For those seeking to elevate their fitness routine, the resort offers a twenty-four-seven, fully equipped gym, as well as yoga and fitness activities that rotate weekly. Over in the spa, guests can find three hydrotherapy pools, a private outdoor pool, a Turkish Hammam, and a steam and chromotherapy treatment bed. With six private indoor-outdoor treatment rooms, this tranquil oasis draws inspiration from the underground rivers of the Yucatan Peninsula and welcomes guests to indulge and unwind.
Restaurant

Authentic Mexican gastronomy.

Helmed by two esteemed Mexican chefs — both recognized by the World’s 50 Best — the culinary destinations at The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai should not be missed. Chef Tomás Bermúdez wows guests at SO’OL Beach Club (meaning “oyster” in Maya) with a seamless blend of Mediterranean and Mexican oceanfront cuisine. Over at KI’IS, a name meaning “zest”, Francisco “Paco” Ruano focuses on honoring the country’s Pacific coast with a specific focus on Mexican vegetables. For more casual daytime options, Chef Ruano also offers delicious breakfast, brunch, and dinner menus at Kitchen at EDITION, while The Pool Bar serves hearty meals under the sun.
Bar

An impressive menu of agave distillates, regional wines, and curated cocktails with local flavors can be found at the Lobby Bar. Intimate yet energetic, it is the perfect spot to grab a pre-dinner cocktail or a relaxing nightcap. Guests can also munch on a selection of light bites, artfully created with some of the region’s best local ingredients.
