These Are the Top Three Experiences You Can’t Miss at Fairmont Mayakoba

These three moments will elevate your next stay at this Riviera Maya resort.

As the largest resort in Mayakoba, Fairmont Mayakoba offers countless reasons to come back again and again. Over its 20 years of delighting guests, the resort has earned its reputation as a local legend, and with good reason. Each visit is an excuse to experience something new, be it a dish, a spa treatment, or an adventure in the ocean. It’s also a reason to return to timeless favorites –who doesn’t want to go down the water slide in the main pool over and over? Yet there are certain experiences that go beyond the optional, becoming absolute must-dos. These three will stay in your memory forever.

 

Experience a Soul-Stirring Temazcal Ceremony 

Few rituals are as transformative as a traditional temazcal ceremony. Deeply rooted in ancient Mexican wisdom, the ceremony takes place inside a small, dome-shaped space that represents the womb. Throughout four “doors,” a shaman guides the group through a series of chants and prayers as he or she feeds volcanic stones called “abuelas” (grandmothers) with water, usually infused with medicinal herbs. The steam that emerges is as healing for the body as it is for the mind, bringing a sense of cleansing and renewal, as participants release everything that no longer serves them: toxins, stagnant energy, and negative thoughts.

A temazcal ceremony is an incomparable way to connect with Mexican healing traditions, and the intangible wisdom of the Riviera Maya. The temazcal ceremony takes place every Tuesday afternoon at the Fairmont Spa. You can book your spot by calling the Spa or sending an email to myk.spareservations@fairmont.com before or during your stay.

 

Spend a Sun-Kissed Day at Maykana Beach Club

The beach club at Fairmont Mayakoba will be one of your favorite spots throughout your stay. Placed in front of the turquoise waters and white-sand beaches, the club features a refreshing family-friendly pool, perfect for splashing around with your favorite people. On the shore, options for enjoyment are endless, from hoping on a kayak or a paddleboard to explore the waters, all the way to beach volleyball matches. Of course, if all you want to do is hang out under the sun, grab a lounge chair and a margarita, and let your worries fade away.

When it comes to dining at Maykana, options are equally diverse and exciting. The airy Brisas awaits early risers at breakfast, while lunchtime brings fresh flavors and Latin American bites. Aqua is your go-to for poolside cocktails, while Fuego doles out grilled delights like freshly caught seafood and local pork. At the end of the day, chase the perfect sunset at Cielo rooftop bar, where drinks are served with tranquil Caribbean vibes. 

 

Book a Memorable Dinner at Tauro

Placed over the lagoon and offering inspiring views of the resort, Tauro blends the elegance of a classic steakhouse with laid-back Mayakoba vibes. Classic booths, eye-catching tile columns, and modern lamps are part of the stylish interiors, while the outdoor terrace offers the incomparable feeling of the Caribbean breeze. 

The feast begins with the coldest martinis in the Riviera Maya and shareable appetizers like wedge salad and beef carpaccio, setting the mood for the main event: prime cuts, like picanha and striploin, alongside spectacular proteins like salmon and short rib. Sides like vegetables from Valle de Bravo and creamy spinach complement every bite harmoniously. An extensive wine list offers a sensory journey, with expert sommeliers always available to guide you through. If you’re dining with the little ones, the menu includes kid-friendly options as well, like mac and cheese and a cheeseburger with fries. 

You can book your table at Tauro by emailing myk.restaurantreservations@fairmont.com before or during your stay.
