Ensconced in a natural mangrove reserve yet a short drive away from Playa del Carmen and Cancun, The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya is an oasis of seaside glamour. The resort seamlessly blends elements of local cultural mysticism and a deep connection to nature with luxurious amenities, avant-garde architecture and mouth-watering delicacies, creating a premium escape from the ordinary.

Nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site Sian Ka'an Reserve served as inspiration for the resort’s architecture, featuring circular exterior design with floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the mangroves and lush tropical forest, immersing guests in the beauty of nature from every standpoint. The interiors, designed by Canadian firm Chapo Chapi, incorporate elegant décor with a special focus on custom furniture and artwork from local artisans, paying homage to Mexico’s ancient culture.
