The Sacred Riviera Maya
The Riviera Maya is a transcendentally beautiful region along the eastern Yucatán Peninsula's Caribbean coastline, stretching from the area just south of Cancún down to Tulum and a few points further southward. Optimally situated on the tranquil shoreline looking out toward the Island of Cozumel, Kanai is located at the very heart of the Riviera Maya and, in myriad ways, draws inspiration from and celebrates being in a place steeped in history that spans aeons, and rich in culture that, for millennia, has provided some of the world's most beloved cuisine, traditions, art, music, prose, poetry and more.
