At the end of the day, luxury isn't about materiality. It's about spirituality. It's not about how much something costs. It's about how it makes you feel.”

Strengthen, condition and tone whenever you wish at the fully-equipped, 24-hour fitness center.
A Gastronomic and Mixologic Wonderland
Standouts among the plentiful and various enticing culinary choices at The Riviera Maya EDITION include two restaurants: KI'IS, by internationally acclaimed Chef Francisco Ruano, recipient of The World's 50 Best Restaurant accolade, offers an innovative tasting menu in a modern Mexican style served alongside forward-thinking cocktails and a special selection of wines. SO'OL, by Tomás Bermúdez, is reminiscent of a lively Mediterranean beach club with Mexican touches, combining simple, superb cooking with masterful technique. Additionally, the soaring Lobby Bar offers imaginative, craveable concoctions in one of the most Instagram-able spaces in the world.
This very special EDITION is the very definition of chic.
Upon arrival, you walk a gauntlet of layered, lush vegetation, some spilling from oversized terra cotta planters, others rooted in the artfully-composed groundplane landscaping, and still more hanging from above.  Throughout the property, the biophilic design principle manifests itself in dense, verdant plantings that meet signature EDITION minimalism—in the form of architecture by Michael Edmonds International and interior design by Rockwell Group—in glorious, omni-sensual harmony, providing restorative, gorgeous spaces.
