La Casa de la Playa: Ultimate Luxury Mexican Escape

Overview

Nestled in the heart of Riviera Maya, La Casa de la Playa is an all-inclusive, ultra-luxe boutique resort. The property delivers an exclusive and intimate oceanfront experience. With just 63 stunning suites, it’s the kind of place where you feel like you have the entire resort to yourself — even during peak season. A perfect blend of Mexican artistry and modern design, with a warm, personalized touch that makes you feel right at home (if your home were a 5-star paradise).

This resort is tailor-made for honeymooners, couples and anyone celebrating something special. Oh, and did I mention it’s the only all-inclusive in the area with a Forbes 5-star rating?

Chances are, you’ve already seen this hotel pop up on your feed. Its insanely photogenic infinity pool overlooking the ocean is a favorite among influencers (yes, even Mr Beast stayed here). And if that’s not enough, Travel + Leisure named it the #2 best hotel in the world!

Rooms

La Casa de la Playa has 63 stunning oceanview suites, and honestly, they feel more like private retreats than hotel rooms. Each one comes with a private plunge pool, floor-to-ceiling ocean views and the kind of luxe, handcrafted decor that makes you want to redecorate your whole house. Oh, and let’s not forget the butler service, in-room mezcal bar and artisanal welcome treats — because why not feel like a VIP every second of your stay?

Pool

You’ve definitely seen this pool before — it’s that Instagram-famous oceanview infinity pool that looks straight out of a dream. And trust me, it’s even better in person. The views? Unreal. The vibe? Private and peaceful, even when the hotel is full. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time, cocktail in hand, watching the waves roll in.

Spa

If relaxation had a home, it would be at Muluk Spa. The treatments here are totally next-level, blending Mayan traditions with modern wellness. Think custom massages, hydrotherapy and even temazcal ceremonies if you’re up for a spiritual reset. Every treatment is tailored to you, so whether you need deep relaxation or a full-body refresh, they’ve got you covered.

Food

The resort features world-class dining curated by some of Mexico’s top chefs, offering everything from gourmet tasting menus to fresh, locally inspired dishes. Tuch de Luna delivers vibrant, artful Mexican flavors, while Estero blends fresh seafood with Peruvian flair. Lumbre is all about wood-fired grilling, and Centli takes you back to authentic, pre-Hispanic cooking. For something sweet, Chokolatl offers 24/7 artisanal chocolate — unlimited and always delicious. Bodega specializes in rare tequila and mezcal, while Sky Bar serves up cocktails with stunning ocean views.

Tailored Experiences

This is where La Casa de la Playa really goes above and beyond. They don’t just offer activities — they create once-in-a-lifetime experiences designed just for you. Whether it’s a private yacht ride, dinner in a hidden cenote, a behind-the-scenes cultural tour or VIP access to Xcaret parks, they make sure every moment feels special. It’s the perfect mix of luxury, adventure and exclusivity — all wrapped into one unforgettable stay.

The hotel is all-inclusive, which includes all food and beverages, R/T airport transfers and access to all Grupo Xcaret parks. You can also visit Xcaret Mexico & Xcaret Arte properties for all of their amenities, restaurants and fun through a secret door. Kicker: These guests cannot enjoy your slice of paradise, so only by staying at La Casa de la Playa can you access all three.
