"An all-inclusive wellness resort where beachside leisure and spiritual practice coexist, with a plant-forward culinary program and coastal-jungle spa rituals such as temazcal ceremonies set among cenotes and mangroves. Guests can follow the property’s Architects of Life programming—yoga, cacao ceremonies, creative workshops—and stay in ocean-facing, animal-product-free suites while enjoying curated movement and meditation offerings." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"Cushioned between a white-sand beach and thick jungle, this boho-chic, haute-hippie resort emphasizes wellness with a jungle-meets-beach aesthetic and an Architects of Life programme that guides guests through sunrise breath work, cacao ceremonies, and purification rituals. The Atlantis spa offers innovative massages, body treatments, and temazcal sessions, restaurants skew mostly plant-based (with protein options available), and while the property is family-friendly it also has adults-only sections and an adults-only pool for guests seeking tranquility." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.

"Amid plenty of competition in Playa del Carmen, Palmaïa, the House of AïA, styles itself as no mere hotel, but a “wellness enclave,” and sets itself apart from the crowd with an intense devotion to nature, health, and spiritual well-being. The aim is to deliver all the luxury of a more traditional resort, but in a way that’s both environmentally responsible and spiritually edifying." - Mark Fedeli

"A wellness enclave in Playa del Carmen that focuses on nature, health, and spiritual well-being." - Mark Fedeli
