Iconic Cancun Luxury Brand Launching All-Inclusive Suites & Villas This Winter

Share The Article

Good news for luxury travelers: a big upgrade is landing at several fan-favorite resorts in the Mexican Caribbean this winter.

Royalton Hotels & Resorts is rolling out Royalton Suites & Villas, a new elevated tier within its Diamond Club that spotlights the brand’s most spacious, high-end accommodations—including overwater bungalows, signature mansions, and top suites—in and around Cancun.

The first phase kicks in November 1, 2025, with a second wave on March 1, 2026.

As Royalton’s team puts it, the new tier focuses on “exceptional size” layouts, privacy, and enhanced services—essentially taking the all-inclusive model up a notch for families, groups, and couples who want more space and bespoke attention without giving up the convenience of an all-in package.

Phase one applies to Overwater Bungalows & Villas; phase two extends the concept to Chairman Suites, Presidential Suites, and the CHIC Mansion at applicable resorts.

What this means in Cancun & nearby hotspots

Here in the Cancun area, travelers will start seeing the Suites & Villas experience touch the following properties over the rollout window:

• Royalton Riviera Cancun
• Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun (adults-only enclave)
• Royalton CHIC Cancun (Hotel Zone)
• Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun (family-favorite water park)
• Paraíso de la Bonita Riviera Maya (Puerto Morelos)
• Mystique Holbox (Isla Holbox; greater Cancun area)
• Planet Hollywood Cancun by Royalton (Costa Mujeres)
• Planet Hollywood Adult Scene Cancun by Royalton (Costa Mujeres)

If you’ve been eyeing a winter escape, the timing aligns nicely—especially with Royalton Riviera Cancun’s multi-million-dollar refresh slated for this season, which we at The Cancun Sun recently covered in detail. Expect updated suites, social spaces, and dining across the twin resorts on that shoreline.

Meanwhile, Royalton CHIC Cancun continues to headline the adults-only scene in the Hotel Zone (Forbes even singled it out for its pool scene earlier this year), so we’re curious to see how the CHIC Mansion piece of the rollout enhances that “see-and-be-seen” energy. And for families, Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun already ranks as one of our top picks thanks to its enormous on-site water park—upgrading to a Suites & Villas category here could mean a room that finally matches the scale of your kids’ vacation dreams.

Up the coast, Costa Mujeres (home to both Planet Hollywood properties) keeps booming as Cancun’s chic, quieter-than-the-Zone alternative—another reason we expect strong interest in the new tier from travelers who prefer bigger footprints and a bit more privacy.

Why Royalton is doubling down on luxury now

This launch also lands alongside Royalton’s broader luxury moves in the region—like the Royalton Reserve Collection, which just named Paraíso de la Bonita as its inaugural member. The takeaway: the brand is betting that travelers want design-forward suites, high-touch service, and curated experiences within the ease of an all-inclusive.

How to choose the right property (and room)

Here’s how we’d play it based on traveler type:

• Adults-only scene chasers: Book Royalton CHIC Cancun and watch for CHIC Mansion availability after March 1, 2026, if you want that “villa-within-a-resort” vibe with prime nightlife access in the Zone.
• Families who do it big: Lock Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun and consider Suites & Villas for extra square footage to spread out post-waterpark.
• Beach-first luxury with privacy: Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun or Paraíso de la Bonita will skew calmer and more refined, with the latter now flying the Reserve flag.
• New-hotspot hunters: Costa Mujeres’ Planet Hollywood options blend big-resort energy with an away-from-the-crowds location just north of the Zone.

Pro tips from our desk

• Watch the timing. If you want the new tier specifically, note the dates: Nov 1, 2025 (Overwater Bungalows & Villas) and Mar 1, 2026 (Chairman/Presidential/CHIC Mansion). Book accordingly.
• Match the vibe to your trip. For party-ready energy near clubs, we’ve ranked Royalton CHIC Cancun among the best for nightlife proximity. For water-obsessed kids, Splash is the no-brainer.
• Do your resort homework. Our guide to the Top 10 All-Inclusives in Cancun for 2025—including Planet Hollywood Cancun and Royalton Riviera Cancun—is a great place to compare locations and perks before you commit.

We’ll keep tracking the finer details as Royalton publishes more about what’s bundled into Suites & Villas at each property.

For now, the headline is clear: bigger spaces, more privacy, and upgraded service—inside the all-inclusive you already love.

If you’re planning a winter or early-spring getaway, this could be the moment to snag a suite that actually fits the vacation you’ve been picturing.
