As if the island’s dozens of existing top-rated properties weren’t enough, this week, Marriott officially opened its latest resort in the sun-soaked region. 

Almare, A Luxury Collection Resort is the latest mid-sized property to join Marriott’s growing list of Mexican Caribbean properties. A chic eco-friendly adults-only all-inclusive, this quaint property is situated in a quiet area far from the crowds.

Aimed at clientele seeking a peaceful retreat amid pristine nature, Almare boasts just 109 suites, each carefully crafted with elements inspired by nature. From standard rooms to suites that overlook the ocean, guests can find a variety of room types to suit a range of needs. 

Aside from its sumptuous rooms, Almare offers numerous wellness amenities for travelers craving a break from their everyday routines. 

The resort’s standout facility is Alma Spa, boasting a range of beauty treatments & pampering guests with local ingredients for a fresh tropical glow. Travelers can also enjoy an outdoor pool lined with palm trees.

For those seeking natural beauty, Isla Mujeres’ top-rated white-sand beaches are just a stone’s throw away from this luxury resort. Two of the island’s most popular beaches – Playa Norte and Playa Centro – are ranked as some of the best in the world and are a must-see attraction when visiting.

Guests can also look forward to savoring local flavors at Almare’s six bars and restaurants, which serve up both local and international cuisines.

For an authentic Mexican experience, try out BOGA, a fashionable eatery that creates sensational flavors using Mayan methods. For a contemporary approach, opt for Seasalt, which delights travelers with international foods and 360 nature views. 

Rates for the new resort start at $750 per night for two adults in November, with prices potentially significantly higher during peak travel times. 

Each year, Isla Mujeres is one of the hottest destinations for travelers in the Mexican Caribbean. A mere 15 minutes from Cancun by ferry, the laid-back tropical island is home to thousands of hotel rooms, although it’s also a hotspot for daytrippers.
