If you want a Riviera Maya experience like no other, then pack your cases; it’s coming to the Mexican Caribbean this fall.
The first EDITION Riviera Maya will be located in the newly developed Kanai area and is an international luxury brand, which is now excitingly about to land on the Mexican Caribbean coastline for the first time.
EDITION hotels are currently dotted all over the world in locations such as Miami, London, and Shanghai, but this is the first of its kind to come to Mexico.
There truly isn’t anything like this in the area yet – a luxury resort that is unparalleled, boasting a whopping 186 rooms and suites for you to choose from, including a 206-square-meter penthouse suite.
The hotel will be located on an idyllic beachfront setting, deep in the heart of a jungle reserve in the Riviera Maya, spread across a gorgeous stretch of sandy white shores overlooking the Caribbean ocean.
It will have six tasty offerings for all your food and drink needs, including its signature restaurant, an intimate pool bar, and even a beach club which is perfect for soaking up that Mexican sunshine.
There’s a spa where you can unwind after a long day of swimming and sipping margaritas by the pool, an outdoor deck for some incredible parties and events, and even a spa for you to be pampered at – and if you’re in town for business, then the space has got you covered with multiple meeting spaces too.

What is EDITION?
EDITION is part of Marriott’s luxury lifestyle hotel brand and is an innovative style of hotel like no other.
Its visionaries are Ian Shrager and Marriott International – and they provide a personal and bespoke hotel experience.
These hotels aren’t just any kind of hotel; they are a completely new experience, a lifestyle hotel.
Their aim is for you to live in the moment, cater to your every need, and make you feel something when you are visiting.
From check-in until check-out, EDITION pledges to bring each location of their hotel to life for you.
They want their environment to be an immersive and authentic experience of whatever your location is; all met with luxurious design and attentive customer service. Their main goal is to give guests a feeling of being somewhere so unique and special that only they have experienced it.
Kanai Development
Kanai is a 680-acre area featuring 4 luxury hotels, equipped with 700 rooms and residences, all within a secure and safe gated community, nestled deep in a mangrove reserve, eco-consciously built in and around a variety of different species of wildlife and nature.
Whether you’re wanting to chill out, party, or experience culture or adventure, traveling solo or with others, this place will have you covered.
The resort has pledged to protect the environment while providing an incredible experience for visitors with world-class design and attention to detail.
It will boast a 2-kilometer strip of sugary white sandy beaches and an untouched coral reef from the world’s second-largest coral reef in the world, a haven for divers and lovers of nature – where you can spot endless amounts of coral and it also makes for a beautiful habitat for various marine life, fish, and turtles.
Where Is Kanai?
Located deep in the heart of Riviera Maya, you’ll find the new Kanai development around a 30-minute drive from Cancun International Airport and just 10 minutes from downtown Playa Del Carmen.
So if you want to venture further afield to witness some of the incredible activities and culture the area offers, then you are super close to neighboring towns like Puerto Morelos and Playa Del Carmen.
You have the opportunity to relax at Kanai some days, but other days, you can explore the ancient Mayan ruins of the area, maybe take a dip in one of the thousands of cenotes that are dotted in the area, or take yourself on an adventurous day out to Xcaret nearby.
