Cancun is the top vacation destination for Americans again this year for many reasons, including its neverending white sand beaches and crystal clear ocean, the non-stop party atmosphere, and its plethora of luxury hotels. But, with so many Cancun resorts rating themselves as 5-star, how do you know which ones will really provide those little luxuries you crave? Here, we’ll help you out by sharing the top 5 most luxurious resorts in Cancun.
NIZUC Resort and Spa
When you’re looking for high-end – and we mean super high-end – NIZUC Resort and Spa is where it’s at. Located at the most southerly point of Cancun’s hotel zone, this is a true oasis with two paradise beaches for the exclusive use of guests.
Over the resort’s 264 seductive suites and villas, you can enjoy a level of service that’s unsurpassed, where your every desire is catered to, and where nothing is too much trouble. You’ll never tire of the dining options at NIZUC, with 6 world-class restaurants to choose from, including Peruvian fare at Ni, Asian Fusion at Indochine, and Mediterranean cuisine at Terra Nostra. This is All-Inclusive food gone gourmet.
When it comes to activities, by day, why not try snorkeling or paddleboarding straight from the beach. And by night, enjoy some Cuban Jazz as you relax with an expertly crafted cocktail. Alongside the elegant decor, peaceful setting, and non-stop luxury, you can also enjoy traditional Mayan treatments as you’re pampered at the Mexican Caribbean’s first ESPA-branded spa.
With great offers currently available, a stay at NIZUC Resort and Spa is a possibility that’s hard to refuse.

There are gourmet dining options to suit all tastes, from a signature French experience at Lumiere, to exquisite Japanese flavors at Yama. The luxury label is further reinforced with complimentary Moet et Chandon champagne available to all guests.
There are a whole host of fitness options available, whether you’re looking for mindful yoga, or TRX body-weight training.

Dining is choice-heavy, with five quality restaurants on site (and a sixth, the Gourmet Hall, coming in September 2022), plus access to a further six restaurants at the nearby Villa del Palmar Cancun.
You can take part in a wide range of activities, experiences, and shows, including live music every night of the week. And with fitness classes, an elegant spa, and a handy kids’ club all included in the price, this resort offers substance as much as it offers style.

Ritz-Carlton Cancun
This classy Cancun establishment is the first Ritz-Carlton resort outside the United States and over the last 30 years it has created quite a reputation for itself. Synonymous with luxury and the best of the best, the Ritz-Carlton brand conjures up images of classical style and timeless elegance – and the Cancun resort more than lives up to this vision.
Esthetically, the Ritz-Carlton Cancun harks back to the good old days of opulent decor, with plush sofas, chandeliers, and meters of fabric elegantly dressing the windows. Despite this old-world glamor, the resort caters well to families, with a dedicated Club Lounge Level for family hangouts.
Suites are comfortable, with lavish bed dressings and neutral decor, and each one enjoys views across the beach to the turquoise water. The resort’s nine dining experiences will cater to all tastes and moods, and the bars are equally well stocked, offering over 100 of Mexico’s best tequilas.
