Nestled on the Yucatán Peninsula, Nizuc Resort & Spa boasts elegant suites and villas, pristine beaches, lush gardens, and a host of upscale dining options for an unforgettable getaway.
"Nizuc Resort & Spa is no stranger to our World’s Best Awards – it made the list in 2021, 2022, and 2023. This small, stylish, and sophisticated resort manages to carve out its own secluded piece of paradise despite being adjacent to the Cancun Hotel Zone. Sleek open-air architecture and its 274 modern suites and villas melt into the oceanfront and jungle surroundings. Stone tile floors, polished dark marble, natural wood, and neutral beach tones add to the tranquil vibe, and the villas with soaking tubs and plunge pools feel like a true private island escape. Six gourmet restaurants offer delicious cuisine from around the world from China to Peru to Italy, while Nizuc’s three bars serve up excellent cocktails, views, and atmosphere. Additional experiences like paella classes, hand-rolled cigars, tequila and wine tastings, spa treatments, and private tennis lessons round out your stay nicely, while daily activities like kids' club programming, snorkeling and kayaking, and live music are included. The main pool and beach are family-friendly, and there is a separate adults-only pool." - Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven is a Los Angeles-based travel, food and drink, and culture writer.

"This eco-resort destination is easily reached via Cancun and has a wondrous setting, where blue waters, white-sand beaches, and mangroves meet. There are four luxury properties here, and all are ideal for a relaxing and tropical mother-daughter getaway." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The beach—and its views—are the main attraction at this 274-room resort on the Yucatán Peninsula. Book one of the eight penthouse suites, which have outdoor living rooms and Caribbean vistas. Views aside, there’s much more to love: three colossal infinity pools and two beaches, both well stocked with loungers, and six restaurants. We love Ramona, with its clean and contemporary Mexican cuisine (did somebody say lobster bisque with mezcal sauce?) and La Punta Grill, where a tender, expertly salted flank steak might be the main event."
"The 29-acre Nizuc Resort & Spa excels in size, service, and amenities. The soothing design scheme blendscalming neutrals and natural materials, which recur across multipleinterior elements, including lamps, furniture, and tile flooring. Spacious, sun-filled rooms featureterraces and tropical gardens, and the private villas includeinfinity pools . Staff lead many activities to keep visitors as busy as they want to be; a typical day at the resort might include learning how to roll cigars, participating in a session of paddleboard yoga, or simply trying to choose a favorite between the two pools."
