Tucked under a forest canopy and within a network of crystal clear waterways, the 45-acre Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya resort sits alongside the Caribbean Sea in the heart of the Riviera Maya and approximately 42 miles south of Cancun. This stretch of the Caribbean coast, known as the Riviera Maya, is about 45 minutes from the Cancun International Airport (CUN) and 15 minutes from Playa del Carmen. Xcaret wildlife and nature reserve is just 20 minutes away, and the ferry ride to Cozumel is a 15-minute drive and a 35-minute ferry ride.
