A Caribbean tropical paradise, elevated wooden pathways through a jungle of exotic trees and plants connect you with the endless amenities of this beautiful resort complex. Here's why people and families travel from all over the world to spend their vacation here:
BEACHES: The Vidanta resort in Riviera Maya lies along the shores of the warm crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Ocean. Take a walk down the pier to the observation deck, or walk, swim, play volleyball, or just lounge under a palapa at the beach that extends nearly a mile along the entire reach of the property. An activities center can help you arrange for snorkeling gear for use at the resort or scheduled trips elsewhere.
POOLS: There's a pool area for everybody at the Grand Mayan Riviera Maya. The signature Mayan Palace pool sits as a flagship center for gathering in its expansiveness beachside location. Swim leisurely in one of the pool's eddys, join the kids in the shallow play areas, join pool volleyball, grab a cool drink from one of the swim up bars, or lay poolside and simply soak up the relaxing Caribbean sun. Want to spend the day in the jungle? This is what you'll experience at the Grand Mayan Sanctuary pool area.
ACTIVITIES: A full menu of activities scattered throughout the resort means there is something for everyone at all times during the day. Water aerobics, morning stretching, botanical tour, bingo, poker, sand and pool volleyball, sand soccer, Spanish lessons, dancing classes, arts and crafts ⊠and more ⊠are all free, with the option for paddle boarding, parasailing, and water sports rentals.
FINE AND CASUAL DINING: From gourmet restaurants headed by professional chefs serving Mexican, French, Italian, and Asian cuisine to the multiple poolside and other eateries around the resort, going off-site can be hardly a consideration with a multitude of restaurants and lounges to explore. The resort's new market center, Salum, offers a beachside gathering, dining and lounging experience, with open air restaurants, snack shops and retail shopping. Vidanta works hard to assure fresh ingredients and a delectable menu no matter the location, so a simple taco for lunch at Samba can be just as delicious as dinner at the fine Quinto restaurant. Should you choose to venture out, both Playa del Carmen and Cancun offer unlimited options.
GOLF: The Jack Nicklaus designed course makes the resort a premier opportunity for the avid or casual golfer. The golf environment includes a restaurant on the course. Two-for-one golf is included in your stay.
SPA: Brio is the place to indulge in a luxury spa experience including massages, manicures, pedicures, and salon services. In addition to booking spa services is the option to use the facility daily for self-treatment. Brio hosts a spa with a hot pool, cold pool, steam sauna, and dry sauna.
CIRQUE DE SOLEIL: Vidanta is home to its own exquisite Cirque de Soleil entertainment complex, including a stunning performance venue and an open-air restaurant beside a stunning lake, all nestled within its own jungle setting.
