A quick overview - where tropical heat meets eastern cool...

Mayakoba is our stunning new private resort community in the heart of the Riviera Maya. The latest luxury resort by the Banyan Tree Resort Group, Mayakoba is designed with a Far East influence, with shades of Thailand and Malaysia reflected in its stunning architecture. It will equal the quality and style of Banyan's other developments.

Mayakoba is certainly not within everyone's reach but it is most definitely luxury living at its finest...

As a resident of Mayakoba you’ll be able to enjoy the challenges of El Camaleón, the Greg Norman signature golf course. An 18-hole, 72-par course and all within a few steps of your luxury villa.

Situated just minutes away from the exclusive Playa del Carmen resort, El Camaleón is aptly named due to its diverse design and ever-changing landscape, meandering through tropical jungles, dense mangroves and oceanfront stretches of sand.

El Camaleón is the only course in the Riviera Maya featuring two holes just steps from the Caribbean Sea.

El Camaleón’s clubhouse is designed with luxury in mind, and offers all the usual facilities you'd expect including an Argentinean steakhouse overlooking the 18th hole and a fully stocked pro-shop with the latest fashion and equipment.

The practice grounds and driving range have their own facilities as well as being handy for the clubhouse.

The beach club has its own restaurant and pool.

If you feel the need for something a little more energetic, there are plenty of water activities available right on the beach. Take your pick - jet skiing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, water skiing and parasailing.

You can take a trip by boat to the nearby islands and resorts along the coast or book your place on any of the popular sport fishing and deep sea fishing trips.

If you've never tried it, have a go at SCUBA diving or snorkeling. A first class diving spot with an abundance of marine life and coral shelves is the famous island of Cozumel - don't miss it.
