Located in stunning Riviera Maya, Banyan Tree Mayakoba is currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary with exciting news. Debuting late 2020, a $50 million renovation will up the luxury throughout the property. Enhancements include new villas and suites, an expanded beach club, new beachfront lounge and library, a larger kids’ club, spa enhancements and more. Renowned Sordo Madaleno Architects is overseeing the expansion project. The upcoming renovation follows the resort’s newest event space MK Blue which recently opened this June.
“It’s an exciting time as we reinvest back into the resort in honor of our 10th year. These enhancements come as a direct result of listening to our guests’ feedback. We know today’s discerning traveler is looking for high-design, private villas; innovative dining options serving fresh, local cuisine; and more robust kids’ clubs. These new villas will be a bit of a departure from the existing accommodations in terms of design, while still embracing and celebrating our unique natural setting in a new way. We’re proud to evolve and grow while maintaining the same level of luxury service and intimacy that our guests expect.”
Peter Hechler, General Manager, Banyan Tree Mayakoba
