The Resorts of Kanai Offers a Refined Beachy Getaway
Debra John — March 20, 2025 — Eco
The resorts of Kanai, nestled along the unspoiled Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s renowned Riviera Maya, have quickly become a premier destination for sustainable luxury. The enclave currently features "three exceptional properties—Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection, The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai, and The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya—with the Mandarin Oriental Kanai set to join in 2027."
Spanning "680 acres of the Yucatán Peninsula, Kanai is surrounded by lush jungle and serene mangrove forests, offering miles of powder-soft beaches along the eastern shore." Notably, only 10% of the land has been developed, ensuring the preservation of the region’s natural beauty while providing guests direct access to its untouched environment.
Each resort within Kanai offers a unique experience, from intimate hideaways to expansive escapes, complemented by world-class amenities and services that emphasize relaxation and sustainability.
