Set along a gorgeous stretch of Mayan coastline, this secluded beachfront retreat is located just 15 minutes from Cancun International Airport. You wouldn’t know it, though. As soon as you arrive at the resort, the bustle of the city is completely forgotten – the only sounds here are the rustling mangrove trees and gentle lapping of the Caribbean Sea.

The most exclusive abode at Waldorf Astoria Cancun is the Ocean Front Two-bedroom Presidential Suite. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout ensure the stunning beachside setting takes center stage.

Ideal for entertaining, the luxurious suite boasts an expansive living area complete with a bar and dining table with space for up to 10 guests. Ensuring you have more space than you’ll know what to do with, there’s also a pool table and screening room for watching movies.

Designed to effortlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces, the suite features several balconies for taking in the sweeping ocean views, as well as a plunge pool and soaking tub.

When it comes to dining at Waldorf Astoria Cancun, you’re in for a treat. The resort is home to several restaurants including JA’O, a laid-back eatery with a menu inspired by traditional Mexican cantina cooking; and Malpeque, which serves fresh seafood cooked on the open-flame grill. And if it’s al fresco dining you’re after, head to the pool bar for some light bites and cocktails.  

The resort also boasts an expansive Waldorf Astoria Spa. Here, you’ll find an array of relaxing treatments crafted around Mayan culture that incorporate healing crystals, locally sourced oils and fresh herbs from the garden.

As for activities, there’s plenty of choice from lounging by the infinity pool in a private cabana to heading out with the family on a bike ride (the concierge is on hand to craft bespoke itineraries).
