In the heart of Mexico’s beautiful Riviera Maya, around a 40-minute drive from Cancun Airport, lies Kanai, a new 620-acre gated community. 

Comprised of four luxury hotels (including The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya and The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai), this community sits among a verdant jungle and mangrove reserve — the utmost care has been taken in preserving the habitat of a wide variety of wildlife and nature that reside here. 

Discover an exceptional address at The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya, which offers a central location near Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. The resort is built on a natural mangrove reserve, with a setting inspired by the neighboring Sian Ka’an Reserve, a Unesco World Heritage Site. 

Take in sweeping ocean views from the vast reserve set on the shores of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. The Pleiades constellation inspired the circular architecture of the resort's avant-garde exterior, which floats above the canopy of the mangrove trees below. Each of the 124 rooms and suites boasts dramatic views, along with bespoke furniture and a private terrace or plunge pool. 

The exquisite Two-bedroom Presidential Suite — located a short walk away from the beach — comprises two bedrooms, ample living space and two large terraces; each one has a plunge pool and a kitchen with a private entrance. 

An additional two rooms (a king-size and a double-queen bedroom, opening one into another) can be added to the suite, allowing larger families to spread out in total comfort. 

The design elements draw inspiration from the ancient Mayan culture and the Astor House legacy, from bedside ceramic light pendants and intricate walnut wood-carved headboards to bronze-finished mirrors; these timeless accommodations combine mystique and glamour. 

The breathtaking views from the terrace invite guests to admire the lush mangrove and the turquoise blue of the ocean. 

The St. Regis Butler Service is included and available around the clock.
