Spread across mangroves, jungle and Caribbean shoreline near Playa del Carmen, Grand Velas Riviera Maya is divided into three distinct accommodation areas: Grand Class, Ambassador and Zen Grand. Suites are unusually spacious, with terraces, marble bathrooms and private plunge pools in selected categories; Zen Grand sits deeper within the tropical landscape. Cocina de Autor, Frida, Piaf and Sen Lin lead an extensive restaurant collection, while SE Spa centres on a large hydrotherapy circuit. Pools, gardens and timber walkways link the beachfront buildings with the mangrove-fringed interior of the estate.
