The Ritz Carlton brand is primed to enter Mexico with The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Riviera Maya and The Ritz-Carlton, Riviera Maya, expected to debut in 2026. Situated on Mexico’s storied expanse of Caribbean Sea, among acres of lush tropical canopies, dense mangroves and sweeping views of the Yucatan coastline, the site boasts a private crescent-shaped shoreline ideal for swimming, reef snorkeling, paddleboarding and other water sports. A short drive away from the region’s Mayan ruins, the site’s rich Mayan history has influenced the entire project’s design. Mexico-based design company, Sordo Madaleno, has envisioned the site as a self-contained village, integrating the land’s unspoiled beauty and protecting the surrounding jungle, to offer an intimate connection with nature.

The residences, which incorporate organic materials and draw inspiration from the storied heritage of the region come in three categories; 13 five-bedroom Beachfront Estates located directly on the shoreline; 82 three and four-bedroom Grand Residences offering unparalleled mangrove and jungle views, and 32 two and three-bedroom Mangrove Cottages with vistas of dense mangroves and jungle canopies. The homes will also include high-end kitchens, expansive walk-in closets and upscale outdoor living features such as summer kitchens, private plunge pools, and spacious terraces.

Owners will enjoy exclusive amenities, including a dedicated private concierge, in-residence chef, on-demand personal shopper, on-site childcare services, tailored fitness training, in-residence spa treatments, and exclusive access to The Catamaran Club, a residents-only beachfront enclave. Co-located with the Residences will be the 300 room, The Ritz Carlton, Riviera Maya with luxury resort amenities, diverse programming, epicurean outposts and recreational opportunities.
