Located on the white sands of the Riviera Maya in Mexico and nestled in the tropical forest, The Tides Riviera Maya, is the resort counterpart of being invited to an exclusive private villa and stunning spa.
Hidden in a small village of Playa Xcalacoco just outside Playa del Carmen, along the pearlescent sands of the Riviera Maya, The Tides, formerly Ikal Del Mar, is a seaside refuge extending deep into the primitive Maya tropical forest. The 30 villa property and its stunning spa present the epitome of Maya Riviera beach unpretentious luxury, exuding the ambience of an exclusive private Playa del Carmen villa or opulent residential compound.
Touted as "a sexy, eco-conscious hideaway in the jungle" by Travel + Leisure magazine, the Riviera Maya resort's design respects and accentuates the pristine qualities of its dramatic jungle and seaside setting. Intimate and serene features blend seamlessly into the dense tropical foliage, dining is available both indoors and outdoors, and yoga classes and spa treatments overlook coastal splendor.
Guests are personally welcomed upon arrival to the Playa del Carmen resort and led through the tropical forest paths to their villa. The palapa-roofed, stucco bohíos, or villas, are decorated with an eye to the sophisticated simplicity of Maya aesthetics, utilizing natural materials throughout: louvered-mahogany doors and windows, sisal rugs, and canopy beds with hand-stitched Egyptian cotton linens. Bath areas are especially spacious with indoor and outdoor showers, his-and-hers sinks and closets, and Molton Brown amenities.
The Tides Riviera Maya will enchant the artistically inclined as much as the romantic couple. A magical corner of the resort boasts two natural caverns and a cascading waterfall - perfect fodder for a painter's inspired eye. Another intimate corner, set in jungle lushness, provides comfortable rustic furniture to ease the writer's introspective journey. And a third corner, nestled beneath shady trees and flanked by walls of creamy stone, offers inviting benches and camastros (chaise lounges) ideal for the reader's daydreaming spirit.
A visit to The Tides justifies its positioning as an eco-friendly resort.
