Three Generations at Rosewood Mayakoba: Family Photos

In short

For a multigenerational family at Rosewood Mayakoba, start with the full group while everyone is fresh, keep grandparents in the shade and by a cart, then split into households. Plan on 75 to 90 minutes.

Rosewood has lagoon and beach villas of three to five bedrooms, and presidential suites of up to six, so big families often stay together. A session may be the only hour of the trip when everyone is dressed and in the same place.

The Order That Works

Everyone first. Take the full group in the first ten minutes, before anyone wanders off.

Grandparents next. A quiet portrait with the grandchildren, in shade and on firm ground, so they can then sit down.

Each household. Five to ten minutes per family.

The children, last. Let them loose on the sand, and we catch the laughter.

Where to Gather

A villa terrace or the Lagoon Lawn is easier for older relatives than soft sand. If the beach matters, we can bring grandparents by cart to the edge and keep the walk short. Choose a colour family rather than matching outfits. Our guide to multigenerational photos has more.
