Rosewood Mayakoba gives you a lagoon, docks and sunset colour on calm water. NIZUC gives you two private beaches and clean modern lines, closer to Cancun airport. Both are very private, and they look quite different in the gallery.
People deciding between the two most private resorts in this region often ask us this. They are about an hour apart, and they suit different pictures of the trip.
Rosewood Mayakoba
A protected reserve of lagoons and mangroves, arrivals by boat and suites with their own docks. Warm wood, deep green and a very natural look. The evening colour on the Lagoon Lawn is one of its real strengths.
NIZUC
274 suites and villas on 29 acres at Punta Nizuc, opened in 2013, with two separate beaches: one for families and one adults-only. Pale, contemporary architecture and clean lines. About 15 minutes from the airport, with no boat transfers. See our NIZUC photographer guide.
Rosewood Mayakoba, Through Our Lens
Real IVAE Studios work on this coast, so you can see how this light and water look on camera. It shows our work in the area, not necessarily at Rosewood Mayakoba.
Which to Choose
For a romantic, green and watery feel, Rosewood. For a sharper, more architectural look and a short transfer, NIZUC. Either way, we would plan around the last hour of the day.
How to Book
There are three steps. First, you send us your dates and the people involved. Second, we choose the hour from the real sun times for Rosewood Mayakoba on your dates, and we confirm the plan with you. Third, we shoot, and your private 4K gallery reaches you within one to three business days, while the trip still feels recent.
