Mayan Riviera, Mexico
NIZUC Resort and Spa

An Elegant, Soulful and Restorative Resort
Firmly on everyone’s ‘hot list’ this year, and tucked into a secluded area north of Playa del Carmen, approaching Cancun (15-minutes from the airport too) in Punta Nizuc, this resort feels a world away from the busy hotel strip just to the north of it.
NIZUC’s architect Alejandro Escudero has designed a hotel that is open and airy (with 109 pools no less) as opposed to building up, like many of the high rise business hotels have done further up the coastline. This has a more positive and easing effect on you, where you feel more connected to the ocean, space and nature surrounding the hotel. Combining sophisticated and organic furnishings throughout, it’s informal yet intrinsically elegant.
The resort’s collection of spacious suites come with the expected level of modern amenities and luxury with outdoor verandas and most come with sweeping ocean views too.
As well three infinity pools, NIZUC spreads its service onto two swimmable white-sanded beaches, offering plenty of water based activities too. Six restaurants spoil you for choice in terms of where to dine every day; the Chef’s Table, Mediterranean at Terra Nostra, Far Eastern delicacies at Indochine, contemporary Mexican at Ramona’s, surf and turf at La Punta Grill, refreshing Peruvian creations at Ni, and substantial breakfasts at Café La Playa.
Apart from eating, there is the all-important and vast NIZUC ESPA Spa where you should also treat yourself to their extensive and first class menu of experiences. Choose from another boundless menu, the activities one, for cultural excursions, active pursuits and events.

Places to combine NIZUC Resort and Spa with

Peru
Located within the historical heart of Arequipa, Palacio Guaqui was once the manor house of the Count of Guaqui from the 19th to the 20th century. This beautifully restored mansion forms part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, recognised for its cultural and architectural significance.
Every detail of Palacio Guaqui’s restoration reflects a deep respect for its original structure and surrounding environment. Peruvian artisans, using innovative and sustainable techniques, have preserved the mansion’s authentic charm while crafting an elegant retreat that feels timeless yet modern. Each suite in this boutique hotel is a sanctuary of refined design, offering spacious, warm and inviting interiors. The serene ambiance of the three courtyards invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Arequipa.
The hotel’s restaurant pays homage to the region’s culinary traditions, serving exquisite dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients. The cosy atmosphere provides the perfect setting to savour authentic flavours of Peru, while a varied buffet breakfast ensures a delicious start to the day. For a more private dining experience, room service delivers the same level of culinary excellence to your suite. For those on the move, the hotel offers thoughtfully prepared lunch boxes, allowing you to carry a taste of Arequipa wherever your adventures takes you. Meanwhile the 24-hour bar provides an array of beverages and light snacks at any time of the day or night.
