Impressions Moxché by Secrets
Ctra. Federal, Playa del Carmen
The all-inclusive Impressions Moxché is part of a larger Secrets complex, and guests benefit from everything the wider property has to offer: several pools, tons of restaurants, and a location on the edge of Playa del Carmen. But Impressions itself is more luxurious and intimate than its parent resort; it’s sequestered away from the rest of the hotel, and its pools and restaurants are exclusive to Impressions guests. Every room is a suite with plenty of room to spread out, with a private pool or hot tub on each terrace.

Rosewood Mayakoba, Carretera Federal 307, Playa del Carmen
A favorite of goop staffers for long-weekend retreats, this gorgeous indoor-outdoor spa is on its own private island. You arrive by crossing the Puente del Balneario (“spa bridge”) from the Rosewood Mayakoba resort, and the lush grounds include twelve treatment rooms and eight suites that all have private porches. Some facials are gentle and nurturing, while others, like the revitalizing Toning Ritual, in which a chilled mask is applied to the skin, are meant to intensely awaken your complexion.
