Photo Tour of Rivera Maya's Hottest New Boutique Resort, La Casa de la Playa

La Casa de la Playa is a new all-inclusive boutique resort with only 63 suites. The resort opened in December of 2021 and features tons of exclusive perks for guests. In fact, because it is owned by Hoteles Xcaret, all guests at La Casa de la Playa have access to all the Xcaret parks, as well as access to Hotel Xcaret Mexico and Hotel Xcaret Arte. Read on through this slideshow to see the key features of this luxury resort.

Guests arrive in an open-air lobby complete with beautiful views of the blue Caribbean water. Upon checking in to the resort, your butler will then guide you to your suite and give you a walkthrough of important features of the room.

La Casa de la Playa features 63 total suites in a variety of categories: Wellness Suite, Ocean View Suite, Wellness Ocean View Suite, Ocean Front Suite, Suite Ocean Front Wellness. Each of these rooms is 1,065 square feet.

La Casa de la Playa also features Master Suites and a Presidential Suite. The Master Suite is 2,723 square feet, and the Presidential Suite is 4,630 square feet.

The 40-meter swimming pool overlooks the stunning Caribbean waters. Its design helps make it look so picturesque no matter what angle you're at around the resort.

No all-inclusive pool is complete without a nearby bar. Here guests can find the booze of their choice or have the bartender mix up special cocktail creations.

Perhaps the best views of the entire resort, the rooftop sky bar and pool may be the most frequented spot for some guests. You can easily eat, drink and relax here all day.

For those who don't want to sit and relax all day, head over to the other rooftop area of the resorts to play some tennis or racquetball.

La Casa de la Playa's gym features state-of-the-art equipment for anyone who wants to continue their workout regime during their stay.

A 24-hour tequila and mezcal bar is the stuff of dreams, right? You can visit this bar anytime you want and take a shot, sit and have a drink, hook up your phone to the Bluetooth speakers for a party vibe, or just grab a bottle and take it back to your room.

Cava, the 24-hour wine cellar on property is filled with fantastic Mexican wines, as well as some champagne. You can set up a wine tasting session with the sommelier or grab a bottle and just take it back to your room. Premium champagne, like Dom Pérignon, is available for purchase.

A 24-hour chocolate room filled with so many sweet treats you won't know where to begin. Master chocolatier and designer Mao Montiel put together a terrific array of Mexican chocolate options for guests to grab whenever they want.

Every guest gets a complimentary hydrotherapy session. Massages cost extra here but they're definitely worth it. The moveable massage beds adjust to your body for maximum comfort, and the views from the massage rooms are unbeatable. There are also two salt rooms and two mudrooms.

Open for dinner, these restaurants come from the Rivera-Río brothers. Centil is all about cuisine from the South of Mexico, and Lumbre is all about flavors from the North of Mexico.

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Estero blends flavors from Mexico and Peru. (Wagyu steak for lunch, anyone?) The menu was created by Virgilio Martínez, who is the owner of Central restaurant in Peru, which was named "Greatest Restaurant in Latin America 2013-2021" in The World's 50 Best Restaurants ranking. The restaurant is open-air concept, and you can see the chefs in action as they make your meal.

Also open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu at Tuch de Luna was created by celebrity chef Martha Ortiz. It features an "elegant, subtle and artistic proposal that exalts the flavors of Mexico."

This library is a cozy place to sit and read your own book or grab one of the options on the shelves. Guests can enjoy a gourmet coffee, or a liquor recommended by the sommelier. There are also two iMac computers and a printer for anyone who needs internet access or to print out documents.

No resort is complete without a store to shop from, right? This store features Mexican art and textile creations by talented designer Carla Fernández.

Part of the luxury experience here at La Casa de la Playa includes transportation in a Tesla. The resort will pick you up from the airport in the Tesla and if you want to drive around to one of the parks or the other hotels on property, you will do so in style in this luxury vehicle.

Like Hotel Xcaret Mexico and Hotel Xcaret Arte, guests at La Casa de la Playa have access to all of Xcaret's parks: Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, Xenses, Xoximilco, Xenotes and Xavage. However, La Casa de la Playa guests have special benefits here, like experiencing an underground river excursion at Xcaret before the park opens to anyone else, private dinners in a cenote or a backstage tour and a special curated dinner for the Xcaret México Espectacular night show.

La Casa de la Playa has plenty of beach space available. You won't find loads of beach chairs here, but you can have your butler set you up with a spread of pillows to lounge on the beach.
