The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya presents a rare opportunity to own within one of the most extraordinary remaining stretches of protected coastline in the Mexican Caribbean. Nestled between CancĂșn and Tulum, this private beachfront sanctuary brings together luxury real estate, preserved nature, world-class hospitality, wellness, culinary experiences, and the legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton brand.
Set across approximately 180 acres of preserved beachfront, tropical jungle, mangrove ecosystems, and natural dune systems, the community includes nearly 500 meters of pristine Caribbean shoreline. With less than fifteen percent of the site designated for development, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya offers an exceptionally low-density ownership experience designed around privacy, nature, and long-term scarcity.
Developed through RMLA, Oleum Joint Venture, S. de R.L. de C.V., the community is brought to life by internationally recognized design and planning teams. Architecture is led by Sordo Madaleno under the direction of Andrés Cajiga, with landscape architecture by RMLA ensuring a seamless relationship between the built environment and the surrounding ecosystem.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya is envisioned as a self-contained coastal village where branded residential ownership meets hospitality, wellness, culinary programming, and ecological preservation. Rather than a traditional resort development, the community has been carefully master-planned to feel immersive, private, and deeply connected to place.
The residential collection is limited to only 127 fully furnished branded residences across three distinct ownership categories: Beachfront Estates, Grand Residences, and Mangrove Cottages.
The Beachfront Estates represent the most exclusive ownership opportunity within The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya. Limited to only thirteen residences, these three-level homes offer five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, approximately 395 square meters of interior living space, expansive outdoor terraces of approximately 93 square meters, private plunge pools, direct beach access, and uninterrupted Caribbean Sea views.
Positioned along the shoreline, the Beachfront Estates deliver a rare level of privacy, scale, and immediate connection to the water â ideal for buyers seeking a trophy beachfront residence in Riviera Maya.
The Grand Residences include eighty-two fully furnished residences designed for owners seeking refined coastal living supported by Ritz-Carlton service. Available in two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and three-bedroom plus den configurations, these residences range from approximately 151 to 196 square meters.
With ocean, oasis, and sunset views, the Grand Residences are available in both single-level and two-level layouts, offering a sophisticated and effortless ownership experience in one of Mexicoâs most desirable luxury destinations.
The Mangrove Cottages offer a private and immersive connection to the surrounding natural environment. Limited to thirty-two residences, these fully furnished homes feature three bedrooms plus a den, four full bathrooms, one half bathroom, and interiors ranging from approximately 276 to 281 square meters.
Set within the preserved landscape, the Mangrove Cottages are designed for buyers who value privacy, architectural sophistication, ecological integration, and a more secluded Riviera Maya residential experience.
A defining feature of The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya is its elevated culinary program. Food and beverage experiences are not treated as secondary amenities, but as an essential part of daily life within the community.
In collaboration with TalentChef, the project introduces a curated collection of dining and social venues including Aldea, Nativo Farmhouse, Excursion Lounge, CookLab, Nomada Beach Club, Terra Venado, Sagrado, Rito, Secreto Speakeasy, Maize, Ama, Santera Beverage Lab, and additional gathering spaces designed to celebrate regional ingredients, culture, and hospitality.
The master plan is created for owners seeking more than a luxury residence. It is designed for a complete lifestyle rooted in wellness, nature, privacy, culinary discovery, and the globally recognized service standards of The Ritz-Carlton.
Located along the Mexican Caribbean between CancĂșn and Tulum, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya offers access to one of the most desirable luxury real estate corridors in Mexico. Owners are positioned near world-class beaches, Mayakoba, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, CancĂșn International Airport, private wellness retreats, golf, dining, and the broader Riviera Maya lifestyle.
