With walking paths through dense mangrove forests, terraces with leafy vines and tropical grass roofs, Etéreo Mexico seems to have grown out of its lush jungle surroundings. The interior design, created by top New York designers, is a perfect complement to the powder-soft sand and cobalt blue waters of the Riviera Maya. Whether you're fishing in a cabana by the sea, swaying in a hammock by the pool, or indulging in a traditional Mayan treatment at the spa, a dream vacation in a paradise on earth awaits you.
The Sana Spa focuses on the rich traditions of the Maya. The selection ranges from honey wraps and crystal healing to cocoa scrubs and classic massages. Courses in aerial yoga, chromatic breathing, and Reiki are also offered. The surrounding Mayan sites, with their beautifully restored temples and stone carvings, should also be high on your list. For water adventures, head to nearby Xcaret, a mix of eco-theme park and archaeological site. Or grab a stand-up paddleboard or kayak and head out to the kaleidoscopic reef.
All 75 accommodations, including 14 suites and four penthouses, offer magnificent views of the mangroves and the ocean through floor-to-ceiling windows. Both the architecture and interior design combine contemporary aesthetics with local craftsmanship and natural textiles. The studio-style rooms feature large terraces, many with private plunge pools, while the spacious suites also offer an outdoor living area and attentive butler service. For the ultimate in luxury, choose the Ocean Suite with Sky Deck and hot tub, while families and larger groups can opt for a penthouse with up to three bedrooms.
The resort's five restaurants offer fresh takes on local classics, without losing sight of the rich Mayan culture. Visit El Changarro, a beachfront taqueria, for an excellent shrimp tostada and ceviche. Che Che serves excellent Japanese-Peruvian cuisine, while the main restaurant, Itzam, impresses with dishes such as kampachi crudo in pickled Yucatán lemon, wild shrimp, and blackened avocado. The hotel's bar specializes in Mexican spirits, and at the El Carrito café bar, you can enjoy steaming coffee and warm churros.
Etéreo means "spiritual" or "heavenly" and invites you to enjoy a dream vacation on the picturesque Riviera Maya. The idyllic resort with 75 accommodations is located on an extensive mangrove forest that stretches across 3.5 hectares of white sandy beaches. The unique experience that defines Etéreo is shaped by Mayan philosophies and based on three pillars: exceptional cuisine, breathtaking encounters with nature, and an Auberge spa that will guide you to a whole new level of well-being with ancient practices. Dotted with works by renowned Mexican artist Manuel Felguérez, the symbolism and inherent spirituality of this luxurious estate permeate every area. With architecture by Migdal Arquitectos and interior design by New York studio Meyer Davis, the resort brings the splendor of its surroundings indoors through the use of local materials such as lava stone, copper, and native tzalam wood. Each ocean-view suite is also furnished with carefully selected furniture, as well as pillows, towels, and rugs made by Mexican artisans.
