I’m always on the lookout for properties that offer more than just a place to stay—I like when they create an experience. UNICO 20°87° Riviera Maya is one of those rare gems, perfectly situated between Cancun and Tulum along Mexico’s stunning Caribbean coast. Whether you fly into Cancun or the newer Tulum airport, you’ll find yourself in a prime location to explore the region’s vibrant culture, historic ruins, cenotes, and unforgettable excursions. This adults-only resort blends contemporary luxury with authentic local flavor in a way that feels effortlessly chic and deeply personal.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll sense that this isn’t your typical all-inclusive. With just 448 guest rooms, UNICO strikes the perfect balance between intimacy and indulgence. It never feels overcrowded, and with 90% of the rooms offering stunning ocean views, you’re almost guaranteed a front-row seat to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.
What makes UNICO so special, beyond the setting, is the vibe. It’s laid-back and refined at the same time. You can spend your days lounging by one of the three sparkling pools, sipping handcrafted cocktails at the swim-up bar, or indulging in a world-class treatment at the Esencia Spa. And if wellness is part of your vacation goals, you’ll find daily fitness classes, healthy menu options, and even yoga with an ocean breeze.
Each room category is thoughtfully designed, so whether you’re looking for a swim-up suite, an oceanfront escape with a hydro spa tub, or a more elevated panoramic view, there’s truly something for everyone. I love how the decor reflects the natural beauty of the region—earthy tones, local artwork, and soft textures that invite you to relax.
Another thing I love! The resort’s Local Host Service. Think of it as your personal concierge, available 24/7 to help with everything from dinner, tour or golf reservations and from excursions to customizing your minibar and everything in between. It’s that extra touch that makes your stay feel effortless and personalized.
Foodies will fall head over heels here. The dining options are diverse and delicious, from elevated Mexican cuisine to Japanese-inspired dishes, coastal Italian, and a casual café perfect for your morning coffee and pastries. Every bite is a celebration of flavor—and yes, the drinks are just as carefully curated.
UNICO also does a beautiful job of connecting guests to the culture of the Riviera Maya. Whether it’s through the art you see around the property, the locally inspired spa treatments, or curated excursions that take you beyond the resort gates, you always feel like you’re experiencing a true sense of place.
So if you’re dreaming of an adult-only getaway where modern luxury meets warm, personalized service—and where every sunrise feels like it was meant just for you—UNICO 20°87° Riviera Maya should be at the top of your list. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a celebration trip, or simply need some time to unwind in paradise, this resort delivers a soulful, stylish, and unforgettable experience.
