Palmaïa sits at the southern end of Playa del Carmen, between the ocean and 400 hectares of virgin jungle. There are no roads to it. Guests arrive through a neighbouring resort, and the jungle closes in behind seven buildings that stand between the paths and the beach. Cancún airport is about 45 minutes away.

All 234 suites are free of animal products and designed around the natural elements. Four themed restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner à la carte, and room service runs 24 hours.
The days are built around AïA Wellness, a programme inspired by Mayan traditions and arranged in four pathways, with more than 50 holistic activities in the rate and Rituals of Sound music sessions. Atlantis Spa sits among rock formations, cenotes and mangroves, and Eolo Beach Club has its own premium bar. One-on-one sessions with healers and teachers cost extra.
It suits travellers who want a single all-inclusive rate and a retreat in the jungle rather than a pool party.
