Overview


Rosewood Mayakoba is a 620-acre sanctuary that redefines the luxury resort as an ecological project. Designed by the firm three, the property is built across a complex network of freshwater lagoons and mangroves, utilizing local limestone and sustainably harvested wood. The architecture is "floating"—villas are either tucked into the jungle canopy or cantilevered over the water, connected by electric boat launches rather than roads. The design honors Mayan heritage through its use of geometry and natural light, ensuring that the 145 acres of protected mangroves remain the primary architectural feature, rather than the buildings themselves.
