Nizuc Resort & Spa is a dreamy beach escape. The waterfront resort takes full advantage of its Caribbean Ocean views throughout its rooms and lush grounds, which pay contemporary homage to Cancun’s Mayan history.
The overall feel of the Cancun hotel is one of relaxed elegance, with high ceilings and straight lines set with the organic touches of rock, wood and tile. Dramatic up-lighting gives exterior stone walls a monumental look. Open architecture allows views and ocean breeze to flow throughout. Fire or water features create a dramatic and soothing balance in the open spaces with views of the ocean or surrounding mangroves. Floor-to-ceiling windows, terraces and balconies in each room ensure all guests enjoy the fresh air and vistas of the Caribbean jungle or ocean.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Nizuc offers a secluded stay, as it’s surrounded by 29 acres of protected mangrove jungle.
- Just off shore of Nizuc’s powdery white beaches, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — the second-largest such reef in the world, only behind the Great Barrier Reef — teems with sea life for snorkelers to discover.
- Nizuc Spa by ESPA is reason enough to book a stay at Nizuc. Signature services include the Mayan Cacao, during which warm cacao oil is poured onto the forehead, and the Nizuc Renewal, a sea salt and agave body scrub, warm stone treatment and scalp massage.
