The opening of Waldorf Astoria Cancun marked the first Waldorf Astoria hotel in the Mexican Caribbean. Set amongst the verdant green mangroves of the Yucatan Peninsula and situated on 100 acres of secluded coastline, the property is nestled between Cancun and the quiet fishing village of Puerto Morelos.
The resort features 173 exceptionally appointed guest rooms and suites for an unforgettable taste of Mexico. Inspired by the dramatic shadows cast by abundant local flora, the guest-room palette is fresh, calming, and neutral, layered with supple textures and accented with warm metal tones and glowing light features. Perfect for larger groups, the property’s 34 suites feature ample entertainment spaces including a living area, dining table, and connecting guest rooms, while the oceanfront one-bedroom presidential suite offers a dining area with seating for ten, a pool table, a library, and a screening room perfect for relaxing, with multiple balconies and two plunge pools. A selection of nine guest rooms and one suite also feature unique swim-up patios allowing guests direct access to a private outdoor swimming pool.
With menus crafted by consummate connoisseurs, guests can indulge and imbibe in a wide variety of dining options across five food and beverage venues. From the chic Peacock Alley Lounge to the signature restaurant, Malpeque, Waldorf Astoria Cancun offers refined dining experiences that span from light fare to expertly prepared regional and global dishes that showcase premier local ingredients. Guests will enjoy the aromas from Malpeque, the property’s signature seafood restaurant featuring freshly caught local fish; the all-day brasserie Chaya, for a more casual yet still refined experience; and the beach bar and grill JA’O, which offers bright, bold classic Mexican cuisine for families, couples, and groups.
The Waldorf Astoria Spa is a destination for holistic well-being. With more than 40,000 square feet, the spa features 21 indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, a salon, sauna, extensive thermal area, outdoor spa pool and garden, and exquisite relaxation lounges. The spa design is defined by an indoor-outdoor connection, with a lobby space featuring a circular sunken lounge area leading out to a lush outdoor landscape. Combining innovation with the tradition of the Mayan culture, a locally driven spa menu integrates a holistic approach to healing that focuses on both the spiritual and physical aspects of well-being, with a deep understanding of their interconnection. A spiritual menu offers a selection of ancestral ceremonies and therapies based on Mayan traditions carried out by the resort’s Shaman.
With vast offerings in indoor and outdoor event space, the possibilities for the perfect celebration in Cancun are endless at Waldorf Astoria Cancun. From the Waldorf Astoria Ballroom, which is the only oceanfront ballroom in Cancun, to the wedding pavilion with panoramic views, to the five breakout room spaces, each space is expertly designed and distinctive.
