The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya has officially opened its doors. Inspired by the neighboring 620-acre Sian Ka’an nature reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the resort is owned by Grupo Alhel and is a short drive from both Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. Designed by Mexican architectural firm Edmonds International with interiors overseen by Chapi Chapo Design, the resort has a circular exterior design inspired by the constellation Pleiades, resulting in ocean views from nearly every vantage point.

The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya has 124 rooms and 19 suites, including a 2,300-square-foot Presidential Suite, each offering ocean views and a private terrace or plunge pool. The rooms feature custom hanging mirrors, ceramic light pendants, and intricate walnut wood-carved headboards. All guests will also have access to the St. Regis Signature Butler Service.

The resort is home to a wide range of world-class restaurants and bars. The signature restaurant TORO by Chef Richard Sandoval is a bar and restaurant with a Latin-inspired menu; Chaya has a menu that combines local ingredients with Eastern Mediterranean culinary elements; the beachfront Riviera blends the South of France with the Mayan Riviera; and The Library is the perfect place to experience St. Regis’ signature ritual of afternoon tea while enjoying a tasting of Mexican chocolate. Additional venues include the intimate St. Regis Bar, the hidden speakeasy Jack’s Club, grab-and-go deli Pik Nik, and The Beach Club, which serves light bites.

In addition, guests can enjoy The St. Regis Spa, offering a wide range of treatments, access to the Athletic Club, and the hotel’s Beach Club.

The resort also boasts over 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space across six meeting venues. From the Astor Ballroom to the 7,300-square-foot Great Lawn, the resort can accommodate up to 600 guests for events of any kind.
