Where the Yucatán meets the sea — 49 beachfront estates within Mexico's most preserved coastal masterplan.

Mandarin Oriental Residences, Kanai Riviera Maya is a collection of 49 oceanfront residential estates within the Kanai masterplan — a 249-hectare coastal destination along Mexico's Riviera Maya, of which only 9% will ever be developed. The residences occupy a 14-hectare enclave with 200 metres of dedicated beachfront, sitting alongside the Mandarin Oriental hotel, which brings 120 hotel keys, five food and beverage venues (including a signature collaboration with Chef Grant Achatz and The Alinea Group), and a 10,000-square-foot spa sanctuary. Architecture by Migdal Arquitectos draws on the natural forces and cultural symbolism of the Yucatán — cenotes, coastal jungle, and Mayan heritage — while interiors by Meyer Davis and spa environments by Esrawe Studio deliver warmth and material depth. Art curation by Bosco Sodi threads a Wabi Sabi sensibility through the shared spaces.

Highlights

  • 49 residences across 14 hectares of beachfront — Mandarin Oriental's first in Mexico
  • 91% of the 249-hectare Kanai masterplan permanently preserved as jungle, mangroves and coastline
