Holidays at Rosewood Mayakoba
Spend the most wonderful time of the year with your loved ones at Rosewood Mayakoba. Embrace the spirit of the season with unbridled joy and relish the spectacular holiday revelries amidst the verdant jungle and azure waters of Riviera Maya. Though this year will be slightly different, as we’ve all had to adapt to new standards for the health and well-being of others, we still believe that this holiday season will be filled with jubilation and heartfelt moments.
Our team has curated a series of activities and merriment for family and friends to enjoy at a safe distance. Each day will unfold with new surprises and planned activities such as making gingerbread houses with the Rosewood Explorers team, aromatherapy consultations at Sense Spa and even participating in Mayakoba’s 6th Annual Triathlon.

For families, there will be endless activities to do together, including movies on the beach, holiday pop-ups, themed cooking classes, private yacht excursions and of course hanging out with Santa Clause on the beach.
At the complimentary Rosewood Explorers’ Kids Club, our youngest guests will enjoy a range of locally inspired activities designed to spark creativity. Traditions will be explored through arts and crafts, from painting Mexican ceramics and fanciful Alebrije folk art to decorating piñatas and Yule logs. Little ones will adore building sandcastles, making tacos, performing in the Holiday Talent Show and sitting for silly self-portraits drawn by a local cartoonist.
