Where the jungle meets the Caribbean Sea, The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai emerges as a sanctuary of modern luxury and elemental connection. Designed by acclaimed architect Ian Schrager in harmony with the Mayan landscape, this striking new property redefines barefoot sophistication. Every detail feels deliberate, immersive, and serene—a place where contemporary design, cultural depth, and natural wonder converge in perfect balance.
Set within the exclusive Kanai development on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, The EDITION is surrounded by over one hundred hectares of protected mangroves and pristine white-sand beaches.

The region’s ancient cenotes, Mayan ruins, and lush reserves are all within easy reach, making it an ideal base for exploration.
Begin the day with sunrise yoga overlooking the sea, followed by a dip in the infinity pool that seems to melt into the turquoise horizon. Explore the nearby area, dive into the crystalline cenotes of the peninsula, or enjoy curated cultural excursions that reveal the artistry and spirit of the Mayan world.
