Conde Nast Traveler: The 40 Best Resorts in Mexico: 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards

Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection is only a 30-minute drive from the Cancún airport, but this slice of heaven on the Riviera Maya feels light-years away from the chaos. The resort is incredibly family-friendly, but not in a way that sacrifices any of its sophistication. It’s the type of place where you stay put and enjoy everything it has to offer, like luxurious spa treatments, unique culinary experiences, and pool and beachside lounging, unless you’re going on one of the excursions organized by the hotel, which range from water activities, like cenote exploration and sailing to a tour of the local archaeological zones. Every single one of the 75 rooms is ocean-facing, with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors framing the view, and leading to private terraces perched above the mangroves. Couples and families with young kids looking for an easy, peaceful escape would do well to book a stay at this intimate property.
