Set on the powdery sands of the Mayan Riviera, the Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya doesn’t disappoint, offering five-star seafront rooms with sweeping ocean views and decked out with local materials. For discerning travellers in want of a more secluded experience, here you can upgrade to the Impression™ Club, complete with butler service, exclusive restaurant access, plus a designated infinity pool and beach area. Just a hop and a skip over the turquoise sea is the Zoëtry Villa Rolandi Islas Mujeres Cancun with 35 ocean-facing suites, each with a private terrace, plus an array of Bvlgari® toiletries for bath-time pampering. At the Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, rustic suites are adorned with palapa roofs, cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors, with views that look out on the lush tropical gardens or sparkling Caribbean Sea. Elsewhere, holistic design inspired by Wood & Water, Bamboo and Blue Mountain – a nod to Jamaica’s ecological tapestry – can be found at Zoëtry Montego Bay Jamaica.
