Following the strong excitement generated by the announcement of Royalton Vessence Barbados and the remarkable reception of its forward-thinking concept, Royalton Hotels & Resorts is ready to unveil its next chapter: Royalton Vessence Cancun.
This adults-oriented resort will introduce a new expression of art, design, and sensory connection to the all-inclusive landscape. Scheduled to open in Winter 2026, it represents the continued expansion of the Royalton Vessence Resorts brand and its growing momentum across the Caribbean.
Royalton Vessence is a next generation brand designed to reveal the true essence of each destination. Inspired by the Latin veritas essentia, the concept blends local culture with contemporary serenity through art, design, and sensory connection.
Signature elements include digital detox spaces, late night swim areas, and life enriching activities such as cooking classes, wine pairings, and cultural immersions.
The result is a calm modern environment where guests can slow down, reconnect, and experience a more thoughtful style of all-inclusive travel. As an adult-oriented concept, it becomes an ideal setting for families with older teens, groups of friends, couples, or travellers simply seeking a stay centred on presence, balance, and mindful living.
Located just 25 minutes from Cancun International Airport, the resort will offer 376 suites, half of them Presidential Suites within the Royalton Suites & Villas exclusive tier.
These Presidential Suites feature a main bedroom plus a separate area equipped with two full size single Royalton signature DreamBed™ mattresses in a Murphy bed style, adding comfort and flexibility without compromising space. Guests may also connect a Presidential Suite with a Double Junior Suite, creating a guaranteed configuration that is unique in the market. This design sets a new standard for spacious and versatile accommodations in the all-inclusive segment.
“Royalton Vessence Cancun reflects our commitment to creating stays that are locally inspired and artfully designed, inviting guests to experience the true essence of a destination,” said Jordi Pelfort, President of Royalton Hotels and Resorts. “Travellers today want more spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully crafted accommodations, and this resort delivers that through calm modern design, sensory driven moments, and a deeper cultural connection. The strong reception of Royalton Vessence Barbados has reinforced the relevance of this new brand, and we are confident that Cancun will elevate it even further.”
Beyond its accommodations, Royalton Vessence Cancun will cultivate an atmosphere of calm and creativity through its eight dining outlets, a coffee shop, and six bars, including a wine and spirits tasting room that celebrates the art of flavour. Each space will be thoughtfully designed to highlight the natural beauty and rhythm of the Mexican Caribbean, offering guests a culinary and social journey that encourages presence and connection by the sea.
Adding to its appeal, the resort will feature an exclusive rooftop that blends international cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and panoramic views in an atmosphere of effortless sophistication. From curated culinary stations to a serene poolside ambiance, the rooftop will capture the creative spirit of Cancun through personalized service and timeless design.
Signature concepts such as The Studio will further embody the essence of the brand. By day, The Studio hosts curated workshops in art, pottery, painting, and culinary expression. As night falls, it transforms into an intimate stage for live music sessions under the stars, where conversation and rhythm come together in a setting designed to awaken the senses.
Set along the stunning shores of the Mexican Caribbean, Royalton Vessence Cancun will combine refined comfort, contemporary aesthetics, and locally inspired touches that celebrate the destination’s vibrant culture. As Royalton Hotels & Resorts celebrates its 15th anniversary, the debut of this resort forms part of the brand’s ongoing evolution in Mexico, alongside transformative projects such as Royalton Riviera Cancun, underscoring a continued focus on innovation, design, and elevated guest experiences.
In line with this Vessence addition, the new Royalton Riviera Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort & Casino, and the Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort – Adults Only have also welcomed their first guests, signalling the formal start of a new direction for Royalton Hotels & Resorts in the destination. These properties bring enhanced offerings and a more elevated interpretation of the all-inclusive experience to one of Mexico’s most sought-after coastlines. These properties have undergone an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation that encompasses suites, restaurants, entertainment venues, pools, and public spaces. The result strengthens the sense of connection the property has always inspired while introducing a modern vision that opens the door to greater possibilities for all styles of travel.
