EDOUARD GROSMANGIN, MANAGING DIRECTOR, ROSEWOOD MAYAKOBA 

Seasonal Whale Shark Excursion

From July through September, Rosewood Mayakoba introduces an ultra-luxury take on an extraordinary ocean adventure with the opportunity to swim alongside the majestic whale shark in the turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean. This exclusive small group experience, limited to just 10 guests, begins with an early morning departure led by expert guides who facilitate a responsible and thoughtfully guided encounter with the world’s largest fish. After time in the water, the journey continues to nearby Isla Mujeres where guests can relax on the beach, swim, and enjoy a light seaside lunch featuring fresh guacamole and ceviche. Ideal for families and groups of friends, this seasonal experience blends marine discovery with relaxed island time and creates a memorable summer highlight for families staying at Rosewood Mayakoba.

Curated Family Programming

Designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection, the Rosewood Explorers Club offers enriching experiences for young guests and families alike. From artistic workshops to immersive activities, each program blends fun with thoughtful discovery and tradition. Sense, A Rosewood Spa offers bespoke, age-specific treatments for kids. 

• DJ Masterclass: Discover the art of DJing as a DJ guides you through understanding beats, mixing techniques, and creating your own musical set. 
• Portrait Painting: Tap into your artistic side with a portrait painting session, set against the stunning backdrop of El Mirador.
• Pottery Workshop: Get creative by shaping and painting your own pottery pieces, a perfect activity for families to express their artistic flair.
• Outdoor Movie Nights: Gather under the night sky for family-friendly film screenings in a relaxed setting.
• Sense of Beginning - Kids' Spa Experiences - A custom collection for the young spa aficionado, including manicures, scalp and foot massages, and light facials, designed for children to enjoy a soothing and relaxing spa experience.

Residential-Style Accommodations  

Families settle into spacious suites and private villas, like the Beachfront Six-Bedroom Villa, designed with residential comfort and privacy in mind. Expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces, private plunge pools, and flexible multi-bedroom layouts allow families to gather, unwind, and reconnect, while still offering parents the option to retreat and recharge. While children are cared for through bespoke in-suite babysitting experiences – whether during an afternoon at the adults-only Aquí Me Quedo beach club or a candlelit dinner at La Ceiba Garden & Kitchen – parents enjoy precious moments of quiet, knowing their little ones are happily and attentively looked after.

24/7 Butler Servicer   

Central to the experience is Rosewood Mayakoba’s 24/7 Butler Service, which ensures every family member is cared for with intuitive ease. From arranging airport transfers with car seats already in place to coordinating babysitting for a night out, planning bespoke family itineraries, or surprising young guests with bubble baths, favorite snacks, or in-suite movie nights, butlers anticipate needs before they’re voiced. Unique requests – such as transforming a villa terrace into a starlit movie theater or organizing a last-minute birthday celebration complete with custom décor – are handled seamlessly, creating moments that feel both magical and entirely stress-free.
