The ultimate wow-factor of the Viceroy Riviera Maya is its astounding level of privacy. The ever-present possibility of emerging onto your own patio and plunging into your private pool is simply irresistible. However, while each of the 41 private villas at Viceroy Riviera Maya welcomes you to seclusion, the individual villas do have their own characteristics…

Choose your sanctuary: Select from a range of views, overlooking either the jungle or the ocean. Can’t decide between the two? Go for a partial view of both! And if you’re craving extra personal space, opt for a cabin with two-stories, offering up to 2,900 square footage.
