SLS Playa Mujeres (Ennismore)
The verdant, natural coastline of Playa Mujeres serves as the enviable backdrop to the resort’s 498 rooms and suites, each with a private balcony, terrace or garden with swim-out pool. Guestrooms are set across 16 categories, ranging from the 50 sqm Delight Guestroom to the 560 sqm 3-bedroom The Envy Suite, as well as the all-new Elite category, which grants guests exclusive access to VIP dining and entertainment experiences, as well as an array of bespoke amenities and benefits.
Playa Mujeres will welcome 18 exquisite culinary and mixology venues, including the much-loved marquee destinations Fi’lia, Cleo and Privilege, familiar to long-standing SLS-fans and regulars. Menus showcase a range of cuisines including Greek, French, Japanese and Mexican, with an array of palette-piquing flavours matched only by the mix of atmospheres on-hand: from a Mediterranean beach club and a hidden cocktail bar to fine dining and poolside fare.
Entertainment is key to the SLS experience and is amplified at Playa Mujeres, seamlessly woven throughout the resort to create unforgettable moments; whether that’s a family movie in the state-of-the-art cinema, head-turning cabaret, or perfectly curated beats that carry halcyon sunny days into nights spent dancing under endless star-studded skies.

For younger guests, there are dedicated areas designed specifically for each age group from toddlers to teens and complemented by a thoughtful programme of extraordinary experiences characterized by the playful SLS spirit. And while the kids are building sandcastles using Mayan architectural principles or carving out the first steps of a future DJ career, adults are free to escape to the blissful Ciel spa, a serene 1,890 sqm space featuring thermal baths, 20 treatment rooms, tranquil outdoor pool, salon and a state-of-the-art gym.
At SLS, even the meeting spaces are designed to delight, and Playa Mujeres takes things to the next level. A lavish alternative to cookie-cutter conference and events venues, the property will offer 2217 sqm of customisable event space with seven flexible rooms suited to everything from conferences and presentations to chic cocktail receptions and celebrations for up to 920 guests. For anyone looking to take blue sky thinking a little more literally, there is an outdoor theatre that lends a tropical flair to the TED talk.
And when the balmy, jasmine-scented air turns thoughts to romance, the resort is perfectly placed to host dreamy wedding experiences; from ceremonies on the sugar-white sands to candle-lit rehearsal dinners and stylish bridal brunches set amid tropical gardens. Throw in myriad opportunities for water and land sports, as well as yacht excursions from the private marina, and SLS has the ultimate wedding experience.

Just a few miles north of Cancún, Playa Mujeres is a private gated waterfront community on the continental coast of Isla Mujeres. One of the most desirable coastlines in the Mexican Caribbean, it offers uncrowded white-sand beaches, tropical rainforest environment, and easy access to the Great Mayan Reef – the second largest in the world – via the resort’s marina.
The area’s lush natural flora also frames the Playa Mujeres Golf Club, an ecologically friendly championship 18-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman and located just five minutes away from the hotel. Intrepid adventurers can also discover the rich history and culture of the Mayan civilization with day trips to ancient Mayan sites of Chichen Itza, Tulum or Coba.
Since the opening of its first property, SLS Beverly Hills, in 2008, SLS has continued to break the mould of luxury hospitality; standing as a place to see and be seen, and the home of opulent interiors and unexpected experiences. These distinctive hallmarks of the brand have been the driving force behind its successful expansion, guiding it towards new frontiers in some of the world’s most glamorous destinations including Miami, Dubai, Buenos Aires, and Bahamas. The upcoming opening of SLS Playa Mujeres is a key milestone for the brand, marking SLS’s first strut into the all-inclusive resort experience.

The Boca Raton, South Florida's iconic private club and resort, announces the debut of the reimagined Beach Club, with reservations available beginning December 2024. When the $120 million investment is complete, the luxury oceanfront escape will seamlessly connect to its golden beach backdrop through a stunning redesign and curated experiences. Resort guests and club members will set their own pace at Beach Club with new restaurants, a cocktail lounge and café, new fitness facility, dynamic oceanside event spaces, and a transformation of guest rooms and suites overlooking a half-mile stretch of private beach along the Atlantic Ocean.
Beach Club at The Boca Raton
“Beach Club has long been recognized as one of the most coveted beachside resort destinations in South Florida, and this evolution is poised to captivate a whole new category of discerning travelers while appealing to our legacy guests,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton. “We are partnering with top designers and leading industry minds to create intriguing new offerings that will inspire. The new Beach Club will reflect the very best in design, dining, and experience—at the only beachfront resort in Boca Raton.”
Beach Club's 210 spacious guest rooms and suites will showcase a spectacular design that blurs the lines between interiors and outdoors, complete with floor-to-ceiling ocean or Intracoastal views. The light-filled accommodations will embrace the sea breeze and natural textures, including honed marble and cerused woods complemented by vibrant coral velvet accents. Among the elevated in-room amenities, a wet bar with water filtration system will invite guests to stay hydrated on the go. Beach Club will triple its quantity of suites, including the Grand Suite + Lanai that features one- and two-bedroom options that flow into expansive outdoor poolside living spaces with lounge seating, granting guests easy access to the fresh salt air from their private patios.

INSPIRED DINING
Beach Club will offer distinct oceanfront food and drink options.
The property's beloved culinary destination, Marisol, will see a newly designed indoor-outdoor setting serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner just steps from the ocean. Fresh Mediterranean fare will appeal to the whole family. And after dinner, Marisol's bar—a dramatic centerpiece of the restaurant's design—will be a social hub to enjoy curated cocktails prepared with precision. Inspired by iconic coastal destinations, a new sand-side dining experience, Onda, will spotlight a new culinarian each winter season. In its opening season, guests at Onda will dine on classic island flavors.
Located just beyond Beach Club's entrance, Living Room will feature world-class mixologists hand-crafting elegant evening aperitifs amid a mesmerizing atmosphere that begets intimate conversations.
