the right time for mexico

When we’re asked where people can travel right now, (and, yes, people are asking), our go-to answer is, “Mexico.”

Other destinations are open right now, but travel to and from Mexico is easy and, most importantly — safe. Currently, Mexico has a much lower per capita incidence of COVID than the US — only 4.7 cases per 100,000 population. (The US rate is 44 per 100,000—nearly 10 times the rate in Mexico). The resorts in Mexico have extraordinarily strong safety and sanitation protocols, including reduced capacity. And getting there is safe, too. Recent studies have indicated that air travel is extraordinarily safe because of the frequent filtration of air in the cabin, enforcement of wearing masks, and blocking of middle seats. (Middle seats aren’t blocked on every airline, but rest assured—we’ll take care of you!)

Not to mention that there are some phenomenal values, right now. If you’ve always wanted a luxury vacation, there are some phenomenal values right now. For example, let us introduce you to the Banyan Tree Mayakoba Resort—Riviera Maya’s only all-pool villa resort and the region’s most sustainable five-star resort. With an extraordinary blend of Mexican culture and Asian hospitality, it is a breathtaking sanctuary for the senses and the perfect getaway for relaxation, rejuvenation, romance, and world-class dining.

Between jungle and sea – separated by tropical lagoons from the vibrant playground that is the Riviera Maya, this ultra-exclusive property is the most private and provocative of the fine resorts that lie within chic Mayakoba, and offers a choice of one- to three-bedroom lagoon and beachfront All-Pool Villas. Each is specially designed to be not only a private paradise with secluded gardens and infinity-edge pools, but also a haven that allows guests to connect with nature while minimizing the ecological impact. Featuring an award-winning SPA and destination restaurant, it also boasts Latin America’s only PGA championship course, El Camaleón.

Yep. You heard us right — each room is a private villa. How’s that for social distancing?
