Excellence Playa Mujeres, Cancún & Isla Mujeres
A luxe adults-only flagship with a private beach.
Excellence Playa Mujeres is the flagship of the adults-only Excellence collection, set on a quiet stretch of beach just north of Cancún. Every room is a suite, and the resort is known for its lazy river, its many restaurants and a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere.
My go-to adults-only all-inclusive near Cancún.
Where you’ll be
Playa Mujeres is a calm, gated area north of Cancún's hotel zone, looking out toward Isla Mujeres. It is around half an hour from Cancún airport, close enough for an easy arrival but far from the crowds.
The stay
Suites are spacious, many with terraces, plunge pools or ocean views. Days revolve around the beach, the pools, the lazy river and the spa, with a wide choice of restaurants and bars included in the stay.
