Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique - All-Inclusive

Grab your clubs and sunscreen; the Mayan Riviera is calling! The all-inclusive Blue Diamond resort is nestled peacefully beside the teal and turquoise hues of the Caribbean surf and the baby-soft sands of Playa del Carmen. It's the kind of luxury that can only be found in a resort named to Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

If you've come down to stretch your swing, a great game of golf is always on tap at this posh, adult-only hideaway. Through a special arrangement with the resort, guests bask in the glow of complimentary greens fees at Grand Coral Golf Course Riviera Maya with 6,990 yards of tropical beauty and Nick Price-designed game play.

If you want to spend your time in the sand, an expansive white-gold beach affords guests a majestic chill-out atmosphere, where lush tropical foliage meets salt air and cool ocean breezes. Three onsite pools provide a sand-free location for waterside lounging or finding a thoughtful spot to read. A nearby bar satisfies any spontaneous beverage request you can dream up.

With four onsite restaurants to choose from, guests find scrumptious fare at every turn. Seafood doesn't get much fresher than at the beachfront Ceviche and Tapas Bar, and creatively fused International fare at Ambar is served overlooking the central lagoon. For some flavorful post-dining intake, try the rooftop Cigar Lounge, where you can find a world-famous assortment of stogies alongside an impressive list of wines and spirits. For a sweet, pastry-style nightcap, opt for Cafe Brule.

Live music plays every day at the Blue Diamond resort as a backdrop to a number of onsite activities such as Spanish lessons, wine tastings and the occasional table tennis competition. Take to the water on a kayak, or head to the resort's top-notch, full-service spa, which blends Mayan and Asian healing principles with full body massages, aromatherapy and facials. There are even classes for yoga, watsu and Pilates.

The Cenote Deluxe room, aptly named for its position right beside the resort's onsite cenote, sweetens the pot even further with a mini bar (restocked daily with premium liquors), a balcony or terrace, a daily array of tropical fruits and 24-hr room service. The Ribiera Junior Suite offers all of these amenities plus a plunge pool attached to the room's cozy terrace or balcony.
