Ritz-Carlton brand to make Cancun return

Slated to open in 2027, the upcoming Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, Punta Nizuc, will have an oceanfront resort and  residential condominiums, developed through a collaboration between three Mexican real estate developers.

Marriott International, through an agreement with FibraHotel, Fibra Danhos and Beyond Ventures, will bring The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, Punta Nizuc to the Mexican region. The property is slated to include a 131-key luxury hotel, developed and owned through a joint venture between FibraHotel and Fibra Danhos, along with 126 branded residences in a LEED-certified building, developed by Beyond Ventures.

“Marriott is thrilled to bring The Ritz-Carlton brand back to Cancun, as we continue aiming to meet the growing demand for luxury travel experiences and world-class branded residences,” Brian King, president of Caribbean and Latin America for Marriott International, said in a statement. “As one of the most important tourist destinations in Mexico and Latin America, Cancun and the Riviera Maya attract nearly 30 million visitors each year, drawn by stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife and rich cultural experiences. While this property is conveniently located 10 minutes from the airport, it feels a world away. Punta Nizuc offers an unmatched gateway to the beauty of the Riviera Maya. Cancun’s unique blend of natural beauty, modern amenities, and a diverse range of activities—from exploring ancient Mayan ruins to enjoying world-class dining—make it a truly extraordinary destination for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.”

In a joint statement, the development partners shared: “We are extremely proud to announce this joint venture between FibraHotel, Fibra Danhos, and Beyond Ventures. Together, we are shaping the future of luxury hospitality and residential experiences in Cancun. Our investment is a testament to Cancun’s growing potential, introducing visitors and residents to the vibrant culture, natural beauty, and renowned hospitality that Mexico has to offer. Whether for a vacation or as a second home, The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, Punta Nizuc will redefine luxury living and hospitality in the region.”

The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, Punta Nizuc's design will be led by the architectural firms Lissoni & Partners and Cherem Arquitectos. It will include an oceanfront pool complex, a destination spa, six restaurants and residential amenities, all serviced by The Ritz-Carlton.
