With nearly 300 suites and an address in Cancún’s Zona Hotelera, NIZUC Resort & Spa is no pocket-sized boutique. But nor is it the typical Cancún resort. This corner of the coast is actually pretty spectacular, and it’s ever so slightly removed from the string of resorts lining the shore just to the north. Indeed Punta Nizuc, a mangrove-shaded piece of land that juts out into the Caribbean, faces one of the world’s largest barrier reefs, and reportedly served as a favorite stargazing spot for ancient Mayan astronomers. With a little concentration it’s possible to feel a bit like you’re on a private island, rather than on an extension of Mexico’s mega-resort zone.
Still, NIZUC Resort & Spa comes with its share of resort-caliber features, from a state-of-the-art spa to two private beaches and a series of sparkling swimming pools, some reserved for adults only. Suites and private villas come with the works: Egyptian cotton sheets, state-of-the-art electronics, spacious bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and rainfall shower heads, in-room espresso machines and private balconies. With carved wooden screens, striking framed artwork, and plenty of greenery, they’re several steps up, style-wise, from the generic Cancún resort aesthetic. The Ocean Suites are downright spectacular, featuring wide-open views over the sea, while Garden Pool Villas trade off the gorgeous vistas for private patios with infinity pools.
Six restaurants represent a range of world cuisines, including high-end Mexican, Peruvian, and Italian options. But perhaps the most memorable dining experience at NIZUC, if you can swing it, is a private table for two at the foot of the resort’s lovely pier. Downtown Cancún is only a few miles away, and the biggest resorts less than a mile in the other direction — but as you dine under the stars you’d be hard pressed to remember the existence of either one.
