Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya

In the heart of Mexico's Riviera Maya, Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya provides a dramatic backdrop for meetings and incentive trips. Nestled on 45 acres of mangrove forest and crystal-clear waterways within a luxurious resort community, this Riviera Mayan hideaway fuses modern business facilities with stunning natural surroundings and Mayan mystique.

The resort's 40,000 square feet of meeting space, set steps from the Caribbean Sea, offers a multitude of flexible venues. Inside, the 10,000-square-foot Riviera Grand Ballroom is ideal for state-of-the-art presentations and grand banquets, while the 13,000-square-foot Isla Event Lawn hosts outdoor events. Also onsite, several executive boardrooms and a business center.

Lanchas, or covered boats, provide transportation between the resort's 401 guestrooms, three restaurants and four pools. Electric golf carts, bicycles and meandering trails also allow easy access between resort amenities.

Area recreation abounds, including trips to Xcaret Wildlife Reserve and the Mayan ruins at Chichen-Itza. Team-building activities include a forest zip line, cave diving, horseback riding, and every water sport imaginable along Riviera Maya's string of beaches. Mayan-inspired treatments at the Willow Stream Spa or a round of golf at El Camaleón, the first Mexican course to host the PGA Tour, occupy additional downtime.
