Magic Blue Spa Boutique HotelCancun, Mexico

In-the-water loungers, a sleek wooden sun terrace and an Instagrammable backdrop of palm trees – the adults-only Magic Blue Spa Boutique Hotel ticks off the lot. The location hits the jackpot here. It’s right next to Cancun’s Fifth Avenue, which is famous for its trendy shops, bars and nightlife. You’ve also got a creamy-white beach overlooking the Caribbean Sea only a few minutes’ walk away. Elsewhere, there’s a swish pool area where you can catch a tan from a squashy sunlounger. The pool bar serves up cold drinks. And the hotel restaurant deals in Mexican and vegan cuisine.

Location

On Mexico’s sun-soaked Caribbean coast, Playa del Carmen – or just Playa – was popularised by backpackers who came for its spotless beaches and coral reefs. This mellow fishing town has developed quickly in the space of a few years with an extra cluster of hotels in Playacar to the south of town. But it’s still a world apart from swaggering Cancun, its nearest neighbour up the coast.

Facilities

Despite its busy Cancun location, the Magic Blue Spa Boutique Hotel majors in quiet, rainforest-style getaways. The pool’s surrounded by thick jungle and decked out with a wooden terrace and bar. The restaurant shines a spotlight on traditional Mexican cuisine. And the spa comes up trumps with pampering treatments and a whirlpool. Pool Rooms here all come with a balcony or terrace with an outdoor hammock. Inside, you'll find a king-sized bed or 2 double beds, depending on your room type. Plus, there's air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a plasma TV, minibar* and nespresso machine. All rooms come with a garden or pool view.
