CANCUN — The Ritz-Carlton brand is headed back to Cancun, this time as a 131-key luxury hotel developed and owned through a joint venture with FibraHotel and Fibra Danhos.

Slated to open in 2027, The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, Punta Nizuc will be part of a property complex that will also include 126 branded residences in a LEED certified building, developed by Beyond Ventures.

Located just 10 minutes from the airport, the property will feature an oceanfront pool complex, a destination spa, six gourmet restaurants and exclusive residential amenities, all serviced by The Ritz-Carlton. 

Brian King, President of Caribbean & Latin America for The Ritz-Carlton’s parent company, Marriott International, said Marriot is thrilled to bring the brand back to Cancun. 

“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. 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 travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation.”

The Ritz-Carlton brand first arrived in Cancun in 1993 with The Ritz-Carlton Cancun. It was then rebranded in 2022 as the Kempinski Hotel Cancun.
