Prepare to be dazzled! When you arrive at Secrets Akumal, an AMResorts property, you are greeted in the lobby by the signature scent for the property and a staff that is dedicated to making sure you are indulged in a truly magical Unlimited-Luxury® experience.

Akumal means “Place of the Turtles” in Mayan. If you are lucky enough you may experience the Hatching of turtle nests around the property. Secrets Akumal is ideally located in the heart of the Riviera Maya along the famed white-sand beaches and picturesque waters of Akumal. This brand new, adults-only property marries elegant and original design with the natural beauty of a lush landscape. The natural elements used throughout the property create an exquisite luxury beachfront setting that is truly unmatched.

The carefully crafted architecture and layout of the property keeps everything within minutes of the centrally located lobby. The walkways use trees, tropical vegetation and streams of water that are cleverly situated throughout the property. Not to mention the expansive infinity pool and several smaller pools that create a soothing water oasis. The pristine beach is the perfect place to relax, kayak, paddleboard, snorkel (the world’s second largest barrier reef sits just 400 feet off the resort’s beach) and of course explore the sea turtle population who call Akumal home.

Secrets Akumal offers a unique collection of gourmet dining possibilities from around the world. Stylish bars and lounges offer guests a variety of experiences in both atmosphere and cuisine. With nine dining options, no night will be like the others. Each restaurant has its own flavor, experience and décor.

Nightly entertainment, wine and tequila tasting, cooking classes, sports and activities are listed in the daily entertainment program that is delivered to your room each night.
