The Mahekal Beach Resort in Playa del Carmen has opened following a $10 million redesign.
The resort features 122 rooms in individual thatched-roof bungalows. Additional amenities include two new swimming pools, a seaside Jacuzzi, two renovated restaurants, and three new bars. All room types feature individual outdoor terraces and personal hammocks, with handlaid stone pathways leading to each door.
Inspired by the book GypSet Style by Julia Chaplin, Mahekal’s interior design is bohemian-gypsy infused with Mexican, colorful accents. Materials range from Missoni-esque fabrics in the lobby and fireplace seating area, to bright orange ping-pong tables and cobalt blue billiard tables in Boli’s, the main lobby bar and activity center. As a nod to the arts, Boli’s will feature the Color Condition artwork and sculptures made with colorful shredded plastic tablecloths.
