NIZUC OVERVIEW

Sitting on 29 lush and protected acres of land, this Mayan-inspired resort and spa delivers tranquility and relaxation like no other. While Nizuc Resort & Spa is more suited for couples celebrating their union and relationship, don’t let that fool, the resort boasts adults-only villas, beach and pool areas, but they also have a supervised kids club that includes lots of activities and a pool perfect for the children to play in.

If you’re looking for uninterrupted adult time, the Ocean Suites are what you want to book, and if you’re traveling with kids, the Residence Suites are the choice for you. Of course, the resort also offers many upgrades for rooms with more space, amenities, and privacy.

SUITES

Sitting on a 29 acre property, Nizuc Resort & Spa has 274 suites that feature private pools, terraces, tropical gardens, free standing soaking tubs, and breathtaking views! Pick from ocean view, residence suites, or splurge on a private villa with infinity pools and indoor-outdoor showers!

NIZUC POOLS & BEACHES

I know what you’re really interested in, and I think it has something to do with the beaches and pools. Lucky for you, Nizuc Resort & Spa includes 3 different swimming pools, 2 beaches, and private plunge pools in most suites and villas. If you’re wanting more privacy, there are adult-only pools and beach access.

Cancun beaches rarely see many waves, so the area is perfect for kids wanting to play in shallower water. The resort also offers water excursions like kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling for anyone wanting to dive in a little deeper.

ANDREA’S TAKEAWAYS

Nizuc Resort & Spa is one of my favorites for those looking for a quiet getaways. Here are just a few reasons why I love Nizuc!

Black Bottom Pool - Something about their black bottom pool makes it feel sooo luxury. It's a weird detail to remember. but it sticks in my head.
Private Infinity Pool - The private infinity pool at the Master suite is AMAZING!! One of the largest I've seen in the Caribbean.
Poolside Eatery - I love the design at the poolside eatery... it's stunning. Feels upscale, but come in your coverup!! Right next to the adult only pool.
The Bar - It's so cozy and has the most gorgeous décor. Grab a cocktail here (and have a cigar if that's your thing) before or after dinner!
Explore the Beaches - Featuring two private beaches, this is an amazing place to truly relax and get some rays!
Treat Yourself at the Spa - This resort has one of the best spas in Cancun, with a variety of treatments and a great atmosphere to unwind in.
