BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN RIVIERA MAYA

In order to preserve Mexico's natural beauty and to ensure that guests can enjoy our gorgeous beaches, we have implemented an environmentally-friendly program at Vidanta Riviera Maya to remove sargassum—a kind of seaweed that’s been accumulating all over the world in recent years. These efforts include the construction of a barrier that is designed to catch the sargassum before it reaches the beach and use a specialized boat to collect the Sargassum buildup. We then compost all collected sargassum. This innovative program ensures that our beaches remain pristine and Mexico’s marine life is protected. We can’t wait for you to experience our swimmable shores at Vidanta Riviera Maya, now cleaner than ever!

RIVIERA MAYA IS EARTHCHECK MASTER CERTIFIED

After 15 years of meeting—and often exceeding—the rigorous benchmarks put in place by EarthCheck, the world's leading authority on sustainability within the hospitality industry, Vidanta Riviera Maya has received Master Certification. It is the only resort in Mexico to receive this prestigious status, and one of only 21 places in the world. We are proud to continue to lead the way forward in the area of environmentally responsible vacationing.
