- Palmaia The House of AiA

Strategically situated at the tail end of the most beautiful beach in the Riviera Maya, The House of AïA brings us Palmaïa, an exclusive beach enclave focused on connecting us to nature, ourselves, and the sanctity of life. Every effort was taken to ensure the original landscape remains untouched to feel the healing authenticity of old-growth trees and naturally occurring, cool-water cenotes. All guests reside in ocean-front suites: some with swim-out access to the infinity pools, others with sweeping views of the sea, and a few nestled among the ocean-side mangroves. Guests also enjoy high-end amenities without sacrificing environmentally friendly practices, while the restaurants offer the best cuisine in the region, extensive plant-based options, and impeccable style. But even still, the real jewels are the Architects of Life personal growth program and the Rituals of Sound series. The Hotel is Pet Friendly, for more information contact the hotel.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Everyone at Palmaia, especially Andres, Esteban, and David, along with all waiters and resort workers were amazing. They made our trip so memorable and a breeze. My daughter said to us, “Mama people are not this nice in the United States.” Everyone should stay at this resort even if you are not vegan. The food is INCREDIBLE!
My wife and I are vegan and learned of Palmaïa through a fitness personality and decided to make it a must do for our next celebration, our wedding anniversary. Time and time again we were impressed by the food, people, and quality of service. For the food, Charly’s was the best and should be open more! Also, don’t use charcoal so much on your menus - we weren’t fans. People I want to call out are our Nomadic guides Oscar and Kassandra, our drivers Oscar and David, Charly’s server Sergio, our dinner server Jacky, and the whole team that kept our room immaculate!
The best hotel and resort I have stayed at and I have been to many places in the Caribbean. I asked Claude to read latest reviews and suggest a resort which is not busy, people don’t have to line up for a chair by the pool, the food and service are consistent and is just not a typical resort. Palmaia was the suggestion and my husband and I are so happy with this resort. We are not vegan but enjoyed all options, it’s tempting to become vegan though I know outside this resort vegan food are not this good. The massage with Norma and Ruben were phenomenal. If you are looking to relax and recharge, you hate loud music by pools, you care about service and food, you like to see some animals and experience nature, this is the place. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all great people including Esteban, Andrei, our nomadic guides, and Edwardo and Rahul.
The best massage in addition to amazing food, service and hospitality.
I must say everything about the Palamia The House of AiA resort was excellent. I did not explore a whole lot on the sandal side, but the amount of time that I had to Explore this resort and the staff was exactly what I needed.
