Who doesn’t want a luxury vacation in paradise? That’s a trick question because according to almost every resort under the sun (ok, so all of them), everyone does. Luxury has become the unofficial term adopted by resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico. As this word gets tossed around more than a body surfer stuck in a breaking wave, it can be hard to decipher where true luxury lies. Lucky for you, NIZUC Resort and Spa on the southern and secluded end of Cancun’s famous Hotel Zone has achieved this elusive atmosphere almost effortlessly. Luxury means, “a pleasure out of the ordinary allowed to one’s self,” and NIZUC knows exactly how to spoil you.
Ambiance is Everything
Reflection Pool at Nizuc
Cancun is a renowned vacation destination for a lot of reasons: picturesque beaches, endless entertainment, and an abundance of Mayan culture to name a few. And at NIZUC, guests can experience this area’s unique atmosphere without ever stepping foot off the resort. Revel in the Yucatan’s lush environment with a kayak trip through their onsite mangroves, move to the rhythms of live local music, and savor the region through its delicious wines. If these don’t sound opulent enough, pick up a fresh cigar that was hand-rolled just for you and retreat to your soaking tub or private pool, either of which comes standard in every room at this resort.
Boats Are Nice. Yachts Are Better
From catamarans to kayaks, you name an iconic water vessel and chances are most resorts have it. But which can boast that they have a boat whose name is synonymous with floating luxury? NIZUC can. Charter their private yacht and spoil yourself on the sea. Sunsets are always better while sailing the Caribbean – glass of Champagne in hand, of course!

All Cocktails Are Not Created Equal
Cold cocktails on the beach or by the pool are a big draw for most Caribbean and Mexico vacations. While other hotels perfect the ideal margarita, NIZUC prides itself in surprising your taste buds with a different take on this iconic beverage – the NIZUC Margarita with silver tequila, fresh lime juice, cucumber, dill, honey, and triple sec. And that’s just one of five unique margaritas found at the resort’s oceanfront Bar A-Kan. Treat yourself to an abundance of creative signature cocktails in NIZUC’s four fabulous bars and lounges.
Tennis Anyone?
Kayaking at NIZUC
Activities are in no short supply at NIZUC. Snorkeling is always a must-do, but NIZUC has your health in mind with an activity program to prove it. Work on your physique with cross-fit training or salsa your way to a slimmer you at dance classes. Test your balance with paddle board yoga, a water-lover’s dream technique that’s quickly becoming all the rage among yogis of every level. If your goal is to return home and impress with a newly perfected skill, take advantage of NIZUC’s Peter Burwash International Tennis Program and work on your backswing with a professional.

Dining Done Right
A smorgasbord of tantalizing restaurants and cuisine awaits you at every resort, and NIZUC is no exception. However, you can up the ante on your dining experience by going on a culinary adventure. Enjoy the honor of dining at the chef’s table and munch on a personally designed menu from the resort’s executive chef Sylvain Desbois in his private dining room. Food and booze go together like sun and sand. Attend a wine pairing dinner and savor the flavors of one of Mexico’s oldest wineries. For those with a penchant for something stronger, indulge in a sushi and tequila tasting.
Luxury isn’t a word to be taken lightly, and NIZUC knows exactly how to define it. Experience the true meaning of luxury for yourself and let your local travel agent plan your opulent escape to Cancun’s NIZUC Resort and Spa.
