The hospitality landscape is continually evolving, with brands vying to meet the ever-growing demands of travelers seeking unique and luxurious experiences. SLS Hotels & Residences has taken a significant step into this realm with the recent debut of its first all-inclusive resort, the SLS Playa Mujeres, located just 15 miles north of Cancun International Airport in Mexico. This waterfront property, nestled within a gated community, boasts 498 meticulously designed rooms, catering to discerning guests looking for a blend of comfort and elegance.
At SLS Playa Mujeres, variety is the name of the game, as the resort offers an impressive array of accommodation options. Among these, the Captivate Swim Out rooms stand out with their private gardens that allow guests to step directly into the water, creating an inviting and convenient escape. Larger groups can take advantage of the spacious one- and two-bedroom suites or even the expansive three-bedroom Envy suite, complete with an outdoor terrace boasting breathtaking sea views. For those seeking a heightened sense of luxury, the introduction of SLS Elite rooms offers personalized check-in and butler services, along with a premium spirits package, ensuring an elevated stay for every guest.
The culinary offerings at SLS Playa Mujeres are nothing short of remarkable, featuring 18 distinct dining venues. Notably, guests can indulge in the resort’s signature dining concepts that have made SLS a renowned name in the culinary world, such as Fi’lia and Cleo. Other diverse gastronomic experiences include Caracol, which emphasizes locally sourced seafood, and Union, a stylish New York-style steakhouse. The range of dining choices reflects the resort’s commitment to quality, allowing guests to embark on a global gastronomic journey without stepping out of the property.
Wellness and Recreation: A Haven for Mind and Body
The wellness component of the resort is highlighted by the expansive 20,000-square-foot Ciel Spa, offering 20 treatment rooms, thermal baths, and an outdoor tranquility pool. Fitness enthusiasts will find state-of-the-art facilities, including two indoor gyms, an outdoor fitness area, and a specially designated TRX training zone. Notably, the fitness programming is spearheaded by Nike-sponsored trainer Julio Bustelo, bridging the gap between luxury and health in an all-inclusive atmosphere.
SLS Playa Mujeres goes beyond traditional expectations of a luxury resort by offering diverse amenities catering to families and professionals alike. A dedicated kids club ensures that younger guests have ample entertainment, while five pools – including family-friendly areas with a splash park and an adults-only section – allow everyone to find their own slice of paradise. For those planning events or conferences, the resort houses nine meeting venues, including a grand ballroom capable of accommodating up to 920 attendees.
With room rates starting at around $699 per night, SLS Playa Mujeres presents a compelling option for a luxurious getaway. This opening is particularly noteworthy as it represents a strategic expansion for Ennismore, affiliated with the Accor group, as it continues to carve a niche in the lucrative all-inclusive market. With the launch of an all-inclusive booking platform in the previous year, the introduction of SLS Playa Mujeres signals a bright future for the brand’s portfolio, enhancing its allure to the global traveler.
As trips to destinations like Mexico become increasingly popular, SLS Playa Mujeres stands poised to redefine what all-inclusive luxury looks like, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its stunning setting, exquisite dining, and unmatched service.
