Palafitos Overwater Bungalows

Get a taste of the Maldives in the Riviera Maya at Palafitos Overwater Bungalows. Just off the tranquil Playa Maroma beachfront with endless white sand beaches and a gentle breeze at its back, the hotel offers 30 overwater bungalows. The villas, styled in traditional Mexican palapa design, offer an escape reminiscent of the Maldives while maintaining Mexican charm through impeccable amenities, attention to detail, gastronomy and ambiance.Opened in 2016 as part of the Lomas Hospitality group, the property's success is largely attributed to an all-female leadership team that preserves and showcases its heritage.Palafitos stands out not only as the sole overwater option in the region but also for its "more inclusive" offerings. Guests enjoy comprehensive services, from airport pickups to private training sessions; visits to Rancho Bonanza wild horse rescue center and private cenote catamaran cruises; and a range of water sports — ensuring every desire is met (without any extra cost). That is, if you want to leave the comfort of your own private overwater deck.
