Mayakoba means 'village on water', a reference to the lagoons and waterways that meander through this elegant and luxurious sanctuary resort, where lush tropical flora and a spectacular beach collude to create an intimate Mexican hideaway.

While each hole shines with its own particular magic, it's the par 3s that already are earning the loudest raves. The 7th and 15th holes play right to the edge of the Caribbean Sea with the sand and the spray punctuating the breeze. In the distance is one of the world's largest coral reefs and the island of Cozumel. The 10th is another short hole that is long on memories. The figure eight green is lined with drama. A shot too long or to the right drops deep into the crystal waters of the canal.
