Share the article

Tired of the same old family routine and the endless cycle of school runs? Are you yearning for sun-soaked days and a getaway where “I’m bored” simply isn’t in the vocabulary? If your family is craving a vibrant escape that blends luxury with endless entertainment, then get ready for the brand new AVA Resort Cancun. It’s not just a hotel—it’s a whole new level of all-inclusive luxury designed to ignite your family’s bond.

Forget cookie-cutter resorts; AVA Cancun is a showstopper from the moment you glimpse its striking silhouette. Its bold, cruise ship-inspired architecture and high-end finishes practically scream “airplane mode!” And the best part? AVA truly sets a new standard, not least because of its commitment to sustainability: solar panels provide almost half of its daily energy, and a state-of-the-art system reuses nearly all water waste.

Where is AVA Resort Cancun located and how far is it from Cancun International Airport?

Nestled in a private reserve at the southern end of Cancun’s hotel zone, AVA Resort Cancun is perfectly positioned a mere 10 minutes from Cancun International Airport, getting you from touchdown to poolside cocktail in record time.

Ready to make those family memories that’ll last a lifetime?

The best oceanfront luxury in every. single. room.

Say goodbye to fighting over the best view! At AVA Resort Cancun, every single room boasts uninterrupted panoramas of the sparkling ocean through glorious floor-to-ceiling windows. Step onto your spacious private terrace, complete with a comfy lounge area and a bubbling spa tub, and let the Caribbean breeze melt away your worries.

Whether you’re a cozy family of three or a bustling bunch of six, there’s a variety of room categories perfectly tailored to your needs.

Inside, the vibe is pure sophistication. Think minimalist design with natural textures that let the breathtaking views take center stage. But don’t mistake minimalist for lacking—every detail has been considered for your ultimate comfort and convenience:

  • In-room Nespresso machine for your morning brew
  • Revitalizing rainfall showerheads for a spa-like experience
  • Exclusive bathrobe & slippers for ultimate comfort
  • Mini bar stocked with refreshing beers and soft drinks
  • Custom toiletries to pamper yourself
  • Bluetooth sound system to set your vacation soundtrack

Get ready for some serious “pinch me” moments!

Make a splash (or six!)

Nouveaux hôtels Mexique - AVA Resort Cancun - New hotels in Mexico

Prepare to be mesmerized by AVA Bay, a jaw-dropping 2.7-acre saltwater lagoon that stretches across almost the entire resort—for scale, that’s roughly the size of three football fields! Powered by innovative Crystal Lagoon® technology, the water here is always calm, crystal-clear, and inviting. It’s a playground perfect for swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. The kicker? It uses significantly less energy and fewer chemicals than traditional pools while offering a natural, oceanfront feel.

But the aquatic fun doesn’t stop there!

Dive into any of the six stunning pools, each offering its own unique vibe and breathtaking ocean views. Grown-ups looking for a little peace can escape to the sleek adults-only infinity pool, complete with its own restaurant and bar. For those who like their cocktails served without leaving the water, there are three swim-up bars ready to quench your thirst. And with plenty of private cabanas, deck chairs, sunbeds, and lounge chairs, you’ll always find the perfect spot to soak up the sun.

Plus, for the little (and big!) thrill-seekers, AVA boasts two water parks.

Does AVA Resort Cancun have a beach?

Now, let’s be upfront: while AVA does have a private beach area, nestled by the tranquil lagoon and mangrove, it’s not the resort’s main attraction. So, if your vision of paradise centers on endless stretches of white sand and crashing waves, this might not be your typical beach resort.

However, trust us when we say the pools are destinations in their own right, offering a unique and unforgettable aquatic experience.
