Cocooned by the jungle on a pristine stretch of the Caribbean coast lies a communal playground for the creative community. Papaya Playa lets you reconnect to nature with an urban spirit. Dotted along the beach and nestled in the jungle, the simplicity of the rooms is what lends them their special charm. The resort's restaurant overlooks the azure waters, where diners can enjoy locally sourced specialties; along the beach, drinks and snacks are served from late morning until late evening at the resort's beach club. In addition to massages and beauty treatments, guests can also enjoy yoga, tai chi and meditation to complete the holistic circle. In December 2011, Design Hotels ventured to conceive a destination in paradise along the Mexican Caribbean coast on what we call now Papaya Playa Project. Together with Emilio Heredia, they created a space for like-minded, creative individuals to unwind and connect with self and nature.
