Paradisus Cancun, the all-inclusive luxury resort from Meliá Hotels International has announced its re-opening after a complete $50 million renovation.

As one of the region’s most iconic landmarks, Paradisus Cancun is situated along a prime beachfront location, blending luxury, culture and wellness. Preserving its iconic pyramid architecture, the resort unveiled 773 fully redesigned luxury suites featuring natural materials, warm tones, handcrafted touches and smart comforts. Nine new culinary concepts, seven bar venues, a new Aquazone splash park and a new Kidsdom kids club are part of the renovation.

“Paradisus Cancun is a truly special property for both the company and for our family, as it remains one of the most distinctive resorts in Cancun, originally opened more than 35 years ago by our founder,” said Gabriel Escarrer Jaume, Chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International in a statement.

He added, “The reopening of Paradisus Cancun embodies the essence of our purpose: to elevate luxury experiences in the world’s most coveted destinations, creating unforgettable moments in a setting that blends culture, wellness, and sophistication, all delivered with the warm, exceptional hospitality that defines Meliá.”

Elevated Luxury Experiences

Two distinct luxe experiences include the Family Concierge and The Reserve. The Family Concierge provides a family experience where comfort meets thoughtful attention featuring spacious suites, a redesigned lounge, dedicated Destination Concierge service, premium amenities for all ages, reserved beach areas, access to exclusive restaurants, and more.

The Reserve provides an exclusive adults-only (+18 years) haven with personalized luxury, serenity and elevated comfort with highly personalized Destination Concierge service, private lounge spaces, reserved pool and beach areas, and access to exclusive gastronomic experiences.

Multi-Gen Family Fun

With a new focus on multigenerational travel, reimagined spaces cater to every member of the family. Aquazone, a brand-new splash park features dynamic slides, splash zones and water fun. The newly redesigned Kidsdom offers age-appropriate interactive, creative and educational opportunities for infants and kids, while teens and adults have activities designed to entertain, inspire and engage.

Elevated Culinary Concepts

The dining scene at Paradisus Cancun celebrates global flavors and the vibrant essence of the Yucatan. Guests can select refined signature experiences, casual yet immersive dining, and dynamic social spaces designed for connection and celebration.

New dining concepts include Vibra, serving bold gourmet flavors in a colorful upbeat space, and Kao offering contemporary Japanese fare. Zesty features comfort food and Gastro Hall’s buffet serves local and multicultural specialties.

Sal, is a steakhouse with stunning oceanfront views, Capella, sports a more intimate setting with Italian classics and Agua Marina specializes in seafood dishes from the Mexican coasts. Mexican taqueria Blue Agave and Sante offer a range of Mediterranean flavors exclusive for The Reserve guests.
