Descripción de la empresa
Etéreo, Auberge Collection is located on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, within the luxury Kanai development just 30 miles from Cancun International Airport. Set within a protected mangrove forest along a pristine stretch of the Caribbean Sea, the resort offers 75 luxury accommodations—ranging from 875 sq. ft. Studios to 3,925 sq. ft. three-bedroom Penthouse Suites. Each oceanview retreat features expansive private terraces with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, spa-style bathrooms with dual vanities and soaking tubs, and thoughtful design that blurs the line between indoors and out. From outdoor adventures that immerse guests in the region’s natural wonders to hands-on experiences with local artisans, the resort’s on- and off-site programming is designed to celebrate the vibrancy of the Yucatán and its rich cultural heritage. The resort’s signature dining venue, Itzam, showcases elevated modern Mexican cuisine with a focus on local ingredients, complemented by panoramic ocean views from its open-air seating, lounge terrace, and private dining room, Pixán. Further celebrating the destination’s culture and history, the resort’s outdoor eatery Che Che honors the ‘nikkei’ tradition, blending Japanese techniques with Latin American ingredients, while in-the-sand dining at El Changarro completes a culinary program rooted in discovery. For wellness seekers, SANA, an Auberge Spa, offers a serene healing sanctuary featuring a cenote-inspired pool, drawing on ancient practices while embracing modern wellness trends.
