The experience
Not your standard all-inclusive.
Desire Riviera Maya is built for couples who want more freedom than a traditional resort offers. The atmosphere is playful and open-minded, but the pace is yours to set. You can spend the day reconnecting privately, ease into the social scene, or embrace the full energy of the pool parties and nightlife.
Clothing is optional in designated areas, including the beach, pools, Jacuzzi Lounge, and playroom. Participation is always a personal choice, and privacy is taken seriously throughout the resort.

There is more than one way to experience Desire.
