ATELIER PLAYA MUJERES

No matter your definition of fun, Atelier has something to strike your fancy.

For the professional relaxers among us, consider checking out services at the on-site spa, which offers couples massages and chocolate foot exfoliation services among other delightful experiences.

Can’t miss the adrenaline surge of a workout? Not to worry: Atelier features a state-of-the-art gym, featuring specialty Technogym training equipment.

If culture calls your name, stroll through the resort’s art walk to check out the galleries of featured Mexican artists.

For the golfer at heart, be sure to book 18 holes at Atelier’s Playa Mujeres’ 7,218-yard course, spreading over two majestic settings with unforgettable views of the Caribbean Sea.

As the sun sets over the ocean, put on your dancing shoes and get ready for evening salsa lessons. If that’s not your speed, settle in for live music, an amazing sand show or karaoke.

Of course, no Mexican getaway is complete without plenty of sunshine!

Enjoy that soft ocean breeze from the shade of a palm tree while endless tropical drinks are delivered to your lounge chair.

Change up the scenery with a splash in the gently rolling ocean, where clear waters give you a glimpse of the schools of fish swirling past. The lush, tropical ecosystem along this stretch of beach is vast, making it a perfect spot to snorkel or scuba dive. 

For those with a more adventurous spirit, enjoy a volleyball game, fat bike beach tour or kayaking trip. And when it’s time to cool down, visit either of Atelier’s top swimming spots: the Live & Vibe Pool or the Relaxing Pool. 

There’s no chance of going hungry at Atelier, with its 13 restaurants and bars and two coffee shops. 

Perhaps you’ll grab breakfast by the sea at El Suspiro, before returning for its famous Caribbean lobster at dinner. Or enjoy juicy cuts at the Los Abrazos steakhouse before stopping in the Cafecito coffee shop for an after-dinner latte and dessert.

One evening, however, consider stepping outside of the all-inclusive package for a true treat when you make a reservation at Maria Dolores. This on-site specialty restaurant is where art meets cuisine under the watchful eye of celebrity Chef Edgar Nunez. His dedication to exquisite Mexican cuisine delivers a fresh take on traditional flavors with dishes ranging from sliced bluefin tuna and jumbo shrimp to tempura bok choy and grilled beef filet.

With dessert options such as ruby chocolate cake with raspberry and rose, you’ll want to make sure to leave room after your meal. And don’t forget to ask your server for a wine recommendation that is the perfect complement to your perfect meal.
