If you think you’ve seen just about every all-inclusive resort in Cancun, think again. AVA Resort Cancun opened in 2024, and it continues to impress even veteran Cancun visitors. Part of RCD Hotels, whose portfolio of luxury properties includes Hard Rock Hotels, the sparkling white, curvaceous design of AVA Resort Cancun perfectly mimics the pearl-white sand of Cancun’s famed beaches.

Featuring 1,700 ocean-facing rooms and an unprecedented roster of gourmet dining that sets a new epicurean bar for all-inclusive dining options, AVA Cancun Resort has swiftly become a favorite for vacation, convention, and destination wedding travel.

Designed by renowned architects Boris Pena and Gensler Architects, the sprawling resort is characterized by a casual, coastal chic augmented by precious artwork throughout the property. Combining a serene nautical color scheme with bold accents, polished finishes, and bespoke fixtures, the resort’s sweeping design and glistening pools, including a 2.8-acre lagoon powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology set the tone for the relaxation combined with a personalized service and culinary options rarely available in a single resort.
