Why Go To: Desire Riviera Maya

The couples-only clothing-optional Desire Riviera Maya Resort & Spa (aka ‘the Original’ Desire), has 114 guest rooms and suites in an elegant and intimate village-style setting, and offers a comfortably relaxed vibe.

From gourmet restaurants serving exotic cuisine to Bali beach beds on soothing white sand, Desire Riviera Maya Resort offers a sensual, seductive environment, inviting you to relax and renew your relationship, to rekindle your intimacy, to make new friends with like-minded couples.

In the late afternoons, the party moves to the large rooftop Jacuzzi with its own swimup bar, outdoor shower, lounge area and day beds…and where you might find some couples getting a bit frisky — it’s one of only two public areas where sex is allowed (the other being the “Sin” Room at the nightclub, a private couples-only, guests-only environment for play).

Desire Resorts are also known for their provocative entertainment and sexy signature theme nights, setting the stage for you and your beloved to bring your most desired fantasies to life. Each moment is a new experience for continuing pleasure, with relaxing spa treatments to captivate you, or a fantasy menu dedicated to please you.

The resort is clothing-optional everywhere except the lobby and restaurants.

Fun Things To Do:

  • The Tuesday Foam Party - NOT to be missed!
  • The couples-only Catamaran Snorkel Cruise - well worth the extra $
  • Meet people - naturists are some of the friendliest people on earth!
  • Put some clothes on and go shopping in nearby Puerto Morelos.
  • Liberate your wicked side by dressing up on Theme Nights!

    Getting There:

    • Desire Riviera Maya is only 20 minutes from the Cancun International Airport in the Puerto Morelos section of Riviera Maya.
    • After you exit customs and come out the double glass doors, walk all the way down the air conditioned hallway. You will see tons of greeters with smiling faces, but don’t be fooled…they all want to sell you a time share. These are not the greeters you want. Simply nod and keep walking all the way down the hall to the next set of double glass doors that will take you outside to the ground transportation area. From here, you will look for the Transportation Kiosk where a coordinator will set you up with the transfer van to take you to Desire Riviera Maya.
