Mayakoba · No experience needed · Ages 10+
Never dived before? No problem. We'll have you exploring cenotes by lunchtime. We offer private discover scuba diving tours with complimentary pickup right from Banyan Tree Mayakoba.
Banyan Tree Mayakoba is an intimate, villa-only retreat set within the Mayakoba lagoon and canal network, earning Two Michelin Keys, an AAA Five Diamond rating, and Forbes Four Stars. The resort's private pool villas — many perched over the water or nestled in mangroves — draw romance-seeking couples and wellness travelers looking for complete privacy and an Asian-inspired spa philosophy fused with Mayan tradition. Its quiet corner of Mayakoba is roughly 25 minutes from the Playa del Carmen cenote corridor, making a morning dive trip beautifully unhurried.
A villa retreat at Banyan Tree Mayakoba already redefines luxury — now add an exclusive underwater encounter to the itinerary.

A dedicated instructor walks you through every skill before guiding you into the Caribbean for your first breath underwater. Couples will find it an unforgettable shared milestone, and families with children aged 10 and above are equally welcome.
