Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal
Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal is a large resort on the Riviera Maya coast in Mexico with multiple building complexes, including an adults-only section. The property spans a wide area and features different restaurants serving seafood, Italian, and international cuisine, plus several pools including river-style pools with bars and an infinity pool.
The resort is part of the Bahia Principe group that operates multiple resorts in the Riviera Maya. The Akumal property was established to attract visitors with an all-inclusive concept in a tropical coastal setting.
The name Bahia Principe refers to the bay and the Spanish word for prince. Visitors can observe how the resort integrates with the jungle setting and how guests use the pools, beaches, and outdoor areas as social gathering spaces throughout their stay.
Check-in can take several hours, so expect some waiting time and staff will serve drinks while you wait. The resort is far from towns, so arrange transportation in advance and plan to spend most of your time enjoying the property itself.
The resort grounds are surrounded by thick jungle where you regularly spot iguanas and other small animals, especially in the evenings when they are more active. The water at Akumal is known for being shallow and sometimes having seaweed, which staff work to clean regularly.
