Mandarin Oriental is preparing to add a major new address to the Riviera Maya beachfront, and the developer has shared the first look at the homes planned for the 2028 opening.

Luxury coastal real estate has always celebrated its surroundings, but today’s most compelling developments are doing more than framing ocean views. Across the Caribbean, Florida, Mexico, and Greece, architects and designers are allowing the natural landscape to shape the homes themselves.

Luxury brand Mandarin Oriental will develop its first residential project in Mexico at Kanai, Riviera Maya. The development will combine high-end hospitality with private beachfront residences in one of the Mexican Caribbean’s most exclusive destinations.
