Today, we’ve earned a different moniker: the sandwich generation.
In general, it’s not always easy to be a human in the world right now, but—with the extra addition of caring for aging parents and/or anxious children—it’s a true recipe for burnout. Not like complain, eat a pastry, feel better burn out. I’m talking about bone-deep, existential exhaustion.
Recently, just as I was feeling truly at the end of my rope, I was lucky enough to explore the newly revamped Banyan Tree Mayakoba, just north of Playa del Carman, Mexico. And though, at first, the thought of packing and preparing felt like another item on an already daunting to-do list, I cannot stress how legitimate a reset this refuge offered. (Honestly, just taking a break from having to cook nightly dinner felt like a dream.)

Banyan Tree Mayakoba
Maybe it seems pat to suggest that a well-timed vacation to a tropical paradise can fix what ails us, if we’re fortunate enough to have the chance. It probably can’t change things for the long haul—but what about the long weekend?
Banyan Tree Mayakoba
Banyan Tree is unique from the other hotels here thanks to its connection to nature, emphasis on privacy (which they consider an underrated commodity in luxury travel) and the blending of the hotelier’s signature Asian hospitality with Mexican culture. When it originally opened its doors in 2009, this was the brand’s first North American property. Now, more than a decade later, the signature spot has unveiled a five-year, almost $100 million reimagining which involved their now 34 beachfront suites, 121 villas and seven two-story floating lagoon villas while maintaining that original energy and spirit. “The resort does not try to compete through excess or spectacle,” says Afonso Cunha, general manager. “Instead, it offers something increasingly rare: privacy, serenity and the feeling of being fully present. The renovation was approached with great respect for that identity, preserving the property's emotional essence while being ready for a new generation of travelers.”

And You Say, Stay
One of the greatest luxuries in this age of nonstop inundation—with work and family demands, social coordination, social media streams, school communication and ads for all the glass skin masks we will perish without—is peace and quiet. And there is no true escape from overstimulation like holing up in a discreet residence. While it’s lovely to stay in a big, beautiful hotel, having a villa or suite—with space to retreat and breathe even while with others—is a different kind of gift.

Nothing is overdone.

Naughty By Nature
Fortunately, the dude was small, and, actually, the property monitors the size of the few crocs, who are sometimes transferred to a nearby sanctuary—away from guests sipping their spicy margaritas with abandon.
Nature is everywhere here—and that’s true whether guests are traveling from place-to-place by boat, spotting marine life and birds, or wandering the paths alongside adorable coati (furry brown and orange guys with narrow snouts and striped tails). I definitely met a few on my daily runs.

Nice & Smooth
As someone who is woefully allergic to dairy, I want to acknowledge how seamlessly they handled my needs. With food sensitivities being so rampant, it’s a huge leg-up to have this mastered. In addition to showing patience and adjusting dishes as needed, they actually made special dairy-free desserts that almost tasted too good to believe!

There are many great dining options here at multiple restaurants, but the newest addition from the renovation is Suna, a speakeasy with Nikkei-style cuisine (which means Peruvian flavors with a Japanese preparation). The lightness is perfect in the tropical warmth.

All I Want To Do Is Have Some Fun
Though, in truth, it’s hard to imagine a better activity for a burnt out sandwicher than lying by a villa pool while reading a good book, Banyan Tree does offer other ways to spend time. For instance, guests can lie by a pool—and the turquoise ocean—with a book and some local seafood at the new adults-only Sur Beach Club.

Bikes abound for exploring beyond the golf carts. Of course, there are water activities galore.
It turns out that relaxation is possible if you’re lucky enough to find a true escape. So, as some wise women once said, “Hold on for one more day.”
