Bahia Principe Akumal
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Drive about an hour south of Cancun, and you come to Akumal, a small beachfront community packed with the resorts, few of which pack more punch than this all-inclusive retreat. Imagine the amenity. You’ll find it here. Beach bars. Pool bars. Buffets. Tennis courts. There’s a kids-only water park. A nightclub. A casino. And 27-holes of golf at PGA Riviera Maya, a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design that is ringed by jungle and ornamented with natural lakes. As the name suggests, the course has a partnership with the PGA of America and is home to an expansive practice facility, where private or group lessons can be had.
Costa Palmas
La Ribera, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Forty-five minutes east of Los Cabos International Airport, on the Baja Peninsula, the bustle and development of a tourist mecca give way to untouched, white-sand beaches where the desert slopes into the sea. This is the East Coast of Los Cabos, a tranquil time capsule that calls to mind how Cabo used to be. Anchoring Costa Palmas, the luxe resort in this resplendent setting, is an artful Robert Trent Jones Jr. course that weaves through dunes and sandy wastes before curling along the coves and harbors that make the region one of the world’s great sports fishing destinations. Accommodations are equally idyllic at a Four Seasons replete with private villas and all the tasteful, upscale comforts that come with the brand.
