Desire Resorts Mexico: A Guide for Lifestyle Couples

What Are Desire Resorts?

Desire Resorts is a brand of adults-only, clothing-optional, lifestyle-friendly resorts in Mexico. There are currently two properties: Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort and Desire Riviera Maya Resort, both located near Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya.

The resorts are known for their high-quality facilities, beautiful settings, and strong lifestyle community. They attract couples from around the world and are consistently rated among the best lifestyle travel destinations.

The Desire Experience

Both Desire properties are all-inclusive and clothing-optional throughout. The resorts host organised events, themed parties, and social activities throughout the week. The social atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and explicitly lifestyle-oriented.

The Riviera Maya location provides easy access to Cancun airport and to the cultural and natural attractions of the Yucatan Peninsula, making it easy to combine a lifestyle resort stay with broader travel in Mexico.

Differences Between the Two Properties

Desire Riviera Maya Pearl Resort is the newer, more upscale property with a slightly more intimate atmosphere. Desire Riviera Maya Resort is the original property, larger and with a more established community feel. Both are excellent; the choice depends on your preference for atmosphere and scale.

Practical Information

Both resorts are located approximately 45 minutes south of Cancun airport. All-inclusive packages are standard. Book well in advance for peak periods and themed weeks.

Is Desire Right for You?

Like Hedonism II, Desire Resorts are best suited to couples with some lifestyle experience. The immersive format is easier to enjoy when you already have some comfort with the lifestyle community.
