UNICO 20°87° is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort on the white-sand coastline of the Riviera Maya, with the property’s name a direct reference to its location at 20°N, 87°W. The curved shape of the building follows the line of the coast, with bright, spacious rooms running across the resort.
The food side covers five restaurants, the headline being Cueva Siete by celebrity chef Gerardo Vázquez Lugo. The menu rotates with an annual guest chef who designs a signature menu for one of the venues. The bar and lounge program runs to Palmera Lounge with live entertainment, the Bar Balam cocktail bar, and Cafe Inez for juices, coffee, and lighter plates.
Three pools, a holistic spa, and a fitness center with yoga, meditation, and beachfront classes cover the daytime side. The all-inclusive offering is built around personalization, including in-room minibars stocked to preference and a personal host for every guest.

Our Experts
Pristine beaches, beautiful cenotes, archaeological sites... there really is something for everyone on the Riviera Maya. I recommend it to anyone looking for that perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
With it's boho-chic vibe and stunning beaches, Tulum is my favourite spot on the Riviera Maya. And of course, you have Akumal just 20 minutes away by car, where you can swim with sea turtles.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Los Cabos: Adventure Beyond the Resort
Tailor-made VacationBeneath its resort reputation, Los Cabos holds some of the richest marine life in Mexico and a desert most visitors never see. Los Cabos has built its reputation on resort pools and beachfront cocktails, but the water and the desert surrounding the peninsula hold a different kind of trip entirely, one that queer and trans-focused dive operators in the region have already been running for years.

This seven-day retreat is built around a Riviera Maya resort with one of the region's more distinctive wellness programs, anchored by a genuine commitment to Mayan healing tradition rather than a generic spa menu borrowed from elsewhere.
