Making a Difference

Number of employees: ~650

Percentage of local employees: ~50%

Fairmont Mayakoba was designed in a sustainable way. 90% of the hotel is located behind the mangrove line, protecting this fragile ecosystem. Our comprehensive environmental and sociocultural programs involve local communities and the nearby World Heritage Site, Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, and have been in operation since before the hotel opened.

We are a five Diamond Resort, Green Key certified, and Rainforest Alliance Verified. We demonstrate that service, luxury, and sustainability are part of the same equation.

Fairmont Mayakoba participates in the Pack for a Purpose program, in which guests can bring school supplies, medical supplies, and other small items from home to donate to the local community. Guests simply drop off their donation with our staff, and we will deliver it for them.
