Etereo Auberge Riviera Maya

The Resort I Can’t Stop Sending My Clients To

There are some properties that you recommend, and then there are the rare few you can’t help but rave about every chance you get. Etereo, Auberge Riviera Maya, is the latter — a place that somehow manages to be both wildly luxurious and deeply grounding at the same time. From the moment you arrive, you feel as though the entire world slows to match the rhythm of the sea. As a travel advisor, I’ve been fortunate to visit incredible resorts around the world, but Etereo is one I return to in my mind again and again… and one I’m so eager for my clients to experience firsthand.

The rooms alone could convince you to extend your stay indefinitely. Spacious, serene, and thoughtfully designed, each suite feels like a private sanctuary. Soft neutral palettes, artisan textures, and floor-to-ceiling windows blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. And those terraces — oversized, breezy, and outfitted with plunge pools — invite you to watch sunrise pour over the water or enjoy slow, dreamy evenings listening to the waves. It’s the kind of space that reconnects you with yourself before you even step outside.

Then there are the views: sweeping, unobstructed panoramas of the Caribbean that shift from crystalline turquoise to velvety blue throughout the day. Whether you're lounging at the adults-only pool, wandering through the mangrove pathways, or dining beachfront, the resort is intentionally built to showcase nature at every turn. Every corner feels like it was designed for savoring — your morning coffee, a long exhale, or the quiet awe that sneaks up on you when paradise looks back.

And oh, the food. Etereo’s culinary program is one of my favorite things to brag about when planning a client’s trip. Every meal feels curated, soulful, and fresh — whether it's breakfast in your robe with pastries still warm from the oven, a ceviche tasting that redefines what ceviche even is, or a dinner under lantern light with flavors inspired by the Yucatán. The chefs here don’t just cook; they tell stories with ingredients. You can taste the care, the heritage, and the creativity in every bite.

But what elevates Etereo from “gorgeous resort” to “absolute must-experience” is the service. Auberge properties have a reputation for hospitality, but Etereo takes it a step further — staff remember your name, your preferences, and even the way you like your morning coffee. Every interaction feels genuine, never transactional. You’re not just staying at a resort; you’re being welcomed into an experience curated just for you.

If you’re dreaming of a trip that feels restorative, indulgent, and effortlessly luxurious, this is it. Etereo is the kind of place that imprints on you — a destination where the beauty is obvious, but the feeling is what stays with you long after you’ve left. And as someone who’s seen countless destinations, I can say without hesitation: this is one I’d love for you to experience for yourself. Let me know when you’re ready — paradise is waiting.
