Marie Claire's beauty team touches down in the Mayan Riviera
We stayed at...
The Viceroy Riviera Maya (viceroyhotelsandresorts.com), a serene, adults-only beach resort with a jungle vibe. All 41 thatched-roof villas come with a plunge pool and a terrace garden with a handmade hammock perfect for that afternoon chill out. Add in two restaurants, a spa, yoga classes and super-attentive staff and you have a very private sunshine hideaway. Luxury villas cost from £337 or book a package at scottdunn.com.
