Rosewood Mayakoba, The Founder’s Villa RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO

Some would say that just watching the silly raccoon-like coatimundis (call them coatis) that ramble across the 620-acre, mangrove-studded Mayakoba Reserve counts as a salubrious act — especially if you combine seeing them with ticking a few bird species o ff your lifetime list (the retreat has more than 200 that perch and peck). After all, nature has proven health bene fi ts. Add in the cruiser bikes for personal transport, the upscale overall wellness ethos of Rosewood Mayakoba, the signature butler program and the indigenously inspired Sense, A Rosewood Spa for a fi tness fusion that can only lead to transformation. Boost the resort’s cumulative bene fi ts with a stay in its top suite: The Founder’s Villa. Conceived as a private estate, it spans 16,300 sq ft, with six bedrooms (including two master suites with close-enough-to touch ocean panoramas), eight bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, and a slew of indoor and outdoor common areas. Get in ‘blue mind’ mode when you do laps in the 92-ft in fi nitypool. From $30,000 per night. Contact mayakoba.reservations@ rosewoodhotels.com, +1 877 737 7538, rosewoodhotels.com

Chablé Yucatán, Royal Villa YUCATÁN PENINSULA, MEXICO

Corinthia London, Royal Penthouse Suite LONDON

In the dense Mexican jungle, Chablé Yucatán emerges from the bones of a 19th-century hacienda and a repurposed agave factory. Tuck into the spa’s cenote, one of the region’s natural springs that are sacred to the Mayans. Or, take a sweaty cure in one of Chablé Yucatán’s two authentic temazcals . Decompress further in your Royal Villa, a 10,000-sq-ft residence with three bedrooms, a private spa cabin, movie theater, pool and outdoor dining. And there’s always a quiet spot in this villa to take respite from your traveling companions. Romantics will love the artsy headboard, tooled by artisans from a recovered tree, and a massive 1,100-lb double tub, its limestone drawn from a local quarry. From $6,559 per night.

Along the River Thames, the glorious Corinthia London, a luminous hotel, hums with haute monde guests, not to mention locals who nip in, bedecked in their fi nest regalia, to sip tea and nibble sandwiches beneath the lobby’s glittery Baccarat chandelier.
