Marriott International has signed an agreement with AB Living to bring its St Regis brand to Costa Mujeres in early 2025.

Situated on a 3.5-hectare site along the beach, St Regis Costa Mujeres Resort is being envisioned by Mexico City-based firm Sordo Madaleno Architect, whose scheme will comprise 158 guestrooms and 80 branded residential units with views of Isla Mujeres to the east and Cancun to the Southeast.

Plans for the resort also include three F&B venues, several swimming pools, a beach club, approximately 470m2 of meeting space, and the signature St Regis Butler Service. Measuring 22,584m2, the branded residences will provide private elevator access, a residential concierge, a fitness centre, and full access to the resort’s amenities and services.

“The signing of St Regis Costa Mujeres Resort represents a pivotal moment, as the brand continues its dynamic resort growth in the world’s most glamorous leisure destinations,” says George Fleck, Vice President and Global Brand Leader at St Regis Hotels & Resorts. “We are thrilled to expand our footprint in Mexico and look forward to bringing the brand’s celebrated rituals and traditions to this vibrant and sought-after destination for future guests.”

Laurent De Kousemaeker, Chief Development Officer at Marriott International, comments: “We are thrilled to work with AB Living to introduce St Regis to Costa Mujeres, Cancun’s exciting new side of town. This signing showcases both the continuous growth in one of Mexico’s top destinations and the strong interest in our portfolio of sought-after luxury brands.”

Alejandro Bataller, Vice President of AB Living Group, explains: “Our choice of St Regis is based on a shared vision of luxury hospitality, standards of service, tradition and excellence. St Regis is also a leader in the luxury branded residential segment, a component that plays a major role in this project.”

Marriott International currently operates two St Regis properties in Mexico; St Regis Mexico City and St Regis Punta Mita Resort. Additionally, the brand is slated to make its debut in Riviera Maya later this year and in Los Cabos in 2023. The wider St Regis portfolio comprises 15 resorts, with plans to expand further in the Caribbean, North America, North Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific.
