Making waves on the sun-bleached shores of Costa Mujeres, SLS Playa Mujeres marked a bold new chapter for Ennismore with its December 2024 debut; becoming the group’s first-ever all-inclusive resort while expanding its lifestyle hospitality footprint. Arriving ahead of the more recent SLS Barcelona, this expansive, high-glamour destination has introduced a new standard of excess to the Yucatán Peninsula.
Comprising 498 rooms and suites — from playful swim-out options to sweeping multi-bedroom residences — the resort is built around a theatrical sense of style and social energy. Balconies and terraces invite long, lazy mornings or golden-hour aperitivos, while SLS Elite guests enjoy access to a more rarefied experience: private lounges, rooftop jacuzzis, butler service, and exclusive beach zones. At the heart of it all, Ciel Spa offers a wellness world of thermal baths, outdoor serenity pools, and treatments infused with CBD or citrus ritual indulgence.
True to the SLS identity, the culinary scene is anything but restrained. With 18 venues across the property — including the Mexican debuts of Fi’lia and Cleo — the offering here on Playa Mujeres ranges from beach-club bites to fire-grilled seafood at Caracol, Japanese-Latin fusion at Lotus, and the moody elegance of Smoke & Mirrors, where crafted cocktails meet a curated cigar programme. Whether sipping spritzes at Twiggy or drifting between DJs and poolside service at Privilege, guests move through a resort designed to delight no matter the hour.
Entertainment extends beyond nightlife. A packed calendar of cabaret, fire shows and immersive daytime experiences runs alongside a robust fitness programme curated by Nike trainer Julio Bustelo. Families aren’t forgotten either, a full kids’ club, teen lounge and splash park deliver mini-scale versions of SLS-style fun.
Set within a gated enclave just north of Cancún and fringed by the Caribbean Sea, SLS Playa Mujeres is a discerning destination and landmark debut for Ennismore’s ALL Inclusive Collection.
