Coming soon to Riviera Maya, Mexico
Situated on the edge of Tulum, at the southern end of Mexico’s popular Riviera Maya, Zamaya Fitness Resort is poised to redefine the standards of fitness facilities and fitness retreats. Upon opening in mid-2025, Zamaya will span an impressive 8.6 acres (3.5 hectares), with 48 hotel suites and 24 three-bedroom villas; this state-of-the-art facility promises an unparalleled experience for fitness enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Zamaya Fitness Resort will be a dedicated haven for those passionate about their physical well-being. The resort’s founder, a former professional rugby player, is infusing his lifelong dedication to training into every aspect of the facility. Unlike traditional hotels that incorporate fitness and wellness, Zamaya will be built with a pure athlete-first approach, offering elite-level training, seamlessly integrated with hospitality. The resort’s facilities will be available to locals in the area and tourists visiting Tulum via membership packages and day passes. Villa owners will have full access to all facilities and the flexibility to rent out their property via Zamaya’s management program.
The resort’s holistic approach will integrate cutting-edge design and facilities with luxury accommodations, offering customized nutrition plans, top-tier training equipment, and a variety of classes catering to all fitness levels and interests. Moreover, it will provide a platform for fitness leaders and professional athletes to host retreats, complete with full logistical support, from customized apparel to videography services. Zamaya plans to have on-site training experts and weight loss coaches, featuring their own schedule of fitness classes and experiences for all guests and members, with retreat activities fitting around that schedule.
The resort’s spa and recovery area will incorporate a sauna, three ice baths that are always available, a Jacuzzi, and a sensory deprivation flotation tank, providing a comprehensive approach to physical recovery. There will be eight treatment rooms focused on sports recovery massage. The facilities will be designed to support a rigorous training regimen while promoting overall wellness and relaxation.
Collaborating with top nutritionists and experienced chefs, Zamaya will provide guests with personalized meal plans created based on a pre-arrival consultation, ensuring guests receive optimal nutritional support suited to their specific goals. The resort will also prioritize rest and relaxation by imposing a policy of zero amplified sound after 10 p.m. and will not serve alcohol on the property, helping guests to sleep well and rise early. With sustainability also a priority, Zamaya will avoid using single-use plastic throughout the property.
Zamaya aims to create a sanctuary for those who live and breathe training by combining luxury accommodations with unparalleled fitness facilities, set to put Tulum well and truly on the map for wellness tourism by attracting professional athletes, fitness retreat leaders, and those simply looking for a dedicated fitness centered vacation or extended stay to focus on health goals.
