Discover the soul behind the sanctuary
The Legacy of Paraiso de la Bonita
A Sanctuary Devoted to Love by the Beach
Nestled in the heart of the Riviera Maya, Paraiso de la Bonita is more than a resort—it is a living love letter. Surrounded by lush mangroves and kissed by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, this sanctuary was born from a profound romantic gesture: architect Carlos Gosselin built and gifted the hotel to his beloved wife, whom he called La Bonita.
A Tribute to Art and Culture
Rather than numbering its suites, Paraiso de la Bonita names each after the places, countries, and cities visited by its original owners. Within its 90 oceanfront suites, hand-selected pieces of art reflect the richness of seven cultural regions. Textiles, ceramics, and furniture from Asia, India, Bali, the Mediterranean, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Africa come together in harmony, creating an atmosphere of global elegance centered on serenity, wellness, and romance.
A Philosophy Rooted in Wholeness
The resort’s soul is anchored in holistic wellbeing. From sunrise yoga by the sea to signature treatments and the exclusive Thalasso Pool, guests experience a blend of ancestral therapies and contemporary luxury designed to rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit.
A Place to Return to Yourself
Here, privacy is sacred, beauty is intentional, and every detail tells a story. From the architecture to the artwork, from the spa rituals to the cuisine, Paraiso de la Bonita invites guests not just to stay—but to reconnect, to reflect, and to remember that the truest luxury is the one that touches the soul.
The Soul of La Bonita
Cosmo
Cosmo, the Guardian of Paradise, roams the sunlit terraces and gardens with quiet grace. His vibrant feathers and steady gaze offer guests a moment of wonder, reminding us that beauty, like wisdom, often appears softly and unexpectedly in nature’s most timeless forms.
Sofia
Sofía, the beloved macaw of Paraiso de la Bonita, was taken far from home after the owner’s passing. Away from the gardens she loved, she grew silent and sad. Realizing her heart belonged here, her caretakers brought her back. Surrounded by familiar palms, she sang again. She remembered who she was.
Art Gallery
Luis Sottil’s works in Naturalismo Emocional® reflect the emotional spirit of nature. Each piece invites a moment of pause, guiding guests into a deeper connection with the world around them and with themselves. Art here is not decoration, but transformation.
Welcome Drink
Inspired by the sacred symbolism of Mayan jade, the Cucu Fizz blends cucumber, pineapple, and citrus into a refreshing welcome. Each sip honors ancestral energy and natural purity, offering a vibrant beginning to the experience that awaits in Paraiso de la Bonita.
Decorative Figures
Within the Bonita Piano Bar, the dragons Hope and Prosperity represent spiritual protection and abundance. Once part of a beloved suite, they now watch over new stories and quiet moments, reminding guests that every corner of the resort holds a living memory.
