Fairmont Mayakoba was designed and built specially considering our mangrove’s protection. These forests of the coastline are considered the “kidneys of our planet” as they are responsible for cleaning the water in our coral reefs.
During its construction phase Fairmont Mayakoba preserved most of the land’s natural jungles, flora and fauna. By implementing an ancient Mayan technique called “socoleo” (used to highlight the beauty of plants by pruning and replanting them) more than 1,500 trees were rescued and relocated all around the property. Today, those plants have grown and multiplied, and some are on the process of becoming mature trees.
During the property’s construction phase, there were also special measures taken to care for the animals found onsite. More than 40 species, including exotic birds and iguanas, where relocated for safety. Additionally, during the construction phase the hotel made sure to preserve green areas between the buildings and casitas, creating a natural habitat for many spices
