Riu Ventura Is Bringing Rooftop Pools, Global Flavors, and All-Inclusive Luxury to Cancun This Winter

The Caribbean sun spills across El Mirador Beach, a stretch of shoreline that has become one of Cancún’s most photographed spots. It’s where travelers stop to frame the famous sign, where turquoise water meets the city’s vibrant pulse — and soon, it will be home to the newest symbol of RIU’s vision for modern hospitality.

Opening Dec. 2025, Hotel Riu Ventura isn’t just another resort on Cancún’s coast. It’s a bold statement from CEO Luis Riu, a property designed to reinvent what an all-inclusive escape can be. This is more than a new place to stay — it’s a place to start a new story in the Mexican Caribbean.

In the Heart of Cancún

Location is everything, and Riu Ventura’s setting gives guests a front-row seat to both the beach and the city. Step outside and you’re on El Mirador’s soft sand, facing that iconic turquoise view. But within minutes, you can also be immersed in urban life: shopping centers, entertainment, local culture. The hotel has been imagined as a seamless bridge between Cancún’s natural beauty and its energetic rhythm, making it easy to dip between serenity and excitement.

Rooms That Anticipate Your Every Need

With more than 700 rooms, Riu Ventura has been built to match the pace of the modern traveler. High-speed Wi-Fi and thoughtful workspaces cater to those mixing business with pleasure, while cutting-edge digital entertainment and carefully curated design details create spaces that invite relaxation. Whether you want a front-row Caribbean view or a peaceful retreat within the resort, you can choose the atmosphere that fits your trip.

A Pool in the Sky

The raised pool will be one of the most photographed places in Cancún next winter. Suspended above the resort, it offers panoramic views of the sea and unforgettable sunsets. It’s more than a pool — it’s a stage, a place where evenings unfold against the horizon and every photo feels cinematic. This elevated design is pure Luis Riu: imaginative, ambitious, and built to surprise.

Global Flavors Meet the Caribbean

Dining here is a journey. The resort’s international buffet anchors a lineup that spans Mexican classics, Asian specialties, Mediterranean cuisine, cafés and terraces, and themed bars serving signature Caribbean cocktails. Each restaurant and bar has been designed to create its own atmosphere, turning every meal into an experience. You could spend a week here and never dine the same way twice.

Entertainment for Every Kind of Traveler

Riu Ventura is meant for families, couples, and groups alike. Kids’ and teens’ clubs create lively hubs for younger guests, while evening shows, water sports, and curated daily activities make it easy to fill each day with something new. Whether you’re looking to unwind, dive into adventure, or find a mix of both, the resort is set up to make every moment count.

Elite Club: A World Within a World

For those who want to take it further, Elite Club unlocks an extra tier of exclusivity. Think personalized check-in, access to private areas, the best room views, and thoughtful touches that elevate the experience. It’s RIU’s premium layer — a way of turning a vacation into something tailored and memorable.

Dec. 2025: The Beginning of a New Story

When Riu Ventura opens Dec. 6, it won’t just add rooms to Cancún’s hotel landscape. It will bring jobs, energy, and new possibilities to one of the Caribbean’s most beloved destinations. And for travelers, it will mark the arrival of a fresh way to experience Cancún — with RIU’s signature warmth, a spectacular beachfront setting, and a level of design that’s both forward-thinking and unmistakably Mexican Caribbean.

An All-Inclusive Escape, Perfectly Crafted

From dining to entertainment to the turquoise sea just steps away, Riu Ventura’s all-inclusive concept has been built to anticipate what guests want most: ease, comfort, and connection. Every detail reflects RIU’s commitment to making guests feel at home, wrapped in luxury and hospitality that feels effortless.

Prices at Riu Ventura

What about rates? They’re pretty compelling, at least at the outset in December. Starting with the Dec. 6 debut, rates start as low as $252 all-inclusive, according to Google Hotels.

It’s all part of a major wave of new hotels that are redefining the landscape in Cancun.
