SUSTAINABILITY AT FAIRMONT MAYAKOBA

Sustainable since its construction

Fairmont Mayakoba’s unique design was developed with crucial consideration to our mangrove protection. These forests of the coastline are considered the “kidneys of our planet” as they are responsible for cleaning our ecosystem’s water. 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.
