Southern Mediterranean cuisine, curated for long lunches and served in a sharing style, sets the tone. A thoughtful wine and spritz list complements the day, while the music shifts with its pace. As the sun softens, the afternoon gives way to intimate evenings by the water, with dinner unfolding just steps from the shore.

Once the residence of the De León family, this historic lagoon-side property now houses a restaurant. Shaped by journeys across Latin America, its rooms hold a collection of flavours, art, objects, and memories, centred around the amate tree at its heart. At the table, Latin American cuisine meets distinctive regional flavours and an exceptional wine collection.

A thoughtfully appointed home-style kitchen sits beside a dedicated herb garden, offering an intimate look at Alila Mayakoba’s culinary and beverage story. Guests join the team to cook, taste, mix, and discover through hands-on cooking and mixology, tastings, and chef encounters. Each experience explores the ingredients, techniques, producers, and traditions that shape the resort’s culinary identity.

Located at the lobby, Xiim is woven into the everyday rhythm of Alila Mayakoba from morning rituals to effortless moments throughout the day. Homemade pastries, carefully prepared coffee, protein smoothies, zero-proof cocktails, and thoughtfully made items to go offer something restorative or indulgent whenever the day calls for it.

Yucatán cuisine from southeastern Mexico is prepared in an open kitchen, using local ingredients, bright citrus, earthy achiote, and slow-roasted techniques. Beside the lagoon and surrounded by mangroves, the restaurant offers a contemporary take on the region, connected to its traditions and the land around Alila Mayakoba.

Ninguno captures the easy going spirit of a neighbourhood Mexican taquería. Guests tick their choices on a simple checkbox menu before settling in for classic tacos, micheladas, aguas frescas, and margaritas. Colourful, informal, and a little messy in the best way, Ninguno is about great tacos, relaxed service, lively music, and the easy energy of the Mexican Caribbean coast.

Tucked by the lagoon, The Fire of Agave is Na Restaurant’s dedicated mezcalería. Its selection of small-batch artisanal mezcals is constantly changing: each expression is available by the bottle, and once it’s gone, a new one takes its place. Guests can explore different agaves, regions, and producers alongside Pica Pica snacks and open-air fire pits.
