By championing standards which promote the sustainable use of resources that conserve the planet.

Located within a 1,600 acre enclave and surrounded by wildlife and jungle of the Riviera Maya, a visit to Rosewood Mayakoba is a must for those who enjoy a beautiful natural environment.

ITC Classics is offering a seven-night stay from £1,929 per person, based on two adults sharing a lagoon suites, including daily breakfast, return economy class flights and private transfers.
