The St. Regis Kanai Resort & The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
The operator is advertising Pesach 2027 on its own website.
Diamond Club runs a luxury Passover program across two neighboring beachfront resorts in the gated Kanai development on the Riviera Maya. The site describes the Edition and the St. Regis Luxe Tower C as reserved for program guests, with glatt (Bet Yosef) meat, cholov yisroel and shmura matzah under Rabbi Nissim Hilu. A large music and comedy lineup and a full children's camp are featured.

Passover Oasis returns to the Fairmont Mayakoba, a gated lagoon-and-beach resort near Playa del Carmen, for what it calls its 20th year. Meals are glatt kosher and catered by Levana, with lectures led by Rabbi Ari Israel and separate kids and teen programs. The site does not name the kashrut certifier or publish prices.
SLS Playa Mujeres
Playa Mujeres, Mexico
Royal Passover takes over the SLS resort at Playa Mujeres, north of Cancun, with supervision by Rabbi Yosef Birnbaum of MKS Mehadrin Kosher Services. The program is known for a heavy entertainment schedule, a large kids and teen operation, and one pool set aside for separate swimming. The About page invites guests for 2027, but the detailed pages still show the 2026 season.
Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya
Tulum, Mexico
ZonTravel and Gaya Tours take over the Conrad Tulum on the Riviera Maya, where every room has a plunge pool. Food is glatt, non-gebrokts and without kitniyot under the Mexican Ashkenazi community's Kosher Alef Alef supervision, with both Ashkenazi and Sephardic minyanim and separate swimming areas. The site still shows the 2026 season.
