The newly opened AVA Resort Cancun, operated by AIC Hotel Group, is ready to welcome your group and incentive clients with its 1,600 ocean-facing rooms, 27 F&B outlets and an enormous 22,000-sf spa and wellness center.
Additional features include a fitness center, pickleball courts, a boxing ring, a custom-designed waterpark and a 120,000-sf saltwater bay. Six swimming pools and various indoor entertainment options ensure there’s something for everyone. The 2025 IRF Invitational, for one, will be meeting there next June 1-4.
“We’re thrilled to introduce AVA Resort Cancun, filling a notable gap in the market for a luxury all-inclusive resort designed for multigenerational guests,” said Ash Tembe, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at AIC Hotel Group, in a press statement. “With exceptionally high-quality dining outlets, stunning architecture and design, and unparalleled amenities and accommodations, AVA raises the bar in Mexican hospitality, so it has been an honor to welcome our first guests to experience the unique blend of luxury and inclusivity that only AVA can offer.”
A Look at AVA Resort Cancun
Each room, suite, and villa offers direct ocean views, a unique feature in the region’s all-inclusive market. The villas, the highest room category, come with private pools, full bars, kitchens, dining areas for up to 12 guests and dedicated butler services. They also offer a full menu of luxury amenities and custom beauty and skincare products.
AVA Resort Cancun has 27 different food and beverage outlets, avoiding typical all-inclusive menus. Your clients can enjoy five-star dining, poolside snacks, global food markets and taquerias.
The resort’s wine cellar features an extensive list of international labels, and its mixologists create artistic cocktails and offer hands-on classes for groups. Nightlife options include craft cocktail lounges, a speakeasy, an art-focused bar with rotating digital artwork, wine bars, sports bars, and a nightclub with guest DJs and live music.

AVA Resort Cancun also boasts 90,000 square feet of event space for all kinds of group events.
Sustainability is a key focus for AVA Resort Cancun. AVA Bay uses Crystal Lagoons Technology, which consumes significantly less energy and chemicals than traditional pools. The resort has installed solar panels for energy efficiency and uses sustainable plaster throughout, aiming to preserve Cancun’s ecosystems and reduce waste.
Guests visiting this summer can enjoy modern Mexican cuisine at Copal, Teppanyaki at Kita, Italian at Veranda, wood-fired grilling at Black Iron and treats from the ice cream shop, Konos. The gym, spa, pools, bowling alley and bars are ready to welcome your clients now, with additional amenities and restaurants set to open by early fall.
