Adults-Only Resort Opens North of Cancún with Lazy River

Costa Mujeres, Mexico — Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres, a new adults-only all-inclusive resort, has opened its doors with 599 suites, a lazy river, and a surf wave pool/FlowRider experience in the fast-growing Costa Mujeres area.

Located directly on the sand of Costa Mujeres, the newest coastal strip about 20 to 30 minutes north of Cancún’s main hotel zone and roughly 10 minutes from the ferry terminal to Isla Mujeres, this resort offers travelers a quieter alternative to the traditional Hotel Zone.

Costa Mujeres is increasingly attracting travelers seeking newer resorts, calmer waters, and fewer crowds, and is rapidly becoming a hotspot for luxury wellness tourism, with spa-focused adults-only resorts appearing along this coast.

Ocean Allure fits perfectly into that environment:

• Adults-only all-inclusive (18+)
• 599 contemporary suites with ocean-inspired design and options like swim-up rooms and rooftop Privilege areas
• Direct access to a wide white-sand beach with typically calmer, clearer waters thanks to nearby Isla Mujeres acting as a natural barrier

The resort opens with:

• Two main pools for daily relaxation
• A dedicated wave pool with a surf simulator (marketed in some channels as a FlowRider-style experience)
• A lazy river for afternoons of floating and relaxing
• Rooftop infinity pools in the Privilege area overlooking the Caribbean

Having a lazy river and a surf-style wave pool in an adults-only setting remains quite rare in the Cancún area.

Some practical tips from The Cancún Sun:

• Check if the surf simulator has an extra cost. Many resorts in the region charge per session or operate it during limited time slots.
• Expect more energy around the wave pool. The design is intended so one pool area remains calmer while the activity zone attracts music, games, and social vibes.
• Use the lazy river strategically. Mid-morning and late afternoon tend to be the quietest times before and after the main daytime entertainment peaks.

On the accommodations and amenities side, Ocean Allure offers:

• 599 suites with modern, beachy decor; several categories offer pool access or premium views
• Eight restaurants, including an international buffet, beachfront seafood, Asian and Italian options, and a gourmet spot for Privilege guests
• Ten bars, from lobby and piano bars to sports and rooftop bars, plus an ice cream parlor and a café for mid-afternoon snacks
• A full Despacio Spa Centre with hydrotherapy, treatment rooms, and a strong wellness focus, aligning with the wellness trend seen in Costa Mujeres
• Additional entertainment like a bowling alley, game room, theater shows, and a 24-hour gym with tennis and pickleball courts

Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres is a perfect fit if:

• You want adults-only energy without giving up the water features of large resorts
• You love the idea of combining lazy river relaxation with a pool surf session
• You prefer a quieter base north of Cancún with the option to dive into nightlife rather than sleeping in the middle of it
• You are planning a couples getaway, a major birthday, or a friends trip where “no kids in the pool” is part of the brief

Some final practical notes for planning a stay:

• Calendar: Ocean Allure will open for stays starting in early December 2025, so if you love being among the first to try a resort (and don’t mind some “new property” growing pains), winter and spring dates are already in play.
• Airport transfers: Expect approximately 30 to 35 minutes from Cancún International Airport to Costa Mujeres, depending on traffic.
• Area research: Before committing, it is recommended to read guides on why Costa Mujeres is grabbing attention to ensure the coast’s quieter, newer vibe matches your travel style.
• Amenity planning: If the surf simulator, spa, or rooftop Privilege benefits are high on your must-do list, look closely at room categories and the fine print: some experiences may be reserved for certain tiers or carry an extra fee.

For adults wanting a brand-new resort with lazy river chills, FlowRider-style thrills, and that increasingly sought-after Costa Mujeres location, Ocean Allure is one of the most interesting openings seen near Cancún in a long time.
