Iberostar Playa Paraíso Golf Club
Iberostar Playa Paraíso Golf Club
Iberostar Playa Paraíso Golf Club captures the pure spirit of Caribbean golf, blending championship design with the rhythm of Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Created by P. B. Dye and opened in 2005, the course is a dramatic and beautifully sculpted layout surrounded by jungle, lakes, and natural limestone formations. It is bold, creative, and filled with personality, a course that challenges and inspires in equal measure.
The routing features elevated tees, deep bunkers, and rolling fairways shaped by Dye’s unmistakable architectural flair. Natural sinkholes and cenotes appear throughout the property, while stone bridges and gentle elevation changes give the course an organic flow. Each hole offers a new visual composition of light and texture, especially as the sun filters through the jungle canopy. It is a thrilling test for players who appreciate artistry in design and adventure in play.
Cypress and Salt curates Iberostar escapes that pair championship golf with five-star indulgence. Guests enjoy all-inclusive luxury at Iberostar Grand Paraíso or Coral Level at Iberostar Selection, curated culinary experiences, spa treatments inspired by the tropics, and access to the pristine beaches of Playa Paraíso. This is Riviera Maya golf reimagined, vivid, exciting, and unforgettable.
