Spring Break, Elevated

Destination: Riviera Maya, Mexico

Dates: February 28-March 5, 2026

Accommodations: UNICO 20°87°

Adults Only | 18+


Think spring break with better food, better cocktails, beautiful pools, and a resort that feels polished without being stuffy.


UNICO 20°87° is adults-only and all-inclusive, with a strong focus on Mexican design, art, food, and culture. It’s about 70 minutes from either Cancún or Tulum airport and has 448 suites, three pools, five restaurants, and a coffee shop.


This is the kind of trip I’d picture for moms traveling with college-age daughters, friends traveling together, or anyone who wants a spring break escape that still feels grown-up.

Why Unico?


UNICO feels polished without feeling formal, with a strong sense of place woven into the design, food, and overall experience.


What I think you’ll appreciate most:


  • Adults only — every guest is 18+, so the atmosphere feels more relaxed and grown-up.

  • A pool for every mood — whether you want music and energy, something in the middle, or a quieter place to unwind, you can choose the vibe that fits the day.

  • Food and cocktails worth looking forward to — dining is a real part of the experience here, not just something you do between activities.

  • Easy to get around — the resort is compact enough that you’re not spending half your day walking from one end to the other.

  • Plenty to do without over-scheduling — spa time, yoga, mixology, cooking classes, painting, salsa, aqua activities, and more.

  • Easy access to nearby excursions — perfect if you want to mix a few adventure days into your pool and resort time.

Know Before You Go


A few things I want to be transparent about:


  • This is not a wild nightlife resort. The nightlife is limited and the overall atmosphere is more relaxed and sophisticated.
  • The shoreline is long and scenic, but it can be rocky in some areas, and sargassum can be an issue depending on the season. The water itself is that gorgeous blue-turquoise color, but this isn’t the resort I’d choose for someone whose top priority is a perfect, powder-soft swimming beach.


Planning fee waived for this featured getaway. Custom trip requests may be subject to my standard planning and design fee.
