Riviera Maya
First stop to decompress from London? The beach, obvs. More specifically, Andaz within Mayakoba, a mega-resort near Cancun. Though if this sounds like hell, fear not because, despite it being one of four hotels within a compound, here is a modern, secluded paradise. Spread along a white sandy beach and winding lagoons home to tropical birds, iguanas and alligators (non-threatening, appaz), Andaz makes all-inclusive holibobs feel wholly chic.
