Riviera Maya, Mexico
Seats : 237 / 14,000sf (designed while at Rockwell Group)
Salum Vidanta Riviera Maya is composed of an outdoor marketplace and several interconnected outdoor restaurant experiences. The market is composed of rustic paved sidewalks and palapa-roofed retail stands containing jewelry, clothing, snacks, and drinks. Hammocks and other leisurely seating areas allow for a slow stroll through the market.
Step down from the market and you are underneath the large steel and wood canopies covering the waterside bars and restaurants. Here, the seating floats on the edge of a continuous shallow pool that connects the six restaurants. Colorful lighting, tiles, and seating is unique to each venue and is tied together with a warm and rustic wood structure. Large bars and open kitchen counters ensure a unique experience at each restaurant while careful shifts in elevation gently separates each venue.
