Arriving at Nizus Resort and Spa is transportive. The natural materials-stone, wood, and water everywhere — ground you in time and place, while the dramatic proportions offer space for your mind to wander. Set against the untamed elegance of this five-star sanctuary in Cancún where jungle and beach converge, Fall’s contrasting tones and textures strike a thrilling balance between polish and provocation. From sharp-tailored shoulders to skin-grazing hemlines, leather jumpers, and a dip into menswear, there’s no look out of reach for this adventurous traveler.

The impossibly cool Havana Lounge is dark and moody, and features an extensive selection of rums and tequilas to complement a hand-rolled cigar. Or enjoy a late-day respite overlooking the resort’s reflecting ponds.

At the far end of Nizuc is the aptly named La Punta Bar & Grille. This adults-only hideaway marries verdant jungle with an expanse of sand. Peruse the menu of freshly grilled seafood and local fare—if you can take your eyes off the sunset.

Spread across 29 acres, Nizuc offers plenty of shoreline to call your own. Explore the pristine coastal waters by paddleboard and kayak, or charter a yacht excursion to truly immerse yourself in the Gulf.

Beads? Embellishments? They’re in the bag—especially when it comes from Valentino and Fendi.

Zip it up. But make it fashion with Van Cleef & Arpels 18k white gold violet sapphire and diamond Zip Antique Couples Convertible necklace/bracelet. Originally created in the 1930s through a collaboration between Renée Puissant, the Maison’s visionary Creative Director, and the Duchess of Windsor, the innovative design transformed the everyday zipper into a work of art and now has found a home at YAFA, where it waits for you to discover it. 

How would you wear it? Around your neck or wrapped around your wrist?
