Destination - Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is one of the most attractive destinations in the Mexican Caribbean. Located in the heart of the Mayan Riviera, 42 miles south of Cancun, it has an ideal subtropical climate with an average temperature of 77º F and sunny days throughout most of the year. During the summer, the maximum temperature can reach 95º F. 

At Playa del Carmen you'll find beautiful beaches looking out onto the Caribbean Sea, which are ideal places to relax or do all kinds of water sports: snorkeling, windsurfing and even kitesurfing, a new and exhilarating extreme sport that combines surfing and parasailing. For those who like scuba diving, there are boats departing from the docks which offer exciting outings to the Great Mayan Reef, the second largest coral reef system in the world. There you can dive among multicolored fish and coral that has existed for more than 500 years. Near Playa del Carmen you can discover Playa Paamul and Playa Paraiso, two beautiful beaches with calm waters and gorgeous ecological parks: Xcaret and Xel-Ha. Also nearby are numerous cenotes where you can do snorkeling on the surface, or cave diving below, while exploring the amazing underground river systems.

Come nightfall, we recommend that you take a stroll along Quinta Avenida, one of Playa del Carmen's most happening areas. The avenue is lined with restaurants, bars, cosmopolitan nightclubs and a shopping mall with exclusive boutiques, clothing stores and jewelry shops.
