Destination: Riviera Maya

The Riviera Maya, a natural paradise adjacent to the Caribbean Sea, is a coastal strip that stretches more than 75 miles from Puerto Morelos to Punta Allen, in the state of Quintana Roo. The climate in this Yucatan Peninsula region is subtropical with an average temperature of 77°F.

Considered one of the fastest growing tourist destinations over the last decade, here you can relax at luxurious resorts nestled along the coast or enjoy recreational activities on the beach and in the jungle. Many resorts offer exclusive golf courses, spas and white sandy beaches where you can bask in the sun and indulge in all kinds of water sports. For example, you can scuba dive deep in Cenotes or take in the spectacular sights of the Great Meso-American Barrier Reef. You can also discover ancient Mayan cities such as Coba and Tulum, and visit incredible ecological reserves such as Sian Ka'an, which was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Here you can take part in eco-tourism outings, sailfish and marlin fishing, and other activities such as snorkeling or horseback riding, while enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. During your visit to the Riviera Maya, do not miss out on Xcaret and Xel-Há, two of Mexico’s most important theme parks, where you can see fascinating indigenous aquatic sea life while snorkeling in underground rivers. At dusk, don’t forget to visit the spectacular nightclubs where you can chat with friends over drinks, or visit a restaurant and treat yourself to a delicious lobster dinner. These are just some of things you can do in the Riviera Maya, which is why it has earned a reputation as the ideal destination to enjoy life.
