Riviera Maya vacations

South of Cancun along Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Riviera Maya is known for its beaches, high-end resorts and ancient Mayan ruins.    

Rest and relaxation can be found anywhere on its more than 200 kms of white sands plus adventure along the coast, whether snorkelling, diving or on a catamaran as these waters are home to the world’s second-largest coral reef, a protected natural resource.  

The beachside city of Playa del Carmen is a popular spot for shopping and local experiences, or there are several championship golf courses to tee off at. Riviera Maya is also home to jungle landscapes with adventure eco-parks, thriving wildlife, large archaeological sites of ancient Mayan civilizations including Tulum, Chichén Itzá and Coba, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere and thousands of swimmable cenotes.
