Mayan Riviera (more than just Cancun)

Rent a luxury villa

Everywhere has its own beauty, but some of the most popular destinations to stay in the Riviera Maya include Tulum – a highly stylish beach destination – Playa del Carmen and the island of Cozumel. You’ll find sun, sea and sand in all three destinations, but ask our Concierge travel experts to recommend some beautiful, luxurious accommodation for you.

Discover some archaeology

Visiting the Mayan archaeological sites is an absolute must. Start by heading inland to the popular Chichen Itza, but get there early to avoid the crowds. Speak to our knowledgeable guides about arranging a tour that will thrill kids and adult culture buffs alike. Don’t miss the little-known gem that is Ek Balam, where you’re free to climb the various temples and inspect the ruins up close. Can you decipher those cryptic Mayan inscriptions?

Go scuba diving and snorkelling

Got an urge to swim with the fishes? If you want to go snorkelling or scuba diving in the Mayan Riviera, our Concierge experts can help to arrange an organised trip in association with a professional scuba diving outfit. It’s a great place for beginners too. As one of the world’s top scuba diving and snorkelling destinations, boasting an incredible coral reef, the Mayan Riveria’s crystal-clear seas and creatures won’t disappoint.

Get into eco-tourism and adventure

The archaeological eco-park Xcaret is a popular place to visit for families, as well as couples looking for a day or two of romantic adventure. Explore the coral reef aquarium, take in those pretty winged messengers in the butterfly pavillion, have a fin-tastic dolphin swimming experience and snorkel through caves, underground pools and natural underground rivers before relaxing on the beach. Turtle fans shouldn’t miss a trip to the Isla Mujeres Turtle Farm. Cenote Maya Park allows you to zip-line, rappel or just walk on foot into the vast and echoing cenote.

Charter a yacht

The Riviera Maya is a great holiday destination for the outdoor lover in general. Once you’ve had your fill of the nightlife and wonderful shopping, take to the seas and charter a yacht. We can help you organise yachts and catamarans for the day as part of a tour group, or privately for intimate getaways, private snorkelling cruises, corporate retreats or sailing trips.

Holidaying in the Mayan Riviera is a one-stop shop for fun, luxury and adventure in the Mexican sun, with plenty of activities to keep you occupied away from the bustling tourist haven of Cancun. Speak to our enthusiastic holiday reps today about arranging your own Mayan getaway.
