Riviera Maya, located south of the Cancun International Airport on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, includes a stretch of beachfront towns such as Playa del Carmen, PlayaCar, Puerto Aventuras, Paraiso Beach, Akumal and Xel-Ha.

If you have a thirst for adventure, explore natural attractions including the Mayan ruins, world-class diving sites, magnificent waterfalls and a handful of eco parks with wildlife, jungles and underwater caves! The white beaches and turquoise waters are a magnet for holidaymakers and the calm, shallow bays are great for families.

Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
There are fleets of colectivo minibuses that travel up and down the coast between Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Cancun. Taxis and car hire is available everywhere. Most holidaymakers tend to stick to taxis. If you want to travel in style, there are also ferries and boat trips to Cozumel, or you could hire a Harley!
Dive Into The Cenotes
The beautiful cenotes (natural swimming holes) that can be found dotted around the Yucatan Peninsula are out of this world, and are perfect for exploring. But what about all the action beneath the water? Many of the cenotes have secret caves, so dive in for a magical underwater adventure!
Scuba Dive In Riviera Maya
Mexico's coastline is world-famous for its crystal clear waters and offers perfect diving conditions. Explore Riviera Maya's magnificent marine life when you dive, snorkel and swim and keep your eyes peeled for squids, turtles, and barracuda hiding in the colourful reefs. There are qualified instructors available to help you with all necessary equipment and training, so beginners can explore at their own pace!
Visit The Mayan Ruins
Even if you're not a history lover, the ancient Mayan ruins on this peninsular will leave you mesmerised. Trek through the green jungles to reach the Mayan ruins and sit back and relax on the white sand beaches nearby. Daily excursions leave from the resorts, so pick a trip and start exploring!
Day Trip To Tulum
If you fancy escaping the resort for a while, a day trip to Tulum is certainly worth it. This Mayan city is set aside from other ruins in Mexico due to its coastal location, and it comes complete with its very own beach. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the gorgeous Caribbean sea is where you'll find Tulum's incredibly well-preserved ruins. Once you've explored the Mayan history, hit the beach for an afternoon snooze on the sand!
