Mayan Riviera - stunning beaches in Mexico
The Mayan Riviera on the east coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is one of the world’s dream holiday locations. Its idyllic location combines powder-white sands, turquoise waters, magnificent coral reefs and proximity to all the archaeological and geological delights of this region of Mexico. From Playa del Secreto to Punta Allen in the south, is a 160 km long stretch of beautiful coastline. The Mayan Riviera, named after the ancient Maya civilisation, is today home to tiny villages, holiday resorts, Mayan archaeological sites, and of course those spectacular beaches.
On the Mayan Riviera are found hundreds of luxury hotels and smaller establishments, all offering you and your family great hospitality and entertainment. Cancun airport is within easy reach.
Mayan Riviera - coral reef and unspoilt landscape to enjoy
Holidaying on the Mayan Riviera amounts to far more than lazing in the Caribbean sun. Visitors should enjoy excursions to the renowned archaeological sites of Chichen Itza, Tulum and Xcaret. You can embark on jeep safaris into rainforest and mangrove swamps, or take a boat trip out to the island of Cozumel, a haven for snorkelling and scuba diving thanks to its spectacular coral reefs. There are coral reefs all along the Mayan Riviera, with Xel-Ha considered a particular snorkelling paradise. At the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve you’ll find a 1.3 million acre eco-tourism site featuring lagoons, tropical forests and a colony of turtles.
Mayan Riviera - atmospheric evenings
A holiday on the Mayan Riviera wouldn’t be complete without a taste of nightlife Mexican-style. Watch the Mariachi bands in action while sipping a Tequilla or robust red wine. Try the local fare - re-fried beans, tortillas, tamales and enchiladas and fresh produce galore. While staying on the Mayan Riviera you could also go horse-riding, cycling, paragliding, hiking and even swim with dolphins.
