Mayan Riviera, Mexico: Beach & Culture Holidays & Tours + All Inclusive Resorts
The Caribbean beaches found along the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula are legendary. Known as the Mayan Riviera, Mexico beach & culture holidays & tours to this region offer a wide variety of water sports, adventure activities and golf, as well as a wide choice of luxury all inclusive resorts. Some of Mexico’s most famous ancient Mayan ruins are also within easy reach.
Stretching from Cancun in the north, through Playa Del Carmen to Tulum in the south, Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays and tours offer miles and miles of glorious sandy beaches. The wonderful climate and warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea have encouraged the development of many luxury all-inclusive resorts, but there are also delightful boutique hotels set back from the beach, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy the local culture and cuisine.
Xplore Adventure Park offers some of the best zip-lines in the world, and the opportunity to swim and raft in crystal clear underground rivers, surrounded by spectacular stalagmites and stalactites. On Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays, & tours from all inclusive resorts, you can swim with dolphins or manatees at Xel-Ha natural water park, or enjoy a day of culture and fun at Xcaret theme park.
As this is the cradle of Maya civilisation, on Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays and tours from all inclusive resorts, a visit to one of the ancient ruins is a must. Tulum is the closest, but Coba and the world famous Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza are also within reach on a day trip.
You can also visit (or stay on) the island of Cozumel, the largest of Mexico’s Caribbean islands, reached by ferry from Playa del Carmen. Situated on the Mesoamerican Reef, the second longest in the world, the island has some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling in the world. The island is covered with thick jungle and is home to Punta Sun Park ecological reserve. It is also a cruise port.
On Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays, and tours from all inclusive resorts, you can also explore smaller Caribbean islands such as quiet Holbox, with its flamingos, pelicans, manta rays and whale sharks. Isla Contoy is a bird sanctuary, whilst Isla Mujeres (island of women) offers snorkelling and scuba diving on coral reefs, swimming with dolphins, sailing, Mayan temple ruins, Punta Sur lighthouse and a sea turtles sanctuary.

More information on Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays, tours & all Inclusive resorts:
Cancun and the Mayan Riviera combine plush hotels and stunning white sand beaches with downtown areas bursting with taco bars, jazz clubs and an energetic night life. This is one of the most popular beach destinations in the country and on Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays, and tours from all inclusive resorts, there truly is something for everyone – from water sports to golf, snorkelling, scuba diving and traditional Ballet Folklorico. All this in a warm tropical climate with stunning surroundings, fabulous Mexican cuisine and the best of modern amenities.
The ruins at Tulum date from the 13th century, and are scenically located overlooking one of the best beaches in Mexico, with clear jade coloured seas. Tulum was an important Mayan trading port and was heavily fortified on the vulnerable landward side with a still surviving wall that is up to 5m high, 8m thick and 400m long. Notable buildings here include El Castillo (the castle) and the temples of the Frescoes and the Descending God, which can be easily visited on Mayan Riviera Mexico beach & culture holidays, and tours from all inclusive resorts.
By contrast, the Mayan ruins at Coba are buried deep in jungle and only partially excavated, so they feel more authentic. You can hire a bike and have fun exploring on your own, as the site is arranged around two lagoons, with elevated pathways that radiate in various directions. The longest path is 62 miles.
