Cancun is the perfect destination for families and anyone looking to relax and indulge in a luxury beach vacation without stress. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy a luxury catamaran in Cancun, a scuba diving session, a tour of archaeological sites, or simply disconnect by the beach.
Today, we’ll show you the best places to visit on your next trip to this beautiful beach and how to have fun in style.
For groups of friends who want to enjoy the nightlife or those who can’t stand sitting still, we recommend heading to Playa del Carmen as soon as you arrive in Cancun. Playa del Carmen offers something for everyone and is located about 50 minutes south of Cancun.
At the beach, you can rent lounge chairs and take advantage of the shallow waters for swimming. In the evening, you can go shopping on 5th Avenue, where you'll find the best shops and enjoy the vibrant nightlife.
Xplor Park is an adventure park for the entire family that you can’t miss. You can take a zipline through the trees, swim in caves with bats, go on a jeep safari, slide down extreme water slides, zipline, paddle through caves, and enjoy meals inside the park.
Xel-Há is a water amusement park filled with colorful fish, cliffs for jumping, jungle bike rides, paddling, and endless adventures. While the ticket cost may not be cheap, every peso is worth it.
The park also offers the opportunity to swim with dolphins, though this comes at an additional cost.
Along with Xplor and Xel-Há, Grupo Xcaret offers several other parks. You can buy multi-day passes to visit different parks, allowing you to explore new places each day at a better price.
Many people visit Akumal to snorkel and swim with sea turtles. Unfortunately, over the years, the turtles developed an illness and began to suffer from a type of cancer, which has led to restrictions—touching them is no longer allowed, even if they swim near you.
The beach is divided into different sections, and there's a marked path with buoys that must be followed. It’s a unique and enjoyable experience.
Rent a private yacht in Cancun and visit the fantastic island of Cozumel, located right next to Playa del Carmen. Once on the island, you’ll find many things to do and plenty of opportunities to relax. You can rent jeeps and drive around.
It takes no more than 45 minutes to circle the entire island, so stop along the way if you find a beautiful or cozy beach. Fantastic beaches, scenic viewpoints, and restaurants can be found all over the island.
Take advantage of your yacht rental and head to the tropical paradise of Isla Mujeres. The journey takes only 30 minutes, and once you arrive, you can snorkel around coral reefs and enjoy a unique and photogenic experience. Isla Mujeres is a must-see stop when visiting Cancun.
Enjoy a different kind of trip in Cancun and make the most of everything this destination has to offer. With luxury and comfort, you’ll experience the attractions we’ve recommended, all while ensuring maximum relaxation and fun for the entire family.
