The Mayan Riviera

The Mayan Riviera has all the natural beauty the Caribbean has to offer. There is a special combination between the magical background of the Mayan culture and the cosmopolitan blend of the people who live here.

The Riviera’s warmest welcome is its turquoise waters stirring up the powder white sand. This stretch of beach begins from Cancun to the Natural Biosphere of Sian Kaan. There is equal pleasure for those passive spirits that come to soak in the sun and breeze or those who actively enjoy water, wind and beauty. The Mayan Riviera was discovered for its first class scuba diving of Cozumel Island, 20 min. off Playa del Carmen. The fortunate weather allows vacation atmosphere through out the year.

Playa del Carmen is the heart of the Mayan Riviera and is famously indistinct for its barefoot pleasures and casual eventful nights. The best way to relate to this town is by walking on 5th avenue where you can find top restaurants and coffee shops for every mood. Countless shops that tease you for jewelry to fashion to hand made local art. Spa’s and breezy terraces to help you relax from your day. Only 1 block away from the beach, this town will make walking and people watching a sport. Playa del Carmen will quickly adopt you and enchant you with its atmosphere.

Along side the treasured beaches and vibrant town you can experience many of the Mayan Ruins left behind for us to admire and wonder what it must have been to have built these ancient treasures and live in such civilization. Within the largest and most popular you can visit Chichen-Itza, Coba and Tulum. The next impressive gem are the underwater sinkholes called ‘Cenotes’ which can only be found in very few parts of the world. These rock-sculpted pools carry the most pristine cool waters and are surrounded by untouched green foliage. Their deep transparent waters are the highlight to any experienced diver who can connect to other cenotes through tunnels.

There are also great tour opportunities: the Eco-parks, swimming with dolphins, Isla Mujeres (only 20 min off the coast of Cancun) or the Island of Holbox, who is visited once a year in the summer by the whale sharks famously known as ‘The Gentle Giant.’

Those who are visiting the Riviera Maya are in for a wide range of the finest pleasures, from tranquil relaxation to the dynamic gifts of nature. The Mayan Riviera grants every wish of leisure for families, couples and friends for every reason or time of the year.
