Luxury Travel to the Mayan Riviera
The Mayan Riviera refers to the strip of Caribbean coastline on Mexico‘s Yucatan peninsula. It starts at Cancun and stretches south to Tulum and is characterised by beautiful white sandy beaches and sparkling turquoise water.
There is a spoiling choice of activities to do: scuba diving on Isla Cozumel, trips to cenotes, fishing, sailing, watersports, golf and visiting the wonderful Mayan sites of Tulum and Cobá. The world’s second-largest coral reef lies just off the shore, making this a real haven for water lovers.
Halfway between Cancun and Tulum is Playa del Carmen, one of the region’s most well-known resort towns. It is a lively place with nice restaurants and bars to explore. But for those looking for some time to relax away from the crowds, then our pick of luxury properties let you really appreciate the beauty of this part of Mexico.
