Cancun and the Riviera Maya are located on the north-eastern edge of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and is more than just a beach destination. As the gateway to the Mexican Caribbean, it's several destinations in one, serving as the ideal base for exploring the coast to the south and north of the resort.  There’s a myriad of spectacular marine life to be found offshore, on a trip to the coral reefs of Cozumel or Isla Mujeres, a haven for snorkelers and scuba divers alike. 

The beautiful shoreline continues beyond, down the Riviera Maya to Tulum, where you’ll experience a generally slower pace of life, even though many bars, restaurants and nightclubs can still be found in the resorts of Playa Del Carmen and Tulum, if you seek a little more of a night scene. 

Exquisite food and drinks are two more reasons to travel to this destination. The region’s amazing hotels have great international and Mexican restaurants as well as sophisticated bars. Plus visiting this region gives travellers the opportunity to also learn about ancient history and experience the magnificent Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza and Tulum, showcasing the remains of an ancient culture from two thousand years ago.
