Playa del Carmen is situated on the Yucatán Peninsula and is the site of several stunning resorts that are sure to please the most itinerant traveler. Just 50 km from the
Cancun Airport, Playa del Carmen is Mexico’s best kept secret. This little gem has grown to be a favorite of those who truly know where to stay when visiting Mexico. From its humble beginnings as a sleepy little bedroom community to a world-class resort town in just a few short years, Playa del Carmen has everything anyone on holiday would need. The pristine, white sandy beaches are legendary for sun worshipping or engaging in every kind of water sport one can imagine. There are several five-star resorts suitable for families and those traveling for celebrations such as weddings and family reunions.
Peak season on the Yucatán takes place from December through April, with the Christmas and Spring Break holidays being the busiest time. But those who want to have fun in the sun won’t care what time of year it is, as the temperature in
Playa del Carmen stays in the eighties all year long.
Golfing is another favorite in this resort town where world-class greens call out for an early morning tee time. Relax in the shade of a tropical palm tree or take stroll through the tropical forests that separate several of the major resorts from each other.
Those on holiday with the family will want to check out the inspiring and breathtaking Aquatic Expedition where visitors can snorkel in a jungle lagoon and visit not one, but two famous cenotes, (underwater sinkholes), and explore at their own pace.
The Dolphin Discovery offers a dolphin swimming experience where you and your family will have the opportunity to receive all the affection of these tender and playful animals that always seem to smile and you won’t soon forget, and the Mayan Encounter offers explorers who dare the chance to climb the stairs of the tallest
Mayan Pyramid in the Northern Yucatán.
Playa del Carmen holidays are best spent with those loved ones, so if holiday plans include the entire family, or a romantic getaway just for two, there’s plenty to see and do in Playa del Carmen on holiday.
