Description
This beautiful destination in the Yucatan Peninsula spans over 140 kilometers of seashore facing the second largest coral reef in the world and extends to the southern community of Carrillo Puerto, located some 98 kilometers south of Tulum, where you can enjoy unmatched white sand beaches with crystalline waters.
Besides Tulum, Riviera Maya also includes destinations such as Xpu-Ha, Puerto Aventuras, Tankah, and Xcalcel, which captivate visitors with their extraordinary beaches, where you can enjoy a few days of rest and relaxation. These are the places where time seems to have stood still, as to allow us to enjoy the peace of this paradise.
Akumal, located to the north of Tulum, is another destination of rare beauty, ideal for family vacations. Akumal is dotted with 200 entrances to underground water-filled caverns, which explains why it is such a sought-after destination for divers from all over the world.
People come to Riviera Maya seeking the peace and harmony it offers. You may sit for hours watching the ever-changing hues of the Caribbean Sea, or take advantage of the many types of area spas dedicated to health care and well-being. These range from luxury all-inclusive resorts to charming little clubs where you can forget about everything and let yourself be pampered to find a harmonious balance between mind and spirit.
In addition to peace and tranquility, Riviera Maya also offers cosmopolitan and animated places such as Playa del Carmen. The city has become a magnet for many foreigners and Mexicans who seek a new lifestyle where the nightlife and dining options of great metropolis exist in the laid-back rhythm of life in the Mexican Caribbean.
The must-do evening in Playa del Carmen begins with watching the sunset from one its many balconies, followed by a bit of barhopping through some of the stand-up bars in Quinta Avenida, and capped with a tasty supper in one of the many restaurants. Just last year, at least 20 new bars, restaurants or entertainment centers of diverse sorts have opened in the city.
The magic of Riviera Maya can hardly be expressed in words, so you must come to experience it first-hand. Here, paradise is indeed eternal. For more information, visit rivieramaya.com.
