Mexico holidays - Unique culture teamed with Caribbean beauty

Discover Mexico's sun-dappled beaches and ancient ruins

The Yucatan section of Mexico, also known as the Caribbean Coast, is arguably this amazing country’s most impressive region.

Aside from the beaches – the stunning powdery beaches – you’ll also find breath-taking verdant jungle and impressive Mayan ruins. Alongside this natural beauty and fascinating history, this part of Mexico is also home to some of the world’s most luxurious resorts, which place an emphasis on customer service, lavish amenities and fantastic food.

The resorts are centred around the city of Cancun with beachside properties running all the way down the Riviera Maya. A short ferry ride away is the island of Cozumel, which has allures of fantastic scuba diving and ancient archaeological sites.

There’s no doubt that this is a fun-loving part of the world. Cancun has dethroned Acapulco as the party capital of Mexico and with the other draws of fine weather, great beaches and iconic historical curiosities, it’s not hard to see why it has gained such popularity.

This part of the country is undoubtedly driven by tourism and as such the major cities can come across as overdeveloped. If you’d rather have a more authentic and rustic experience, venture out to some of the smaller towns or visit some of the less-travelled Mayan ruins.
