Destination Info
The world-class resort area of Cancun and the Riviera Maya is located on Mexico’s famed Yucatan Peninsula, bordered on one side by the beautiful Caribbean Sea, and on the other side by lush, palm-studded tropical jungle.
The main attractions are the spectacular beaches with powdery-white sand and stunning, turquoise-blue waters which make for laid-back sunbathing as well as for water sports such as snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, scuba-diving, pleasure boating, jet-skiing, and parasailing.
Cancun and the Riviera Maya are also located within a short driving distance from important archeological sites of the Mayan civilization, such as the mysterious ancient cities of Tulum, Coba, and Chichen-Itza. During the day, visitors can enjoy the beach, shop for handicrafts or international brand-name fashion designs, explore the ruins, or have an exciting day in one of several ecological water parks.
At night, Cancun and the Riviera Maya light up with tempting dining spots offering everything from regional seafood specialties and Mexican faire to international haute cuisine at its finest. Following your meal, visitors can enjoy a moonlight glass of wine beachside, or dance until sunrise in an infinite selection of comfortable bars and trendy nightclubs.
The area’s residents are an eclectic combination of native Mayans, relocated Mexicans, and foreigners who have taken up residence here because they love the ambience and lifestyle. All of us welcome you—we’re proud to share this delightful Caribbean paradise with you!
