Holiday in Riviera Maya

What makes Riviera Maya special as a destination?

The Riviera Maya stretches over 160 kilometers along the Caribbean coast from Cancun to Tulum and is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, the second-largest coral reef in the world, and fascinating Mayan ruins right on the coast make this region a unique vacation destination that effortlessly combines beach holidays, cultural experiences, and nature adventures. Along the coast, the highlights line up: Playa del Carmen with its lively Quinta Avenida and European flair, the breathtaking ruins of Tulum perched on a cliff above the Caribbean Sea, the Xcaret theme park with its spectacular evening show, and the eco-parks Xel-Ha and Xplor. Beneath the surface, a magical cave system of cenotes awaits, where one can swim and dive in crystal-clear water among stalactites. The Riviera Maya offers the perfect experience for every type of traveler: Families find ideal conditions in all-inclusive resorts with kids' clubs and water parks. Couples enjoy romantic boutique hotels and spa retreats in Tulum. Adventurers explore the underwater world by diving at the reef, take zipline tours through the jungle, or visit the lesser-known Mayan sites of Coba and Ek Balam in the hinterland. The region is warm year-round, with the months of November to April considered the ideal travel time.
