Mexico's Mayan Riviera

The Caribbean Coast of Mexico south of Cancun is called the Mayan Riviera because of its beautiful beaches and international flair.

There is much to see in the Mayan Riviera. Famous Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum are an easy day trip in the Mayan Riviera. You can see evidence of the advanced technologies of the ancient Maya and learn a few words in the Mayan language from the people around you.

The warm Caribbean waters off the Mayan Riviera coast are home to both tropical and gulf species of sealife who live on the healthy reef. You can snorkel or scuba dive within minutes of any Akumal Luxury Vacation rental home. Sports fishing is available any day, anglers particularly come to Mexico for marlin, and some species run year round.

If you want to spend a night out on the town, the international restaurants and clubs of Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel are close at hand. Or if you prefer to relax, you can lounge on the beach and drink margaritas all day.

The Mayan Riviera is easily reached from Cancun's international airport. Flights from Miami and Houston are under 2 hours and there are daily flights from Europe, Canada and the US.

Mexico's Mayan Riviera is fringed with beaches which are the stuff of dreams. The powdery white sand is made of fragments of fossilized coral. Because of its special nature, the sand never gets hot. Akumal has some of the best beaches in the Mayan Riviera.
