Cancún and the Mayan Riviera

Arguably Mexico’s most famous resort destination, the Mayan Riviera lies on the historic Yucatan Peninsula and was created in the 1970s as a planned community/resort. There are pristine white sand beaches that border lush jungles, visitors can explore ancient ruins, the weather is unbeatable and the sheer volume of high-end accommodation is unparalleled in Latin America.

From innovative eco-reserves to charming colonial towns, the Mayan Riviera offers a real variety of activities. For those looking to truly immerse themselves in luxury during their stay, consider the Ritz-Carlton Cancún. From the outside it may seem like just another one of the area’s mega-resorts but this hotel is a classic, with incredible rooms, a spa you’ll never want to leave and truly spectacular beaches.

Mexico is a remarkable destination. From its vibrant and authentic local culture to its incredible resort towns and bustling metropolises, this Latin American jewel is the perfect luxury destination.
