It‘s easily one of the most irresistible destinations in the world where a harmonious blend of luxury and nature meet. Explore a wealth of fascinating history in the ancient cities of Maya, climb a number of the Mayan Pyramids and visit one of the new 'Seven Wonders of the World' - the Kukulkan Pyramid at Chichen-Itza.

A beautiful stretch of coastline lies on the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula; the Mayan Riviera boasts the resort destinations of Playa del Carmen, Cancun and the island of Cozumel. Watersports activities here include snorkelling to see the tropical reefs and fish, stingray and dolphin swims and scuba diving. Puerto Vallarta is a cosmopolitan Pacific coastal city with a charming mile-long seaside promenade punctuated with art installations. There are many fine restaurants where you can enjoy a leisurely meal before heading to one of the lively bars or clubs to enjoy the rest of your night. Traditional Mexican charm awaits at San Jose Del Cabo in Los Cabos. By contrast, the area also has Cabo San Lucas which is a buzzing town with a well-established nightlife scene. There are many quality hotels to choose from to suit most budgets and tastes, including properties with ultra-luxurious spas and those situated on or near some of the best golf courses in Mexico.

Leisure Activities

Mayan Culture

Mexico is one of the best destinations to discover the wonders of the Mayan culture. Although the Maya settled throughout central America, the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico has probably a higher concentration of well-preserved constructions. The most famous of all of them all is the Kukulkan Pyramid at Chichen Itza. Other interesting sites include Tulum, the Magician’s Pyramid at Uxmal and Palenque in southern Mexico.

The Mayan Riviera

Consisting of the coastal resorts of Cancun, Playa Del Carmen and the island of Cozumel, the Mayan Riviera offers magnificent stretches of soft white sandy beaches with clear blue waters. If you like water sports it’s also the ideal destination with many opportunities to try out water skiing and windsurfing. Swimming with dolphins is another possibility.

Mexico City

With a plethora of museums, art galleries and other attractions, Mexico City offers a fascinating alternative holiday destination. The centre of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and there are around 1,400 16th to 19th century colonial buildings in and around the area. Overlooking the city there are two massive volcanoes, each reaching 5,000 metres high.
