We know this season can be crazy, and while Cancun and Playa del Carmen are popular destinations this time of the year, there’s so much more to them than the party scene and crowds! Let’s explore the quiet and peaceful side of the Mexican Caribbean and escape the chaos.
The best activities beyond the chaos.
The hidden beaches of Tulum.
Although Tulum is famous for its beautiful beaches, the most popular ones can get very crowded and loud. For a quieter, more secluded experience, head to Tulum’s lesser-known beaches, like Playa Paraiso (early morning) or Punta Piedra.
Discovering the magic of Akumal.
This town is famous for its sea turtle sightings, where you can swim with these gentle creatures in their natural habitat. In addition, Akumal has an impressive coral reef that offers exceptional snorkeling opportunities.
The enchanting cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula.
These are impressive natural swimming holes created by the collapse of limestone caves. They not only offer a beautiful experience overall but also have immense cultural significance to the Maya people. The most popular cenotes are Ik Kil, Dos Ojos and Gran Cenote.
🐝 If you’re looking for a relaxing day trip, Cenote Yax-kin is a good option. Because of its hidden location and serene surroundings, it is the ideal place for those looking for a quiet and secluded experience. What are you waiting for? Let us arrange your trip to Cenote Yax-kin and discover all the wonders that this natural site has to offer.
The fascinating Mayan Ruins.
For a unique and historical travel experience, visit the Mayan Ruins of Cobá. Unlike more popular tourist destinations, Cobá remains relatively undiscovered, giving visitors the opportunity to explore ancient ruins with fewer crowds. Admire the intricate architecture and rent a bike to explore the whole area with a touch of adventure!
Take in the local culture in Valladolid.
A charming colonial city in the heart of the Yucatán peninsula, Valladolid has colorful streets, beautiful architecture, and a rich cultural heritage. The city is home to several museums and art galleries that provide insight into the history and culture of the region. Don’t forget to taste the local cuisine, such as cochinita pibil, a traditional Yucatecan dish.
🐝 If you’re looking for something different nearby, visit the ruins of Ek Balam.They haven’t been fully explored yet, or restored, so you’ll have a feeling of mystery and adventure when wandering through the site! Contact us and discover the secrets of Ek Balam for yourself!
Explore the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.
A protected natural area south of Tulum, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve has a diverse ecosystem, including mangroves, wetlands, and coral reefs. You can book a boat tour through the region and explore the different habitats and wildlife. Escape the chaos and keep your eyes open for crocodiles, manatees and sea turtles!
The best accommodation for this season.
For a peaceful getaway in the Mexican Caribbean, there are many accommodations that offer a serene environment away from the hustle and bustle. We believe an All-Inclusive Vacation Rental (AIVR) is the way to go. You’d have the flexibility and comfort of your own place, with all the services you need already included (transportation, chef, tours etc.).
An AIVR offers you a fully equipped kitchen, living room and bedrooms to relax with family and friends. No noise or disturbance from other guests like in hotels, and the opportunity to enjoy and take advantage of the city like a local!
🐝 Don’t settle for a crowded and loud hotel this season, choose an All-Inclusive Vacation Rental and tailor your holiday to your own needs and desires.
