May in Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is embodied by the calm of its beaches, the sweet sea breeze that awakens you in the morning, and the sounds of the waves lapping on the ivory-white sand.

But that’s not all!

Playa del Carmen is a treasure located at the center of the Mayan Riviera. Some of the most beautiful and exciting Mexico excursions depart from here, and Playa del Carmen's wide range of restaurants and nightlife is the envy of other tourist destinations.

La Tortuga Hotel and Spa is the crowning glory of the heart of the Riviera Maya.

Playa del Carmen is on the east coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo. This state contains many sandbars and mangrove swamps, and is edged with coral reefs. The island of Cozumel lies just off shore.

The Riviera Maya is the scenery for your perfect Mexican vacation, where romantic seclusion and tranquillity, as well as extreme sports and parties, are all in the realm of possibility. Welcome to the ultimate Caribbean experience.

The Mayan Riviera's main allure is its diversity.

You can marvel at the astonishing Mayan culture through the many indigenous communities and archaeological treasures of the Mayan world.

Rain forests, jungle, flora and fauna, ancient Mayan cities, pristine beaches, turquoise waters, the fantasy and warmth of the tropics and the mystery of a legendary Mexican culture still living in its people today are only a few of the characteristics that make the Mayan Riviera a favorite destination the world over.
