Cancun Holidays

The clear boundless sea of the Gulf of Mexico rivals the glittering ocean of any island nation. And if pristine white beaches are your thing, holidays in Cancun offer fourteen miles of prime Mexican sunbathing.

Incredible nightclubs and casinos are perfect for those who want to enjoy an action packed Mexican adventure. However there is still plenty to do if you are in search of a more relaxed escape. Riviera Maya is the ideal place to sit back and take in the sun's rays. The area is home to Mayan ruins that make for fascinating day trips as well as plenty of golf courses for you to try your swing on.

Playa del Carmen meanwhile is similarly packed with things to do. You can take excursions to go and see whale sharks in their natural habitat, see the impressive Chichen Itza, one of the wonders of the modern world, or even take some buggies for a spin through the jungle. Whether your an avid party goer or a relaxed beach connoisseur, Cancun has something for everyone.

Luxury Holidays to Cancun

Though lounging on the beach is essential and dancing in the clubs is definitely time well spent, your luxury holidays to Cancun aren’t complete without at least scratching the surface of the Mayan culture. Chichen Itza is about 2 ½ hours from Cancun, an awe-inspiring archaeological site often counted among the ‘new seven wonders of the world’. Another important site is Tulum, two hours south along the coastal road from Cancun. Many of our current portfolio of resorts are based in this stunning southern coastal area, the Riveria Maya (or ‘Mayan Riviera’).

Here, history and tropical harmony collide with ruins overlooking a pristine beach and national park. There are countless pyramids and ruins hidden all around this part of Mexico, giving holidays to Cancun a sense of mystery that separates it from the islands of the Caribbean. And once you’ve seen the sun go down in this beautiful, meaningful setting, it’s time to join the party. The hotel zone is Cancun’s answer to the Las Vegas strip, a small slither of land packed with hi-rise hotel buildings, home to several extravagant shows and host to world class performers and DJs.

Cancun Weather

If you are looking for sunny days and beach time, Cancun is the place to go. With warm temperatures all year round - an average of 27 °C - there is not a bad time for a Cancun holiday. However, if you want to avoid excessive heat, the perfect time for you to visit Cancun falls between December and April.
