Mexico Holidays

Unwind on picture-perfect beaches, sink your toes into soft white sands, savour delicious and authentic food, or let your hair down at scintillating parties – holidays to Mexico make for ideal sunshine breaks. Choose from a variety of wonderful resorts including Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel and stunning all inclusive, 3, 4 and 5 star resorts that offer amazing value for money. On Mexico holidays, you'll discover gorgeous Caribbean beaches where you can soak up the balmy sunshine and go snorkelling in the crystal-clear water, or explore the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum, Coba and Chitchen Itza – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – located near the vibrant resorts of Playa Del Carmen and Playacar. As evening descends, head to Cancun in the north of the Yucatan peninsula – the party hotspot. You'll enjoy the nightlife along Cancun’s buzzing promenade, which is lined with lively bars, restaurants and shopping outlets. And don’t forget the tequila!

Hit Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen has it all, from stretches of sugar-white sands to a vibrant centre that offers great restaurants and shopping. Tulum, surrounded by the sparkling blue waters of the Caribbean, is a quieter alternative. There’s also Cozumel that’s popular for watersports, the endless beaches of Cancun, chic Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas that has several gorgeous beaches to choose from, and lots more! Puerto Vallarta is also home to a secret beach, hidden within a cave.

Go diving in Cozumel

Boasting 10,000km of coastline, Mexico offers lots to do for watersports enthusiasts - choose from sailing, surfing, scuba diving or white-water rafting. Discover natural sinkholes (or cenotes) in Tulum, dive among reefs in Cozumel or go surfing on Sayulita beach. You'll find great snorkelling sites dotted around the resort including 40 Cannons and a submerged ship in Banco Chinchorro, where divers can swim with eels, turtles and giant sponges. Take a 15-minute ferry ride from Gran Puerto in the Hotel Zone to the picturesque island of Isla Mujeres, where you can snorkel over sculptures of the underwater museum or swim with dolphins at the Garrafon Natural Reef Park.

Guadalajara's Tequila Express

Feast your eyes on an unforgettable sunset at Monte Alban, a sacred site atop a hill that overlooks a valley filled with wild flowers. Enjoy a romantic cruise through the canals of Xochimilco on a trajinera (Spanish for gondola), serenaded by Mariachi singers. Hop aboard Guadalajara’s Tequila Express that makes its way through blue agave fields, while treating you to shots of tequila (why, of course!). The iconic Mayan archaeological sites of Chichen Itza and Tulum also make for a great excursion. If you’re feeling adventurous, hike up the peaks of Popocatépetl or the more challenging Iztaccíhuatl, to the east of Mexico City.

Party and shop in Mexico

Listen to traditional Mariachi bands, enjoy the buzzing nightlife of Playa del Carmen or sit back and sip tequila at the lively bars in Guanajuato. If you’re looking for a party that goes on all night, the best ones can be found on Cancun’s luxurious beaches. Cancun also hosts several markets as well as designer shops that you can browse in the hotel Zone – be sure to do some silver shopping and browse the beautiful jewellery in Taxco.
