The fancy Hotel Zone offers lively party scenes with chic cafés, bars and seafood restaurants and the all-inclusive restaurants are some of the best in the world.

If your to-do list includes swimming in turquoise waters, spotting sea turtles, or partying till the wee hours, Cancun holidays are a fab option all year round.

Cancun beaches and waterparks

If you're looking for miles of pristine, white sandy beaches, Cancun is the holiday spot for you. A sun-soaked heaven for those who love sunbathing, watersports and beach parties. Add a dash of fun to your family days out and explore the delights of Wet 'n' Wild, one of the best waterparks in Mexico with exhilarating slides, chutes and flumes to keep the kids (yep, the big ones too) entertained all afternoon. From family-sized hot-air balloon rides to bumper boats, Cancun holidays are a great way to spend with your family and friends.

Explore Mayan ruins

Take a trip to the iconic El Castillo pyramid in Chichen Itza – the most famous Mayan ruin in Mexico, and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Right in the heart of the Hotel Zone you will also find El Rey featuring 47 ancient structures and hundreds of iguanas. Explore Tulum – a small but breathtaking town set on a clifftop and only two hours south of Cancun. Tulum boasts one of the world’s most unique beaches set at the foot of the cliff.

Time to party in Cancun

The Hotel Zone is brimming with fancy bars, restaurants and cafés; the famous Coco Bongo and Dady’O nightclubs have been a hit with holidaymakers for years and continue to be popular with folks looking for a fun time. The Hotel Zone is easily accessible and well set up for tourists, of course. If you’re after authentic Mexican entertainment, venture down to central Cancun in the evening and explore the live music venues playing everything from jazz to salsa.

Magnificent Mujeres

The idyllic island of Isla Mujeres is just a few minutes’ ferry ride from the Hotel Zone, and definitely worth a visit. Here you’ll find a few tourist shops and the crushed-coral beaches. The blue waters of Isla Mujeres are enticing enough to keep everyone entertained – snorkel, scuba dive, or simply put on your sunglasses and settle in with some refreshing cocktails. And when the sun goes down, there are plenty of great dining and nightlife options.
