Mayan Ruins. Cenote Diving.
Call it “Playa” like the locals do, which means ‘beach’. This coastal town in the Riviera Maya region is not only known for its cuisine, culture and pristine beaches, but it is also home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites–Chichen Itza and Reserva de la Biósfera Sian Ka'an. Spend your days on the Mayan Riviera soaking up the sun, then take a walk around Mexico’s own Fifth Avenue, la Quinta Avenida. This road will take you through fashion boutiques, shops, gourmet restaurants and the never-sleeping spirit of the Playa people. Rest up at an ecological theme park called Xcaret, where you can kayak or enjoy a seven-course dinner and a show extravaganza. Visit caves and underground rivers, but make sure you make time for lying in the sand.
