Things To Do
Escape to Isla Mujeres
A quick 20 minute ferry ride from Cancun will take you to this 4-mile island, which is home to ancient temples, steep cliffs, and spectacular views. You'll also find Garrafon Reef Park on Isla Mujeres, which offers swimming, zip lines, and snorkeling.
Visit Xcaret Park
Xcaret is a nature theme park with more than 50 attractions. Expect to spend an entire day here exploring all of the activities such as the beach, lagoon, underground rivers, and a coral reef aquarium.
Day trip to Tulum
This former port city is home to some of the best beaches in Mexico, as well as beach clubs and yoga retreats. But the highlight is the ancient walled city perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean ocean. Tulum was a major trading and religious center between the 11th and 16th centuries, and is one of the coolest Mayan archaeological sites in Mexico. Make sure to bring your swimsuit and visit the hidden beach!
Swim in a cenote
Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is famous for its amazing cenotes, natural sinkholes filled with water formed in limestone caves. The entire Riviera Maya is covered with thousands of cenotes, and many of them you can swim in.
Chichen Itza Maya Ruins
The Maya city of Chichen Itza is a UNESCO world heritage site, famous for its amazing ancient pyramids. The oldest building in Chichen Itza dates from the 5th century. The most impressive structure of the city is the 98-foot tall pyramid Temple Of Kukulkan (aka “El Castillo”). The nine terraces around it symbolize the belief in heaven with nine levels. Chichen Itza is well preserved so you can get a glimpse of how the ancient Maya people lived. It’s located about 2.5 hours away from Cancun by car, or 3 hours by bus, and is the Yucatan’s most popular Mayan site.
Hotel Zone
Cancun is divided into two areas. Downtown, also known as Ciudad Cancun — and Cancun Island, also known as The Hotel Zone or “Zona Hotelera”. The Hotel Zone is the primary tourist area, synonymous with resorts, catamarans, wild nightlife and beaches. It’s a 15-mile strip of sand shaped like the number seven. This is where most people stay. As the name implies, there are tons of hotels as well as most of the nightlife and beaches. Restaurants and bars line the only road, Kulkukan Boulevard, which runs from one side of the Hotel Zone to the other.
Get Pampered at the Spa
Treatments that stand out in Miiluma Spa are: honey exfoliation, milly massage, 4-hand massage, hot stones massage, chocolate wrapping, aloe wrap, facial deluxe homme, facial deep cleaning, and collagen facial cleaning.
