Savour the idyllic beaches of Cancun, such as Playa Tortugas and Playa Delfines. These welcoming beaches, with their turquoise waters and white sand, are perfect for a day under the sun, whether for swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying water sports.
Playa Delfines, located at the southern tip of the hotel zone, is about 20 minutes from the centre of Cancun (15 km) and is ideal for admiring the Caribbean Sea in all its glory.
Set off to discover the cenotes, these fascinating natural pools! Dos Ojos, about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Cancun (128 km), or those of the famous Ruta de los Cenotes near Puerto Morelos (40 km and 45 minutes) invite you to swim or dive in crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush jungles. These magical places combine nature, adventure, and relaxation.
Located just 13 km offshore and accessible by ferry in 20 minutes, this peaceful little island invites you to unwind. Discover its stunning beaches like Playa Norte, dive into the Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA), or explore its charming streets in a golf cart. In Isla Mujeres, serenity and natural beauty await you!
Just 160 km from Cancun (about a 2-hour drive), explore one of the most captivating Mayan sites. Ek Balam, less visited than Chichén Itzá, reveals a peaceful atmosphere and remarkable architecture. Climb the main pyramid for a sweeping view of the surrounding jungle and let yourself be carried away by the history of this fascinating ancient civilization.
To fully savour your journey to Cancun, the ideal period unfolds between October and February. This dry season invites a perfect climate with temperatures ranging from 25° to 30°C. These conditions are wonderful for exploring the Riviera Maya and unwinding on the stunning white sandy beaches.
A departure between mid-March and the end of May promises maximum sunshine whilst avoiding the chill of winter. From June to October, temperatures rise significantly.
From June to October, the wet season arrives: tropical showers and rising warmth define the rhythm. Frequent rainfall and cyclone risk between September and October may affect some activities. For those seeking tranquility and vibrant greenery, this season remains an appealing choice.
For a total immersion during your all-inclusive stay in Cancun, dive into the Dos Ojos cenote and explore the cave in a small group. Continue your discovery at the underwater museum, just 15 minutes from your Club Med Resort in Cancun. The 500 contemporary sculptures by artist Jason deCaires Taylor are a showcase of biodiversity and can be admired with a mask and snorkel. With precious moments to savour, return to dry land and let yourself unwind with your feet in the sand, enjoying Playa del Carmen.
South of Playa del Carmen, the island of Cozumel unfolds, treasured by divers for its coral formations. Awaken your curiosity for the local wildlife in Akumal and swim alongside the turtles. If you fancy kitesurfing, explore Paamul Beach. It's one of the many idyllic backdrops you'll discover during your all-inclusive stay in Cancun. Another iconic landscape of Mexico: the Mayan cities. Journey through the Mexican jungle towards Chichén Itzá, an ancient city that is one of the 7 new wonders of the world.
To savour the vibrancy of this millennia-old culture during your stay in Cancun, take a detour to the capital of Yucatán, Mérida. This city is renowned for its quality of life and cultural richness. On the way back, take a moment to stroll through the yellow city, Izamal.
Continue your excursion into the glorious cultural past of the region in the colonial city of Valladolid, identifiable by its colourful facades. Finish with Tulum and its Mayan ruins kissed by the sea. Your journey concludes with the tasting of pibil-style chicken, or a spicy soup (sopa de lima). The Yucatecos love it, and soon you will too!
A trip to Cancun is also an opportunity to dive into the fascinating history of the Mayans. Set off on an excursion to Chichén Itzá, Tulum, or Coba, and admire spectacular pyramids that are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Don't miss Valladolid, a colonial town filled with vibrant colours, perfect for a cultural and culinary break. Local cuisine takes centre stage with traditional dishes like cochinita pibil or papadzules.
Cancun is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway for two. For an unforgettable escape, head to Isla Mujeres, a little paradise just a few minutes by boat from the Club Med resort. Its fine sandy beaches and exceptional underwater landscapes make it a treasured spot for couples. The tip: admire the sunset hand in hand on Playa Norte, at the tip of the island, for a peaceful moment by the turquoise sea.
