Holidays to Cancun

Cancun holidays offer the perfect mix of both ancient history and contemporary resort facilities. Additionally, this destination boasts the kind of lush vegetation and white sandy beaches of the best Caribbean islands. With an average of 200 sunny days a year and temperatures of around 26C, Cancun is the ultimate tropical retreat.

Those who are seeking a vibrant nightlife with an important clubbing scene, will be delighted to know that Cancun is one of the party capitals of the world. You will find tantalizing cuisine in world class restaurants, plenty of beach entertainment such as snorkelling, scuba diving and water skiing, and even tempting nighttime sailing trips. Cancun is the perfect destination for the savvy solo traveller, couples in search of a romantic getaway or families who want a fun-filled trip.

Luxury Holidays to Cancun

Travellers expecting seclusion and quiet relaxation may need to look elsewhere than Cancun holidays: this place is a party city, an attempt to make a resort that crosses Vegas with Barbados. Incredible nightclubs and casinos with sun-loungers, swims with dolphins, jet skiing, reef snorkelling and much more besides. Though the nightlife is perhaps too noisy for a truly relaxed experience, Cancun’s Caribbean aspirations do save it from the superficiality of a Vegas-style resort. The fact that so many Mayan ruins are a coach-ride away contributes enormously to the greater depth of the Cancun holiday experience.

5 great reasons to holiday in Cancun

  • Whilst Mexico's Independence Day is celebrated on September 16, the bigger party might happen on Cinco de Mayo (5th of May), a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride.
  • If you like dancing Cancun is definitely the place with many nightclubs and venues to showcase your salsa, cumbia and mariachi skills.
  • Spend the summer solstice in Cancun with significant gatherings at Chichen Itza
  • The interactive aquarium is a family-friendly attraction that the kids will love!
  • Avoid the crowds and spend your day at the Playa Delfines, the ultimate escapist beach.

Things to do whilst on holiday

Though time on the beach is essential and time dancing in the clubs definitely well spent, your Holidays to Cancun aren’t complete without at least scratching the surface of the Mayan culture. Chichen Itza is about 2 ½ hours from Cancun, an awe-inspiring archaeological site often counted among the ‘new seven wonders of the world’. Another important site is Tulum, two hours south along the coastal road from Cancun. Many of our current portfolio of resorts are based in this stunning southern coastal area, the Riveria Maya (or ‘Mayan Riviera’).
Here, history and tropical harmony collide with ruins overlooking a pristine beach and national park. There are countless pyramids and ruins hidden all around this part of Mexico, giving holidays to Cancun a sense of mystery perhaps missing from the islands of the Caribbean. And once you’ve seen the sun go down in this beautiful, meaningful setting, it’s time to join the party. The hotel zone is Cancun’s answer to the Las Vegas strip, a small slither of land packed with high-rise hotel buildings, home to several extravagant shows and host to world class performers and DJs.

Interesting Facts about Cancun
