Playa del Carmen

 

Playa del Carmen, the capital of the Mayan Riviera, is considered to be one of the country’s premier travel destinations due its clear Caribbean Sea, architectural style, and wide variety of attractions. Travelers around the world experience the friendly laid back atmosphere that completes the charm of this colorful paradise. Gaining international acclaim for its high cosmopolitan feel, perfect white sand beaches, chic hotels, effervescent nightlife and culinary arts; it’s easy to see why it attracts people from around the globe.

The main avenue "Quinta Avenida" or "5th Avenue”, is the soul of Playa. A mere block from the ocean, this pedestrian walkway spans the length of the town. Anything you need can be found on this busy street. Hotels, shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars provide endless fun and an array of possibilities. The architecture, music, food and nightlife reflect a fusion of traditional flair and innovation.

The once sleepy fishing village of Playa del Carmen, just 30 minutes south of Cancún, became a Bohemian mecca during the free-wheeling '70s. And while remnants of that lifestyle remain, the times they are a-changing - and pronto. Playa is now the fastest-growing town in Mexico packed with an international mix of fun loving travelers. Today’s crowds saunter through town in four-inch heels, wearing the latest Prada gear and speaking several languages. They come, of course, for the gorgeous beaches and the lively south-of-the-border spirit, but these days those timeless verities of the Mexican Caribbean are augmented by sophistication rivaling that of metropolitan capitals worldwide.

Like Cancun and Cozumel, Playa del Carmen offers an amazing selection of all-inclusive resorts. Playa del Carmen is a modern city, yet boasts a “South American” feel that separates it from some of its neighboring resort areas. It’s the perfect location to begin your coastal adventure
