Cancun is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and the most popular in Mexico. Featuring first-class hotel and business infrastructure, the destination offers excellent resorts with luxurious, state-of-the-art facilities, making it an ideal spot for meetings, incentive trips, or conventions. Whether you’re looking for a small meet-up or a large scale exhibition, there’s somewhere perfect for you in Cancun.
With an enviable location in the north of Quintana Roo state on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, Cancun is considered to be the gateway to the Mayan World. Its stunning natural attractions bring millions of tourists and businesspeople from across the country and the world looking for adventure, romance, or just a private place to get away for a while.
Most of the city’s hotels and resorts can be found on a long strip of land known as the Hotel Zone, on either side of the main avenue Kukulcan Boulevard. On the west side of the thoroughfare you’ll find Nichupte Lagoon, with its marinas, waterfront restaurants, shopping malls, and golf courses, and incredible sunsets for you to enjoy during your Cancun vacation. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and energy, Cancun’s hotel zone is also home to world-class nightclubs and bars, which you’ll find in its beating heart, the Party Zone.
Located close to the Party Zone, Cancun Convention Center boasts cutting edge facilities, state-of-the art technology, and more than 213,000 square meters of meeting space. Other large projects are well on the way in the Playa Mujeres area, which is just 20 minutes from the Hotel Zone and 50 from Cancun International Airport.
Cancun is a role model of tourism in Mexico; there are very few places in the world that can match the range of facilities, services, tours and activities on offer here, something that has made it the most famous tourist destination in Mexico.
With beautiful beaches and stunning sunsets, Cozumel is the largest island in the Mexican Caribbean and receives a large influx of tourism daily thanks to its status as the most important cruise port in Mexico. Diving and snorkeling are just some of the many activities you can do on the island, where you'll find turquoise waters home to the second largest reef barrier in the world, full of tunnels and rare black coral. For those who prefer land-based activities, you'll find horse riding, tennis, golf and hiking available during your time on the island.
Cozumel's only town, San Miguel, is located on the western side of the island and is home to most of the hotels and resorts. Many of them are tourist complexes offering an all-inclusive plan. Cozumel seduces visitors by offering the best of Mexico: friendly people, fantastic restaurants, prestigious jewelers and fine perfumes in the "Duty Free" area, as well as cultural activities and fascinating places like San Gervasio, which was one of the main sacred sites of the Mayan civilization.
Isla Mujeres is a small, peaceful island located just 7 miles (a 20-minute boat journey) north of the Cancun coast. Less than a mile wide and only 5 miles long, it’s the perfect tropical retreat, filled with beautiful palm trees. Its harbor is dotted with colorful fishing boats and its sandy streets are lined with a chaotic blend of shops, outdoor cafes and restaurants. Golf carts, motorcycles or bicycles are the common mode of transport for residents and visitors alike.
Isla Mujeres offers visitors a chance to experience both “rustic island life” and a more upscale experience; facilities here have been designed for tourists, however, the island still manages to keep its simplicity and charm. The attractions on Isla Mujeres are numerous and varied, ranging from Garrafon National Park to the Mayan temple. It is a paradise-like place for scuba diving enthusiasts, who will be able to enjoy exploring the offshore reefs of El Farito, Punta Norte and stunning Manchones, as well as the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks and the Underwater Museum of Art.
Holbox Island has an excellent location, right where beautiful turquoise colors of the Caribbean Sea merge with the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, providing an unparalleled beauty to its virgin white coralline beaches. The main draws here include a laid-back, relaxing setting complemented by stunning local flora and fauna. Holbox has been declared a protected area by the Mexican government and is inhabited by friendly people who move around the island using bikes, motorcycles and golf carts.
Admire thatched wooden huts as you walk through its unpaved streets, and enjoy delicious local cuisine based on exquisite fresh fish and seafood, with standout dishes including the best lobster you'll ever taste. Holbox is also one of the stops on the migratory route of the whale shark, the largest fish in the world, offering you the chance to swim alongside it between the months of May and September. You can also visit Isla Pasion (Passion Island) and Isla Pajaros (Bird Island), the latter inhabited by more than 100 species of exotic birds that include hundreds of flamingos. Another top attraction on the island is the Yalahau cenote, which forms part of the lagoon of the same name, featuring water so dark that it creates the illusion of a black hole, which is where the island gets its name (Holbox means black hole in Maya).
