This holiday is based entirely along Mexico’s Caribbean coast, allowing time to fully settle into one place while exploring the surrounding region. Days move easily between beach and water, with a small number of well-placed experiences — from snorkelling on the reef to Mayan sites and cenotes inland.
7 nights in the Riviera Maya, combining coastal living with Mayan heritage and natural landscapes. Includes international flights, private transfers, B&B accommodation and a selection of privately guided and in-resort experiences.
The Riviera Maya is defined by its contrast, but the distance between them is short. The coastline is open and expansive — white sand, shallow water and long, uninterrupted horizons. Just inland, the landscape shifts quickly to dense jungle, limestone formations and cenotes hidden beneath the surface.
This holiday keeps both within easy reach. Most of the time is spent by the coast, where the pace is slow and unstructured. Short, well-timed excursions inland introduce a different side of the region — Mayan history, freshwater pools and a landscape that feels more enclosed and atmospheric.

Arrive into Cancún and transfer south along the coast. The shift into the Riviera Maya is immediate — palms, white sand and the Caribbean stretching out beyond.
The first days are left deliberately open. Settle into the rhythm of the coast, moving between beach, pool and shaded terraces, with time to adjust after travel.

A single-base stay works particularly well for families or those looking to reset on the Riviera Maya. Distances are short, but the contrast between coast and interior is strong, allowing for variety without constant movement. The key is restraint. Leaving space in the early part of the week allows the setting to settle, with experiences introduced gradually rather than all at once.
