The Riviera Maya boasts the world's second largest coral reef, which is easily reached from Cozumel, a short trip from the Fairmont Mayakoba. The warm, gentle Caribbean currents ensure the area is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling.

 

Exploration of the mystical underwater cenotes (luminous caverns that were once a source of fresh water for the Mayans who inhabited the area), a visit to the Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba or Chichen Itzá (one of the new Seven Wonders of The World), or an excursion to Sian Ka’an (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) will add a truly unique element to your stay.

 

Nearby, Playa del Carmen provides an exuberant nightlife, in addition to sophisticated boutiques and stores offering traditional Mexican handicrafts.
