The Riviera Maya , a 120 km tourist corridor in the Mexican Caribbean, has established itself as one of the world's most exclusive destinations. This paradise includes iconic locations like Playa del Carmen, Akumal, and Tulum , combining adventure, nature, ancient culture, and luxury.


This is where tourism becomes a way of life.


A paradise in the Caribbean: Discovering the Riviera Maya.


The beauty of its beaches, with white sand and turquoise waters, combined with an average climate of 26°C (80°F) year-round, boosts tourism and makes the region a stable economic engine.


More than a vacation destination, the Riviera Maya has transformed into a lifestyle ecosystem. Here, you can enjoy everything from ecotourism and adventure to signature cuisine and romance, making it a place to live, invest, and enjoy .

Beaches are the essence of the destination. Tulum's world-renowned Playa Paraíso offers white sand and Mayan ruins as a backdrop.

Mayan History: Sacred Ruins.

The region is an archaeological treasure . Tulum, with its walled city facing the sea, is unique in the Mexican Caribbean.


Cobá, hidden in the jungle, houses the tallest pyramid in Yucatán. And although further away, Chichén Itzá , a World Heritage Site and Wonder of the World, is a must-see.
