Puerto Morelos holidays

Holidays to Puerto Morelos let you escape the crowds as you explore its peaceful, small village, and relax by the calm, Caribbean waters.

Fishing village

This friendly and picturesque Mexican fishing village sits within the pin-drop-peaceful northern part of the Riviera Maya, a 30-minute drive from Cancun. The town has a laidback atmosphere, swapping the glitz and glamour of southern Mexico for natural beauty – so you’re guaranteed a relaxing stay. Just so you know, beaches along this stretch of coastline can have a build-up of seaweed called sargassum. It’s a natural phenomenon influenced by ocean currents and seasonal weather patterns in the Caribbean, so it can be hard to predict when it’ll arrive. When there’s a lot of sargassum, hotel teams work continuously to keep the beaches as clean as possible.

Jewel of the Caribbean

True to its nickname, Puerto Morelos is the ‘jewel of the Caribbean’. You’ll find it halfway between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, next to a huge marine national park, and beautiful, white-sand beaches that stretch out for miles. The calm, crystal-blue waters make it a diver’s paradise. And with lots of local restaurants, it’s a haven for foodies, too.

Snorkelling territory

Stays in Puerto Morelos put you on the doorstep of a marine national park. Within this huge protected area lies the second largest barrier reef in the world – and it’s just a few hundred metres from the shore. Jump in feet first as you explore the underwater life in the reefs, and swim with tropical fish, sea turtles, and rays, to name a few.
