Mexico holidays

Mexico holidays match up tropical beaches and ancient Mayan ruins – like the UNESCO-listed Chichén Itzá – with year-round sun, world-class All Inclusive hotels and authentic Mexican hospitality.

Winter sun and spring break

Mexico is the connecting puzzle piece between the USA and Central America – it borders four different US states in the north, and snakes all the way down to Belize and Guatemala in the south. It’s a popular holiday spot for winter sun-seekers in December and January, and party animals flock here for the spring break peak in March, which brings foam parties and bar crawls into the agenda. But with the sun beaming down throughout the year, there’s never a bad time to visit.

Cancun to Riviera Maya

The star of the show in eastern Mexico is the Caribbean Sea coastline. Cancun's top dog out here. It’s home to a 22-kilometre belt of white sand, shopping malls, and an after-dark scene to rival Rio. Just so you know, the beaches on the Caribbean coast sometimes experience increased levels of seaweed – called sargassum. It’s influenced by the weather and ocean currents. If your hotel’s affected, the staff will do everything they can to clear it. Elsewhere, Playa del Carmen offers everything Cancun does, but in smaller portions. Then, you’ve got Riviera Maya’s tropical jungles, Tulum’s seaside ruins, the laidback Isla Mujeres and a crop of subterranean Mayan cenotes.

Los Cabos to Puerto Vallarta

Mexico’s west coast sidles up to the Pacific Ocean, which means All Inclusive resorts that range from laidback to luxury all within splashing distance of the shore. Puerto Vallarta’s calm beaches are doppelgangers for those on the Caribbean side of the country, and come with fewer crowds. And if you put the sand to one side, adrenaline-pumping pursuits like abseiling and zip-lining circuits crop up all around the Sierra Madre Mountains. Further north, Los Cabos is all about glitz, glam and party vibes on the Baja California Peninsula. With flashy hotels, desert scenery and whale-watching trips, it’s got loads going for it.

All Inclusive excellence for families and adults

From family hotels with waterparks and laser tag, to adults-only luxury escapes, there’s an All Inclusive Mexico holiday to suit every traveller. You’ll find the likes of RIU and Hard Rock hotels in Cancun and Riviera Maya, including spots within easy reach of the best nightlife spots and sprawling beaches. All your meals, snacks and drinks are taken care of when you go All Inclusive. And now, you won’t even need to set aside any money for departure tax if you’re coming here, as it's included within the cost of your holiday.
