Bustling Cancun is full of things to see and do. It’s fun and tourist-friendly yet full of unexpected gems. Many holidaymakers love to simply chill in their all-inclusive resort – you can have an amazing holiday here without even leaving your hotel! Beyond that, discover the Hotel Zone with its nightlife, restaurants, bars and entertainment. Downtown Cancun has more of the local culture with shopping and green spaces. For amazing views, head to the top of Cancun Scenic Tower for a panorama of the whole area. If you’re feeling adventurous, how about some snorkelling or zip-lining? Cancun also has great shopping – explore the flea-market style Mercado 28, major mall La Isla Shopping Centre or aptly-named Luxury Avenue. And how about a tranquil tour across the waters in a catamaran or sailing boat?

Holidays to Cancun are the perfect opportunity to indulge. The Hotel Zone plays host to a huge range of restaurants serving all kinds of international cuisine to satisfy your taste buds. If you opt for an all-inclusive resort as many Cancun holidaymakers do, your resort is sure to have a range of culinary options right on site. So you can keep full all trip long without even leaving your hotel – also a great way to budget. But if you want to go outside your hotel there’s plenty of restaurants and bars to discover. Try some authentic Mexican cuisine from traditional recipes to innovative seafood fusion. Treat yourself to a delicious meal in a seaside cabana overlooking the sparkling seas – bliss!

Cancun draws many holidaymakers just for its beaches alone. The seas are blue and sands are white and gorgeous to behold. Some all-inclusive Cancun resorts boast their very own private beaches but not all – if not, there are plenty of beaches to discover where you simply lay back and soak up some rays. Try Playa Delfines, popular with locals and best for lounging around rather than swimming. Discover the tranquil beach in the village of Puerto Morelos or swimming in Playa Chac Mool. Playa Tortugas is popular too and it’s where you catch the boat to idyllic Isla Mujeres. Playa del Carmen and Punta Bete Beach are great choices too.  Cancun truly is a beach-bum’s paradise.

Holidays to Cancun are all about lazy days by the seaside and enjoying that all-inclusive bliss but make sure to venture beyond the resort to discover the surrounding area’s captivating history and stunning natural beauty. Cancun may be a modern resort destination, but you’re also surrounded by ancient Mayan relics. The most well-known is Chichen Itza, a popular day trip for anyone’s Canun holidays. The highlight is the El Castillo pyramid, along with the Observatory and Temple of the Warriors. The ancient walled city of Tulum is a highlight in the area, and history buffs will love the ruined city of Coba a little further away from the hotel zone. How about a day trip to the idyllic island of Isla Mujeres off the coast, beloved for its Caribbean beauty and snorkelling?
