Cancun holidays draw 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.

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?
