Playa del Carmen offers pristine beaches and a Bohemian atmosphere

Playa del Carmen has gone from a tiny fishing village to one of the world’s busiest tourism destinations. But this transition has by no means been a smooth one.

Along the Mayan Riviera lies the sophisticated resort town of Playa del Carmen, located on the Yucatan Peninsula near Caribbean waters. With its stunning beaches, world-class golf courses and abundance of shopping and entertainment on Fifth Avenue, it’s no wonder Playa del Carmen has earned a reputation as one of the Caribbean’s hippest resort destinations.

Here, modern conveniences combine with small-town charm. Stroll the elegant streets of Playa, explore the verdant Yucatecan jungle, and savor the local cuisine with its unique blend of indigenous and European flavors.
