Playa del Carmen is a young, but fast-growing and increasingly popular resort on the Mayan Riviera. The coast of the town has been compared to a giant swimming pool thanks to its smooth set of depth and crystal-clear water. The beaches of Playa del Carmen are proud of bars, gyms, restaurants, attractions and gourmet beachfront hotels. Reef diving, archaeological excursions, golf, surfing and tours to the sacred island of Cozumel add variety to your beach holiday.
