LOCATION: PARADISE
The word paradise usually conjures up images of a perfect warm climate, luxuriant flora with edible fruits hanging from trees and a peaceful, safe and pristine environment where everyone is happy. For anyone who has lived in or traveled to the Mayan Riviera, most would agree that paradise is an accurate description. It is probably why the Mexican Riviera is the fastest growing tourist destination anywhere in the world.
The Mayan Riviera is sometimes referred to as the Mexican Paradise. If the idea of locating your home in paradise sounds enticing read on…
PLAYA DEL CARMEN
Playa del Carmen, or commonly referred to as Playa, is the largest city along the Mayan Riviera with an estimated 200,000 people. Playa was once a sleepy fishing village and now its rapid growth has earned it the reputation of being the fastest growing city in Latin America.
Unlike the resort city of Cancun, where towering all-inclusive hotels prevail along a 27-kilometer stretch of land, Playa has evolved its own unique identity. Construction is limited to 4 stories in height, there are smaller hotels offering more personalized service and a vibrant, international community offers an eclectic mix of restaurants and shopping to fit anyone's budget.
Marbella is located in a suburb named Xcalacoco (twin coconut trees) just a 5 kilometer (3 mile) drive north from central Playa. As the population of Playa grows, development is moving away from its center where taxi and bus service provide easy access.
MAYAN RIVIERA
The Mayan Riviera coast stretches approximately 140 kilometers (89 miles) along the Caribbean Sea. Situated in the State of Quintana Roo, it extends from the coastal town of Puerto Morelos (which is 36 kilometers/ 22.5 miles south of Cancun), south to the village of Felipe Carrillo Puerto.
Small, independent communities, offer numerous activities and experiences. Along the coast you will find places of interest such as Playa Paraiso, Punta Maroma, Playa del Secreto, Punta Bete, Playa del Carmen, Xcaret, Paa Muul, Puerto Adventuras, Xpu Ha, Kantenah, Tankah, Akumal, Xel Ha, Tulum, Boca Paila, Punta Allen, and the Sian Ka'an Biosphere, to mention but a few.
The climate of the area is close to perfect with 300 days of sunshine and a temperature that averages 23 C/73 F year round. There are not the four distinct seasons of winter, spring, summer and fall that northerners are accustomed to. Instead, the seasons are referred to as the dry season (late November through early June) and the rainy season (June through to November).
The dry season is referred to as the 'high season', as it offers hot temperatures at a time where much of the world is experiencing snow and cold. During the chilliest nights of winter (December and January), air conditioners are not necessary and a blanket is sometimes required at night.
The rainy season, which is also the referred to as the 'low season', is not at all a bad time to travel or live in the Mayan Riviera. The rains are not constant, but rather they are typically heavy showers followed by bright sunshine.
In a nearly perfect climate, the environment offers some of the best beaches in the world with coral white sand beside a clear, aquamarine Caribbean Sea. Offshore and easily accessible from the shoreline, is the second largest barrier reef system in the world, vivid with exotic fish and vegetation. The beaches are lined with palm trees and coastal mangrove jungles. Further inland, lush jungle vegetation covers much of the area's interior. Orchids, bromeliads, palms, exotic fruit trees and a vast variety of plant life grow at an astonishing rate. The jungle teems with tropical birds and animals of all kinds.
Sports activities and eco type adventures are varied and numerous. The ocean provides the opportunity to swim, snorkel, scuba dive, and sail, windsurf, fish, observe the marine life, and of course relax afterwards. Inland, there is swimming and diving in the cenotes (part of the underground fresh water river system), bird watching, hiking, biking, horseback riding and golfing. For those who may want to experience eco type adventures, there are many groups who offer a selection of exciting tours to choose from.
The Mayan culture is evident throughout the area. Maya ruins are abundant in the region and as they continue to be discovered and restored, the stunning engineering continues to attract visitors worldwide with almost a mythical power. Today, many of the Mayans still live in their inland villages.
