Just a stone’s throw away from Playa Del Carmen, tucked away in an exclusive corner along the Mayan Riviera, lies Playacar, one of the more recent developments on the Yucatan peninsular. Enjoying the same picture-postcard white powdery sand beaches as Cancun and, of course, the superb marine life which makes this unspoiled stretch of Caribbean coastline a dream destination for snorkellers and divers, Playacar offers the ultimate in comfort and indulgence for those seeking peace and relaxation. With a blend of top-notch resorts and gated residential villa developments, Playacar is a boutique resort experience with all the advantages of a major tourist destination within easy access. Cancun is an hour away and Playa Del Carmen right next door. Golfers will be in heaven with a championship 18 hole course and the lush jungle, ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and the famous Xcaret eco-park are all easily reached so you can swim with dolphins, snorkel with tropical fish or just relax and listen to the sound of the waves...

Whether it’s a burger and fries or something more upmarket, you’ll find plenty of choice within the hotel zone. For a true Mexican experience, take an evening stroll around the town’s Zocalo (main square) to soak up the local atmosphere and enjoy some of Quintana Roo’s regional specialities like ‘Tik-n-chik’ a tasty sweet and peppery fish dish prepared in annatto paste.

Getting aroundGetting around

You can easily wander around Playacar by foot. Take a leisurely wander along the beach to nearby Playa Del Carmen or a 5 minute cab ride. Once you reach Playa Del Carmen you can hop on one of the many inexpensive buses which will ferry you to Cancun and beyond.
