Luxury Hotels in Mexico

The country of Mexico is one of the best year-round travel destinations on the planet—famous for its white sand beaches, incredible snorkeling under turquoise waters, mouthwatering local fare, and a rich cultural history just waiting to be explored. Resting in the southern portion of North America, Mexico is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Gulf of Mexico on the east, and the Caribbean Sea on the eastern shore of the Yucatan Peninsula, along with Guatemala and Belize to the south. Just a quick flight from its northern neighbor of the United States, a trip to this country is easier than ever with direct flights to its top cities. Luxury hotels in Mexico offer all the best amenities, views, and creature comforts you’d want to whale away.

Spend your trip discovering ancient ruins, laying under the warm skies and soaking in rays from dazzling beaches, and eating your way through the incredible local cuisine around every corner. Explore the underwater world of Mexico’s vibrant corals near tropical beaches while enjoying an afternoon of diving in Cozumel or swimming in a cenote on the Caribbean coast of the Riviera Maya. Dive into the fascinating history and culture while museum hopping your way through Mexico City and plan your trip around the exciting events of Día de Muertos. Behold the incredible pyramids at Chichen Itza or the pyramids of Teotihuacan, and no matter what part of the country you land in, make sure you eat as many tacos as possible!

Anyone making a visit to Mexico can’t miss the unforgettable opportunity to catch the sea turtle hatchings during the turtle season, which stretches between May and November. The ideal time to witness the baby turtles hatching is from late August to early October, and if you plan for it, you can even help assist the baby turtles in getting to the sea safe from predators (most hotels can coordinate this for you). The best spots to take part in this stunning phenomenon are from Mexico luxury resorts in Puerto Vallarta, San Pancho, Manzanillo, Isla Mujeres, and Akumal.

It wouldn't be a trip to Mexico without seeing one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza. Resting near the Caribbean coast of Mexico, this ancient city is, without a doubt, one of the most famous sights in the country and is not something to skip. While exploring these mind-blowing ruins, don’t miss the Temple of Kukulkan, which is dedicated to a Mayan feathered serpent god. Resembling a castle, this building is often referred to as El Castillo.

Enjoy swimming or snorkeling? What about underground caves? When you visit Mexico’s Caribbean coast, you’ll have the opportunity to do just that from the warm waters of a cenote. These natural limestone sinkholes are a result of a cave ceiling collapse. The Yucatan peninsula is home to thousands of these natural wonders offering a reprieve from the sweltering heat of the day. Head to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum to experience cenotes in person during an easily accessible day trip just outside the best Mexico hotels.
