Riviera Maya - The Beach And Beyond

Combining business with pleasure is a breeze in Riviera Maya.

- Bob Curley

Mezclar negocios con placer — mixing business with pleasure — is easy to do in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. In fact, hospitality is often the point of corporate trips to the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Here business travelers frequently come to take part in meetings at the region’s many conference resorts or call on companies in real estate development and construction firms involved in developing resorts along the 80-mile coastline between Cancún and the Riviera Maya.

In a destination with seemingly endless activities and nearly as many luxury resorts to choose from, the bigger accomplishment might be to work in some productivity along with the fun, not the other way around. The region’s name offers two clues to the Riviera Maya’s tremendous popularity: beautiful beaches on the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea and the ancient ruins of Maya cities like Tulum and Chichén Itzá, the latter dating back to the first century.

Riviera Maya also wows visitors with unique natural wonders, from water-filled cenotes — natural limestone pools used by the ancient Mayas — to the vast Sian Ka’an Biosphere. This nearly 1 millionacre nature preserve and World Heritage site features undeveloped beaches, mangrove-fringed lagoons and jungles prowled by jaguars and tapirs.
