It’s best known for sombreros, mariachi bands and, of course, its tropical climate – but there’s so much more to Mexico. You can lounge on stunning beaches, explore lush jungle or immerse yourself in the country’s ancient Mayan culture. Whether you’re looking to jet off on a romantic getaway or craving family fun, look no further.
1 STAY AT A LUXE RESORT
Most holidaymakers stay in the high-rise hotels edging the 15-mile sandy strip known as the Zona Hotelera. While it’s a vibrant area, there are plenty of family-friendly options, too. Book into the Beach Palace Resort ( beach.palaceresorts.com/en), where parents can keep tabs on their kids via walkie-talkies, or try the Omni Hotel and Villas (omnihotels.com/hotels/cancun). For couples, the adults-only resort Secrets The Vine (amrcollection.com) is situated halfway along the strip. There are four swimming pools, nightly entertainment, unlimited cocktails and eight places to eat. What more could you ask for?
