Yucatán, Mexico
This peninsula in sun-soaked southern Mexico is in the spotlight as only last year a new ancient Mayan ruin – Ocomtún – was uncovered by archaeologists. It’s not possible for travellers to visit it yet, but in the meantime the lush area around package-holiday favourite Cancún has plenty to keep you busy. Bohemian coastal resort Tulum has beach clubs and chic restaurants, while inland ‘magic towns’ painted in rainbow colours provide beautiful cultural immersion. Cenotes – sinkholes – let you swim in clear blue waters, while world-famous Chichén Itzá provides your dose of Mayan ruins.
STAY At all-inclusive resort Dreams Riviera Cancun (hyatt inclusivecollection.com; doubles from £500). Explore the wonders of the peninsula while still enjoying bottomless drinks and buffets, including Mexican specialities.
