5. Mayakoba Beach
If you have yet to experience Mexico’s world of Mayakoba, add that to your bucket list immediately. This collection of four luxury resorts all live in the same master planned community on one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico.
Mayakoba Beach shares the space with Rosewood Mayakoba, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Andaz Mayakoba, and Fairmont Mayakoba. The long, impossibly white beach is absolutely stunning when contrasted against the electric blue colors of the Caribbean Sea.
You’ll find high-end guests here lounging on daybeds, scooting across the water on Jet Skis, snorkeling, or dining at one of the many impeccable beachfront restaurants that are part of any of the four resorts.
While all beaches in Mexico are technically public, it would be very difficult to get to this beach without being a guest at one of the four resorts. So if perfection on a beach is what drives your vacation style, you may want to consider booking a stay at Mayakoba.
6. Playa Maroma
Playa Maroma is yet another idyllic, picture-perfect beach near Playa del Carmen. Today the beach is dominated by two luxury hotels – Secrets Maroma Beach and El Dorado Maroma – so you may find it easier to access this beach if you’re a guest. Still, all beaches in Mexico are open to the public, so this beach is accessible for all.
What you’ll find is a bay of soft, fine white sand and gorgeous shades of blue water. El Dorado has several overwater bungalows, so if you use your imagination, you may forget you’re in Mexico and think you’ve drifted off to Bora Bora.
A wreath of palm trees back the stark white sand, making for a beautiful sea-forward color palette. And the warm, gentle water is absolutely perfect for taking a dip.
