Playa del Carmen in the Mayan Riviera... alabaster-white beaches, gentle surf, coral reefs and a slow lifestyle

Originally named Xaman-Ha (waters of the north) Playa del Carmen is a living vibrant part of the Maya World (Mundo Maya). Located on the beautiful Mexicana Caribbean coast 40 miles south of Cancun, Playa, as it is now affectionately known, is the perfect base from which to explore the fascinating sites of Quintana Roo. Playa del Carmen is blessed with miles of unspoiled white sandy beaches and crystal-clear Caribbean waters.
