With Mexico enjoying what can only be described as its busiest tourist season yet, travelers are no longer assured of the warm winter vacation they dream of; hotels in the sunny neighboring country are almost sold out.
That’s especially true for those flocking to the country’s most coveted destinations, which, as you’ll see below, are welcoming unprecedented numbers of tourists eager to explore the region’s wonders.
Now that travel has officially begun in 2024, three Mexican-Caribbean hotspots stand out as the trendiest hotspots in the country, with occupancy rates soaring.
If you’re planning a trip to Playacar, Akumal, or Cancun this winter, you need to book those tickets as soon as possible.
This is why:
1. Playacar
Hotels in Playa Del Carmen’s most exclusive area currently have an impressive occupancy rate of 83.5%, so those who want to experience the breathtaking views of the region while feeling spoiled by these all-inclusive deals should book their holidays now.
Playacar is the physical representation of the luxury travel scene of the Mexican Caribbean and is the ultimate oasis where you can escape the stress of everyday life.
You’ll find that the gated community strikes just the right balance between luxury resorts and pristine beaches, while the fact that most places in the area are only accessible through packages that include accommodation, food, drinks and more will take all your efforts. the stressful budgeting and decision-making are eliminated – your only job will be to sit back and relax.
Unlike many other Mexican hotspots known for their vibrant nightlife and young atmosphere, Playacar exudes a more serene charm, perfect for couples, families or simply those who want to enjoy the views of the Caribbean in peace and quiet .
While the pristine, powder-white beaches that stretch along the area are undoubtedly the biggest tourist draw, there’s plenty more to do here than just laze on the soft sand.
Depending on what you’re most interested in, you can explore the nearby Mayan ruins, take advantage of the local 18-hole golf course, or take in the views of the many underwater wonders by diving or snorkeling – better yet, get away from it all cupboard and experience everything the region has to offer.
2. Akumal
Akumal has certainly started 2024 on a high: January isn’t even over yet and the beautiful seaside town has already established itself as one of Mexico’s trendiest hotspots.
Although tourism in the area is experiencing one of the best seasons in history, there are only so many people that can be accommodated within the square 100 km.
With a name that literally means ‘Place of the Turtles’, most travelers know what to look forward to when booking a trip to Akumal.
The dreamy seaside town is nothing short of a sea turtle sanctuary; the beautiful creatures swim peacefully along the coast, often alongside people.
That’s why snorkelers and divers consider Akumal their ultimate spot – well, that and the fact that the area is known for its crystal clear waters and diverse marine life.
3. Cancun
At this point, no list of the hottest Mexican hotspots would be complete without a mention of Cancun, a place so popular and iconic that it holds the title of the most visited beach destination in the world, and considering the fierce competition, that’s remarkable. .
Surprisingly, Cancun barely made it to the podium this time, ranking at number 1.3 with a (still impressive) hotel occupancy of 80% – however, it’s worth remembering that there are many more hotels and short-term rentals in Cancun than in Akumal or Playacar.
What these numbers tell us is that our favorite international destination doesn’t seem to be losing its record-breaking popularity anytime soon.
Whether you want to spend your days being pampered at an all-inclusive hotel, laze on the world-class beaches, explore the region’s rich history or dance the night away at one of the local nightclubs, there’s only one thing you need to know: Cancun really is as good as they say.
