How to Plan the Perfect Luxury Holiday in Riviera Maya

Have you decided that the destination for your next holiday will be the Riviera Maya? This has become a wildly popular destination for those looking for a quiet retreat, stunning beaches, lovely properties, spectacular natural beauty and welcoming nature. But why settle for any old holiday when you could go the extra mile and plan a luxury holiday? Whether this is your first luxury holiday or this is your preferred style of vacationing, here are four tips that will help you in the planning process.

Book Luxury Accommodations

Perhaps the most impactful tip when planning a luxury holiday in the Riviera Maya is to book luxury accommodations. Your accommodations set the tone for your entire holiday, so you want to be sure you have access to the most sought-after amenities and beautiful grounds/surroundings. It also needs to be in the perfect location with the amount of space you need. 

Those looking for luxury villa rentals ideal for two or more people can explore villas at Rental Escapes as one option. Villa rentals provide that added space that so many travelers are now looking for. The Riviera Maya has all kinds of properties in this category, giving you the option of choice and flexibility.

Opt for a Private Tour

While being beachside and enjoying a quiet and relaxing vacation is what many have come to expect in the Riviera Maya, it’s important to note that there is a lot to see outside the resort properties. Booking a private tour can be an excellent way to discover the beauty, culture and history of the region. You can get help planning a tour from your travel agent, the concierge at your hotel or the tour desk within the resort.

Perhaps the most notable site to visit is Chichen Itza which is a massive collection of Mayan Ruins that look just like pyramids. These date back 1,200 years ago and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are also on the list of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

Explore the Waters

Another tip is to get out in the water or on the water and explore all its hidden wonders and secrets. The Musa Underwater Museum, located in Cancun, is arguably one of the best underwater activities. It’s unique and memorable – the kind of ingredients you look for in a luxury holiday.

Other water activities include boating, cruises, kite surfing, paddle surfing, snorkeling, diving, swimming with whale sharks, swimming with dolphins and more. 

Pamper Yourself at the Spa

Depending on the hotel, resort or villa complex that you stay at, there may be an on-site spa. If so, this is the perfect opportunity to pamper yourself. Be sure to try out treatments with a local flair for that special added touch.

Booking a vacation to the Riviera Maya means you’re in for a fabulous and relaxing time, but why not elevate the experience to that of a luxury holiday? A luxury holiday means you’ll come back feeling that much more refreshed and rejuvenated.
