Why this trip
Turtles grazing in the shallow water just a few metres from the beach: Akumal is the quiet side of the Riviera Maya. Between November and April the sky is mostly clear, and the sea is calm enough for snorkelling. The village lies between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, so depending on your mood you can make a trip in either direction. Xel-Há is a nature park with lagoons and cenote water that suits half a day.
Xcaret offers culture and nature in one place. If you prefer to keep things quiet, stay in Akumal and rent a beach villa, for example the Beachfront Villa in the bay. Cozumel and Cancún are also nearby. The language is Spanish.
Swiss guests can enter visa-free for up to 180 days, and the flight takes about 12 to 14 hours, usually with a stopover. It is a good idea to plan nothing for the day after arrival. How many nights you should spend on this coast, and whether a second stop would fit, can be talked through on the video call.
