Playa del Carmen is located in the center of the Riviera Maya, between Cancun and Tulum. It is a vibrant fast-growing cosmopolitan beach town with a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere completed by stretches of white sandy beaches and the crystal clear blue Caribbean Sea.
Playa del Carmen is a 'laid back funky town' full of small bars, restaurants, hotels and shops. Many of the local restaurants and hotels are owned and managed by Europeans and North Americans. Therefore you'll find a true international culture in Playa del Carmen and an amazing variety of international cuisine, varying from authentic Mexican tacos to real Italian pizzas and pastas and Swedish style noodles.
Playa del Carmen is the perfect base for a Caribbean beach and adventure holiday. The Riviera Maya has lots to offer. What about stretches of beautiful unspoiled beaches, exciting jungle with amazing flora and fauna, awesome freshwater cenotes, impressive Mayan ruins and friendly local people?
