Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ZacilVilla Zacil is located on the stunning Riviera Maya, an area known for its numerous all-inclusive resorts, private beach clubs, and beautiful beaches. The Riviera stretches over nearly 100 miles of coastline and is located just south of Cancun - one of Mexico's most popular holiday destinations! It is a tropical paradise that is home to mangroves and lagoons, ancient cenotes, ecological reserves and adventure parks, as well as the world's second-largest coral reef.
Villa Zacil is situated in Puerto Aventuras, Playa del Carmen's little-known neighbour and one of the area's best-kept secrets! The home is just a 20-minute car journey from the popular resort of Playa del Carmen, which is famous for its coral reefs, palm-lined sands, restaurants and nightspots, and just 30-minutes from the town of Tulum, renowned for its laid-back vibe and yoga retreats, ancient Mayan ruins and vegan eateries.
There is plenty of opportunity to make the most of the glorious beaches, with stretches of pristine white sand extending for miles along the coast. Enjoy a day cruise on a catamaran or take a glass-bottomed boat tour to see the wonderful array of colourful fish and crustaceans below the surface. The area is also popular with scuba divers, and you can be guided through one of the deeper cenotes and underground caverns or head out to the incredible Mesoamerican Barrier Reef to see the stunning natural habitat. Stretching for almost 1000 km, the impressive reef formation boasts numerous coral species and seagrass beds, as well as being home to the largest population of manatees.
Alternatively, for more land-based culture, hop in the car and drive along the coast to Tulum, where you can discover the ancient ruins. Constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries, Tulum was the largest city inhabited by the Mayan people and was once an important site for sea trade, with tribes coming from all over the continent. Visit early to explore the impressive archaeological site and admire the enormous stone walls, passing by the imposing El Castillo and seeing the elaborately decorated Templo de las Pinturas, which was a former observatory used to track the movements of the sun. The ruins extend to the beach, and you can bring your bathers to enjoy a swim in the exquisitely blue waters.

Region
Riviera Maya is a breathtaking stretch of coastline renowned for its pristine, sun-kissed beaches, vibrant coral reefs and rich cultural heritage. This tropical paradise on the eastern coast of Mexico extends south of Cancun. It captivates visitors with its wonderful array of attractions, iconic landmarks and ecological wonders. If you haven’t been, then go!!
One of the region's standout attractions is the ancient Mayan city of Tulum. Perched on a clifftop overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Tulum boasts well-preserved ruins that offer a glimpse into the ancient civilization's architectural prowess. Visitors can explore the Castillo, a castle-like structure with panoramic ocean views and the amazing Temple of the Frescoes, adorned with intricate Mayan murals. Tulum also enjoys a stunning beach, providing a perfect blend of history and natural beauty. A short drive inland takes you to the Coba archaeological site, another archaeological gem of the region. Coba is distinguished by its massive pyramid, Nohoch Mul, which stands proudly as the tallest Mayan pyramid in the Yucatan Peninsula. Adventurous souls can climb to the top for a spectacular view of the surrounding jungle. The site also boasts a network of ancient sacbeob (white roads) connecting various structures, creating a sense of mystery and exploration.
For those enchanted by marine life, Xel-Ha Park is extraordinary. Known as the largest natural aquarium in the world, Xel-Ha is a sprawling aquatic theme park where visitors can snorkel amid colourful fish, explore hidden caves and take part in thrilling water activities such as tubing and cliff jumping. Riviera Maya is also famous for its cenotes, natural sinkholes formed by the collapse of cave systems. Dos Ojos, meaning "Two Eyes" in Spanish, is a famous cenote system offering surreal underwater landscapes for snorkelers and scuba divers. Crystal-clear waters reveal intricate rock formations and unique ecosystems, providing an incredible aquatic experience.
In addition to these natural wonders, Riviera Maya boasts vibrant towns and cities that add to its charm. Playa del Carmen, a bustling coastal town, is known for its lively atmosphere, Fifth Avenue shopping district and vibrant nightlife. Visitors can stroll along the pedestrian-friendly street, lined with shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. Playa del Carmen also serves as a gateway to the nearby Cozumel Island, a paradise for divers and snorkelers with its world-class coral reefs. A short distance from Playa del Carmen, the eco-archaeological park, Xcaret, offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and adventure. Families enjoy cultural performances, interact with wildlife in the park's zoo and experience the thrill of the underground river. Xcaret provides a fascinating journey through Mexican history and traditions, making it an ideal destination for all ages. Venturing south, Akumal is a coastal town known for its tranquil beaches and the opportunity to swim with sea turtles. Observing these gentle creatures in their natural habitat is a fabulous experience.
Riviera Maya is a treasure trove of natural wonders, ancient history, aquatic fun and family-friendly attractions. Whether exploring the ancient ruins of Tulum, snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of Xel-Ha or strolling along the lively streets of Playa del Carmen, this Mexican paradise offers a diverse and enriching experience for visitors of all ages. The Riviera Maya beckons with its sun-kissed shores, inviting travellers to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of this captivating destination.

Being on the Riviera means that families are spoilt for choice of places to visit and activities to enjoy; there are, of course, the Mayan ruins in Tulum, where the kids can learn a little about the history and culture of the area, as well as spot iguanas and other local wildlife.
Puerto Aventuras is also full of things to do! Visitors here benefit from a delightful array of activities for children to enjoy. The pristine beaches provide a perfect playground for building sandcastles and splashing in the turquoise waters. For an educational adventure, families can visit the Dolphin Discovery Center, where kids can learn about and interact with these intelligent creatures.

Young adventurers can also embark on guided snorkelling tours to observe the colourful coral reefs and their underwater inhabitants.
