We've talked about entertainment for kids in Riviera Maya in detail in the section Holidays with kids. Now let's focus on the options for adult travelers. Even many seasoned travelers have their eyes wide open. You can, of course, just spend all the days of rest splashing in the warm sea and sunbathing on the snow-white Caribbean sand under the shade of palm trees. But it's rare for a tourist to do just that.
The Riviera Maya offers a wealth of activities to suit all tastes and desires. Fans of historical antiquities can visit the archaeological reserve - the only Mayan port of Tulum and admire the beauty of the ancient ruins of the legendary Mayan city of Chichen Itza.
As you tour the ancient Mayan cities, you'll become a participant and spectator of famous Mexican shows about the life of the ancient people. Mayan culture permeates every aspect of the resort's life.
Golf has become a great pastime for adults in Riviera Maya. The natural beauty has allowed planners to create unique courses, combining wildlife and the wonders of modern design.
An excellent vacation option for adults and children in Riviera Maya is a stay at the Xplor amusement park. This unique reserve, built in 2009 on 50 hectares of land, offers rafting on underground rivers, diving in the clear waters of cenotes and adrenaline-fueled crossing of suspension bridges over jungle chasms. Orchid parks, butterfly parks, a turtle cave and jaguar island await the adventurous.
The nightlife in Riviera Maya is no less colorful. Noisy parties, full moon parties, Mayan witch shows, and carnivals attract young and active tourists. Nightclubs in Riviera Maya are predominantly located in the resort capital of Playa del Carmen. Excellent options for nightlife can be found in Tulum. If you can't get enough fun, head to Cancun.
