Cancun has long been considered the ultimate holiday resort in Mexico. This popular coastal destination offers a sprawling complex of hotels and resorts, including a sensational selection of accommodation hand chosen for our luxury holidays in Mexico.

Cancun’s hotel zone may be populated mostly with tourists but downtown Cancun, with its heady mix of restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls and markets, is very much a Mexican city with a reputation as a party hotspot to rival Las Vegas. Cancun’s nightlife is renowned as among the world’s best. Dozens of bars and nightclubs welcome tourists with the irresistible promise of tequila and lively music.

A short distance down the coast you can explore Mexican history at the Mayan archaeological sites that include the spectacular cliff-top ruins at Tulum, the pyramids at Uxmal and the famous temple complex of Chichen Itza.

Such ancient wonders are balanced by the modern attractions of Cancun’s air-conditioned shopping malls. Here you will find outstanding duty-free deals on everything from watches and jewellery to alcohol and tobacco products. There are also wonderful examples of local handicrafts that you will treasure along with your memories of Cancun.

In tropical Cancun, the average temperature is 27 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit), with only slight variations throughout the year.

The weather in Cancun is gloriously predictable: November to February is temperate, and then the air becomes drier and hotter during March and April. May to January sees the rainy season, and tropical storms can occur between June and December.

Spanish is the official language in Mexico. Some English is spoken in tourist regions.
