For a more contemporary experience, chic beachfront restaurants serve fusion cuisine alongside picturesque ocean views.
Dive deeper:
Beyond the beaches, uncover Cancun’s lesser-known cultural gems. Visit The Maya Museum of Cancun, showcasing artefacts from the region’s ancient civilisations. Nature enthusiasts can explore the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with diverse wildlife and mangroves. For a unique underwater experience, snorkel at the MUSA underwater museum, where submerged sculptures blend art with marine conservation.
Good to know:
Cancun experiences a tropical climate, with the dry season running from November to April. The local currency is the Mexican peso (MXN), and English is widely understood in tourist areas. Be aware of seasonal Sargassum seaweed, which can accumulate along the coastline. Transport options include buses, taxis, and car hire for exploring further afield.

Dive-deeper:
To truly appreciate Puerto Morelos, immerse yourself in its natural beauty and heritage. Take a boat tour to explore the reef’s diverse marine life or venture into the lush mangroves of the nearby biosphere reserve. Visit the local botanical garden, home to exotic flora and fauna, or explore ancient Mayan ruins just a short drive away in Tulum and Coba.
Good to know:
The local currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN), but US dollars are widely accepted. The best time to visit is from November to April, when the weather is warm and dry. While Puerto Morelos maintains a relaxed vibe, be mindful of strong ocean currents when swimming.
