Living the high life in Mexico

Luxury really is synonymous with Mexico, and you’ll find endless plush resorts dotted along the coast that exemplify this. Riviera Maya, a Caribbean resort on Mexico’s Yucutan Peninsula, is home to numerous exquisite hotels, some with their own shopping malls, activity centres and private beaches. Riviera Maya is also where you’ll find the Playacar Golf Course and the Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve with dolphins and other exotic species. Playa del Carmen is another luxury resort with fantastic shopping opportunities like the Paseo del Carmen on 5th avenue. Browse through upmarket stores that sell fine art, jewellery and some of the hottest fashions.

For VIP treatment Playa Mujeres is second to none. Right on the tip of the Yucutan Peninsula, 5* resorts here are the height of glamour with gourmet restaurants, waiter service on the beach and your own private hot tub on your hotel room terrace. The Playa Mujeres Golf Course is especially popular with holiday goers and some resorts, like the Dreams Playa Mujeres, offer complimentary green fees.
