Akumal
New Development
In the heart of the Riviera Maya, just 37 km from Playa del Carmen, and just one hour south of Cancun, is Akumal, one of the best places to visit in the Mexican Caribbean for its wide variety of beautiful beaches and tourist services. Akumal means in the Mayan language βLand of turtlesβ and it is still one of the favorite places for these marine animals to breed, however, what makes Akumal a place of charm and fascination for tourists from all over the world, is its spectacular bay with its transparent colors and the fresh waters of its caves and underground rivers. Akumal is one of the quietest places on the Mayan Riviera, a shallow and protected bay, with a quiet beach and a nearby reef.
