Hidden Beach Resort

Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Sights & Excursions

Tulum and Xel-Ha - On limestone cliffs overlooking the Caribbean, Tulum is the only Mayan fortress built by the sea. The walled city (known as the City of the Dawn) was once the main port to gather goods from as far as Tabasco and Honduras and includes fascinating ruins of several temples. The Xel-Ha eco-park is the world’s largest natural aquarium and a unique phenomenon that combines salt water from the sea with fresh water from underground rivers.

Chichen Itza - This is the most important city and the most famous archaeological site of the Mayan civilisation: climb up the main pyramid to experience this remarkable construction that directly reflects the Mayan solar calendar. Also explore the well-preserved ruins of the Ball Court, Observatory, Temple of the Warriors and the Sacred Wall. Afterwards, refresh yourself by swimming (costume required!) in the transparent waters at Cenote Ik-Kil.

Swim with Dolphins - A once-in-a-lifetime experience not to be missed: a one-hour programme (30 minutes of water time) to interact with the dolphins, including foot push, dorsal tow, dolphin kiss and free time to swim with them.

Jungle Tour - Drive your own two-seater jet ski on a guided tour of the jungle, mangroves and cenotes: explore ample pools of fresh water amid a setting of orchids and multi-coloured birds; they are the entrance to a labyrinth of caves and flooded caverns.

Playa del Carmen - Playa del Carmen has developed from a small fishing village to the largest town on the Riviera Maya with restaurants and nightlife and world class shopping – designer clothes, silver, jewellery and, in the colourful market, ceramics, leather goods, hammocks and native paintings.

Snorkelling Trips - Many first class snorkelling tours are available.
