Akumal, Mexico

Akumal is located about forty-five minutes south of Playa Del Carmen and twenty minutes south of Puerto Aventuras. It is divided into sub areas of Akumal, Akumal Bay, Aventuras Akumal, and South Akumal. This area was settled and developed by Don Pablo Bush and home to some of the prettiest beaches and best diving in the Yucatan Peninsula. The barrier reef that protects the area keeps the waters calm and gorgeous, making it a perfect vacation spot for families.

Activities are limitless and include swimming, diving, snorkeling, wind surfing, sailing, sunbathing, and much more. As with other coastal towns in the Yucatan, Akumal is situated perfectly for day trips to Mayan ruins and Cenotes, as well as deep sea fishing from the marina at Puerto Aventuras. Golf and tennis courts are available there as well. A number of beach bars dish up great food, cold beverages and serve as a spot to meet other visitors and locals. There is a small commercial center with two small grocery stores, boutiques, gift and dive shops.
