30 Top Hotels on the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

The Yucatán Peninsula’s coastline is a colourful display of bright azure waters, lush green jungle, white sands and silvery Mayan ruins. Its colonial cites are graceful, its resorts lively and its landscape - dotted with small villages and run through with national parks and biospheres - is largely unsullied by overdevelopment or unsightly construction. And this is where you’ll find some of the world’s best diving and snorkelling, both at sea and in the strange cenotes or sinkholes which lie underneath the jungle. Our guide to 30 top hotels in the Yucatán Penisula will help your plan your trip to get the most from this fascinating region.

For some visitors the best hotels on the Yucatán Peninsula are those closest to the water. Some visitors are here for the pristine white sands of these Caribbean waters. For some people it's the fun side of the resorts, with the party atmosphere which is the main draw and for others it's the region’s wonderful history and incredible archaeological treasures and ruins.

Our selection of great hotels in the Yucatán Peninsula cater to everyone, whether you're looking for a luxurious escape or a beach break - there's something for everyone here.

CancunImage by Emilian Danaila from

The Mayan Riviera and Quintana Roo is the area on the eastern side of the Yucatán Peninsula, including party-central Cancún, dive centre Cozumel and the ancient ruins surrounding Tulum, the most famous of which is wonderfully ancient and astronomically correct Chichén Itzá. This is the bit with the spectacular Caribbean coastline and a scattering of incredible Mayan Ruins.

Divers and snorkellers will definitely want to visit Cozumel. Between this island and the mainland are the spectacular coral gardens of the Palancar Reef and the Great Mayan Reef. As well as being beautiful the reefs are a magnet for marine life. There are amazing sights to see both for novice divers and snorkelers and for more experienced divers. Right across from Cozumel, Playa del Carmen is definitely one of the best places to stay on the Riviera Maya for divers and snorkelers.

Quintana Roo’s jungle interior has some wonderful Maya-Mexicano communities as well as the spectacular ancient sights at Coba. The region’s tourist appeal is relatively new, dating from the 70s, and one of the best things about Quintana Roo is that away from the tourist areas it feels unspoiled and has been largely protected.

Yucatán is the northern part of the peninsula and where you’ll find Mérida, the region’s jungle-set colonial cultural capital. Here it's tropical, so people get most of their work done in the morning, take long siestas in the afternoon and come back in the evening when the cooler breezes roll in off the Gulf of Mexico.

Valladolid is the other great Spanish colonial era city in Yucatán and as well as being beautiful in its own right, it’s also the closest city to Chichen Itza, the Yucatán’s largest and most famous Mayan ruin - which is included in the list of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

CampecheImage by Andreas Schau from Pi

The state of Campeche is the part of the Yucatán Peninsula bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. It’s less known than the rest of the region, but it does have some spectacular Mayan ruins and a beautiful colonial capital city. Its landscape, of relatively flat woods and cenote-dotted tropical rainforest, is probably as fascinating as that of the rest of the region. It also has some rather lovely beaches and the huge draw of being less-visited, yet extremely welcoming.
