Top neighbourhoods in Cancun

Hotel Zone which includes a coastal town, general coastal views and night scenes

Zona Hotelera

Cancun's Hotel Zone delivers exactly what you'd expect: miles of postcard-perfect beaches with water so blue it looks Photoshopped. The 14-mile strip packs in everything from wild nightclubs like Coco Bongo to open-air shopping at La Isla mall. Between beach lounging and frozen margaritas, you can explore the Mayan Museum or swim with tropical fish at the Interactive Aquarium. Resort shuttles and taxis handle most transport needs along Boulevard Kukulcan. High-rise hotels dominate the landscape, offering everything from swim-up bars to championship golf courses. The tradeoff for paradise? Everything costs more here, and authentic Mexican culture takes a backseat to tourist-friendly experiences.

Downtown Cancun

City centre Cancun captures the real Mexico with its lively markets and local flavour. Stroll through Parque de las Palapas where families gather under palm trees and vendors serve up delicious street treats. Mercado 28 and Mercado 23 offer handcrafted treasures from colourful textiles to wooden masks. The pink-domed cathedral brings a touch of serenity to this buzzing district. Authentic taquerías serve mouthwatering cochinita pibil and fresh seafood at wallet-friendly prices. Budget hotels and family-run guesthouses make staying here affordable. City buses run frequently to the Hotel Zone, making beach trips a breeze. The compact layout lets you explore on foot while experiencing everyday Mexican life.

Aerial panoramic view of Punta Norte beach, Cancun, Mexico. Beautiful beach area with luxury hotels near the Caribbean sea in Cancun, Mexico.

Punta Cancun delivers the ultimate tropical party playground where thumping nightlife meets Caribbean paradise. Dance until dawn at mega-clubs like Coco Bongo or sip cocktails with ocean views along the Hotel Zone's dazzling coastline. Pristine white-sand beaches invite daytime recovery with crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, while resort towers create a glittering skyline. Getting around couldn't be easier with buses running every 15 minutes along Boulevard Kukulcan. Most travellers stay in all-inclusive beachfront resorts, though prices definitely reflect the prime location. From upscale dining to shopping at nearby La Isla, everything in this vibrant entertainment district caters to visitors seeking fun in the sun.

La Isla shopping mall! Has some great attractions with a wide range of places to eat!

La Isla

La Isla is where Cancun shows off its glamorous side with endless sunshine and sparkling blue waters. You can shop at the open-air La Isla Shopping Village, get up close with sea creatures at the interactive aquarium, or simply sprawl out on pristine Caribbean beaches. The marina's luxury yachts bob alongside waterfront restaurants while the Nicupté Lagoon offers peaceful kayaking adventures away from the beach crowds. Hotels here range from high-end resorts to boutique properties with beachfront access and infinity pools. Getting around is a breeze with buses running every 10-15 minutes along Boulevard Kukulcán or you can rent a golf cart for shorter trips. Most venues stay open from late morning until midnight, perfect for dining on fresh ceviche or sipping craft cocktails.

Dining options range from authentic taquerias serving cochinita pibil to tourist-friendly spots with fresh ceviche. Mid-range hotels and business lodges provide comfortable bases for exploration, while frequent buses and abundant taxis make getting around a breeze.

Cancun and related destinations

Turquoise waters lap against powdery white beaches where ancient Mayan history meets modern indulgence. The Hotel Zone stretches along 14 miles of Caribbean coastline, with resorts ranging from spring break havens to family-friendly retreats. Escape crowds at Las Perlas Beach or explore underwater museums where sculptures become artificial reefs. Nearby Tulum offers cliffside Mayan ruins with spectacular views. Plunge into sacred cenotes – natural sinkholes with crystal-clear water that Mayans believed were gateways to the underworld. After sunset, beachfront clubs pulse until dawn, though locals might direct you to city centre spots with less touristy pricing. Visit during off-season (May-November) for lower rates, just watch for hurricanes.
