If you're looking for a luxury trip to an idyllic destination, Riviera Maya is a must. This coastal strip of more than 62 miles in length is home to what are indeed the most photographed beaches on the planet, renowned Mayan ruins such as those of Cobá or Chichén Itzá; the seabed of the island of Cozumel or the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'An. It is no coincidence that the Barceló Hotels & Resorts on the Riviera Maya remain in the traveler's memory as a permanent summer.

The beaches of the Riviera Maya are what the imagination dreams of when it comes to oases of sand and blue. From Puerto Morelos to Punta Allen, the fine white sand and clear, calm waters of the beaches allow for all kinds of water sports. They also leave room for adventure: visit the private reserve of Rio Secreto with its stalactite and stalagmite caves; dive in Cozumel for its starfish colony, or discover the corals of the Palancar reef among more than 250 species of tropical fish.

Another option is hiring a kayak and heading to the Sian Ka’An Biosphere Reserve, with 1,236 acres of marshes, dunes, jungle, and mangroves. There, manatees and over 300 species of birds are regular inhabitants. Experiences in out-of-the-ordinary environments provided by Barceló Hotels & Resorts on the Riviera Maya along with the most luxurious rest and relaxation.

This area owes its name precisely to two important archaeological sites: Cobá, about 25 miles from Tulum, and Chichén Itzá, recognized as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. The temple of Kukalcán is, along with the beaches, one of the most recognizable picture postcard images on this side of the world.
