Beach Fun: A Playground By The Sea

What is a better way to begin your family trip than with a visit to the beach? The sea in the Mexican Caribbean has just the right amount of waves for young kids to play in, and the white, sandy beach is fantastic for kids to build sand castles and spend time in the sun (with enough sunscreen, of course!) Enjoy the fantastic beach service and the soft breeze while children play in the sand and explore the area.

Palmar Beach Riviera Maya has an excellent beach area for families to enjoy, whether in the early morning to watch the sunrise while having a family picnic or just taking a cool dip in the sea. In addition, the resort’s beach is equipped with umbrellas and lounge chairs, so you can stay cool comfortably and pick whether you want to be in the shade or the sun.

Water Sports in The Ocean And The Pool

If you are an active family, then snorkeling, paddleboarding, and sailing in the clear and turquoise waters of Palmar Beach is a must. This makes it easy to get the whole family together and share unique and beautiful experiences while exploring the underwater life of the Caribbean. Whether this is your first or tenth experience, we are prepared to receive anyone from beginner to experienced snorkelers and paddleboarders. The calm waters are ideal for everyone to enjoy swimming in! Observe tropical fish, coral gardens, and, if you are lucky, sea turtles.

There are also several pools on the property, including smaller areas with shallow water that are safe for your children to play in. We also have water game matches like water polo and other family-friendly games and active classes like Aquafit.

The central pool has water slides that will amuse your children for hours. There are also enough sunbeds around the pool to sit and watch your children have fun in the water while reading your favorite book and sipping on a delicious Margarita. With the sun’s rays out and poolside snacks and drinks available, everyone will be energized and happy throughout the day.

Spa Treatments For Everyone

At Palmar Beach Riviera Maya, relaxation is for all ages. Kaab Spa has something special for everyone, from rejuvenating massages and facials for adults to kid-friendly treatments designed for our younger guests. Your little ones can have their own relaxing time, like a fun mini mani-pedi or a gentle massage while you indulge in your own soothing therapies. The spa is the perfect escape to refresh and rejuvenate, whether you are unwinding after a long day or bonding as a family.

Tulum Ruins: Ancient History To Explore

For a family adventure outside the resort, a visit to the famous Tulum Ruins is unmissable. Only a short drive from Palmar Beach, Tulum is a historical site that will peak the interest of the whole family. Explore the ancient Mayan city built on a cliff top overlooking the sea as you walk through this unbelievable archaeological site. The site is a great combination of history, culture and stunning scenery; ideal for the whole family while on vacation in the Riviera Maya.

Xcaret Eco-Park: A World Of Wildlife And Nature

Xcaret Eco-Park is one of the most visited family parks in the Riviera Maya, and for good reason. It’s an ideal place for those with children who love the outdoors and animals. From playing in the water of the underground rivers to watching jaguars and turtles, Xcaret has it all when it comes to an adventure that is fun and incredibly interesting. The park also has cultural performances that will blow your mind away and craft activities that illustrate Mexican traditions; therefore, it is an excellent place for children of all ages and adults to have fun. It is a great way to learn about nature, culture, and wildlife in one stunning place.

Cenote Adventures: A Natural Playground

Cenotes are natural pools of the most pristine and crystal-clear water, and to visit these beautiful places is a true honor and an exciting experience for the whole family. Many cenotes near Puerto Morelos offer swimming and snorkeling in their clear waters. The experience is stunning and invigorating, with a science fiction-like atmosphere that both the kids and grown-ups will love. There are several cenotes in the area, many of which have unique features. Some go as far as having zip lines to make a genuinely grand entrance. It is a great experience to swim in a quiet cenote and learn about how it was formed (we’ll keep that a secret you can unveil when visiting!)
