The country is home to some 9,300km of coastline, of which nearly 3,000km sits on the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea and is home to some of the worlds best beaches.

 

The Yucatán Peninsula separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. Known as Mexico's Riviera Maya resort, the strip is cushioned in between two popular destinations: Cancún on the north side, with its high-rise hotels, and down the coast, Tulum, a rare seaside town pairing ancient Mayan ruins with a very distinctive boho, beach vibe.

 

We flew direct from Frankfurt into Cancun on a 12 hour direct flight with Lufthansa and headed south to Tulum to our boutique hotel for 5 nights of beach bliss.
