Why guests love Akumal

Akumal — Mayan for 'place of the turtles' — is a calm, family-friendly cove an hour south of Cancun. The reef sits just yards offshore, the water is glass-clear, and the pace of life slows down the second you arrive.

Swim with sea turtles

Protected Akumal Bay is one of the best places in the world to snorkel with green sea turtles, year-round.

Cenotes around the corner

The Yal-Kú lagoon and dozens of cenotes are minutes away by car or bike.

Quiet, family-friendly

Calmer than Tulum or Playa — perfect for families, divers and travelers who want to unplug.
