Intrepid travellers in search of pristine, unspoiled island life should head straight down the Yucatan Peninsula coast for a slice of paradise called Tulum. Largely untouched by mass development, this idyllic location houses plenty of beachfront rentals for fun-filled days amid sand and sea. While you might not get the best Wi-Fi connection or cell phone signal here, the region’s beauty will all but make up for that. Be sure to visit the several cenotes connected by wooden pathways at Gran Cenote. Explore the immersive museum of Mystika Immersive, which pays homage to the Mayan culture. Another must-visit attraction here is Laguna de Kaan Luum where you can swim in the turquoise waters of the deep pool or lounge on the hammocks.
