Akumal is a quaint town on Akumal Bay, 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Cancún. Akumal in the Mayan language means “place of turtles” because the marine reptiles favor its beaches for spawning. While Mexico’s Riviera Maya can be packed with tourists, Akumal remains a peaceful place with a stunning lagoon, secluded beaches, and underground rivers. However serene the town is, there is no shortage of activities in Akumal. The clear, blue-green waters of this beach-front community make it a popular destination for snorkeling. Akumal is also the place to explore your first cenote, a water-filled limestone sinkhole, or visit a monkey sanctuary. You may want to hop on an ATV and explore the mangrove forests, too. To score the perfect accommodations that suit your lifestyle, consider renting a car to have a look around Quintana Roo. Check out the best all-inclusive resorts in Akumal, Mexico.
