Mexico has plenty in store for travelers, whether they’re interested in seeing natural or man-made attractions. The country is best known for its beaches, and it certainly delivers on this front. Top attractions include the picturesque beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Los Cabos, and Playa del Carmen. Meanwhile, history enthusiasts visit the country to see ancient Mayan ruins, such as the ones in Palenque, Tulum, Merida, and Cozumel. Other cultural attractions are Guanjanato, with its cobblestone paths, and Mexico City, where you can indulge your inner foodie. Give yourself time to explore this beautiful and colorful country by booking one of the top vacation rentals in Mexico.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
