Property at a Glance: Adults-Only Senses Riviera Maya By Artisan

Soft Caribbean breezes flow throughout this 4-star adults-only hotel, which sits right on the beach about 15 minutes away from central Playa del Carmen. With a cabana-lined pool that overlooks the ocean and a chic, elegant interior with hip decor that looks plucked straight from a modern art exhibit, it’s no wonder this tropical adults-only haven earned a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor in 2016.

• Never miss a meal thanks to the onsite Cavamar Restaurant and the hotel’s room service, which runs until 10:00 p.m. This Groupon includes daily breakfast for two.
• Up the awe factor by catching the surrealist, world-renowned acrobatics of performers at Cirque Du Soleil Riviera Maya, located right next door.
• Take a day trip to Akumal, home to one of the biggest reefs in the world—it’s just 23 miles away.

Playa del Carmen, Mexico: Trendy Beach Area and Diving Destination

Just across the sea from the island of Cozumel, Playa del Carmen has been called “the hippest city in all of the Yucatán Peninsula” by Lonely Planet. The laid-back beach bars and cafés have a way of converting vacationers into expats, but Playa’s most compelling draw might be its cenotes—cavernous sinkholes filled with turquoise pools. The water in the cenotes is crystal clear, particularly at the lily-pad-dotted Xlacah cenote, where you can snorkel among schools of colorful fish.

To the south, you’ll find preserved ruins of pre-Columbian cities. Tulum’s crumbling temples are situated above a dramatic ocean bluff, and Coba’s enormous pyramid rises between two lagoons. For a fun day trip, hop aboard the ferry to Cozumel, which docks at the pier east of Calle 1. There are about a dozen dive shops on Cozumel, and they offer trips offshore to the reefs that Jacques Cousteau declared some of the world’s most beautiful.
