Costa Maya, Mexico’s Caribbean treasure, is more than a cruise stop or a stretch of turquoise coastline—it’s a land where ancient Maya heritage and Afro-Caribbean influences meet. Here, sacred temples rise from the jungle, fishermen share stories of the sea, and rhythms of marimba and punta connect travelers to cultural survival. Costa Maya invites you to explore not only sun-soaked beaches but also the enduring legacies of Indigenous and African-descended peoples who shaped the region’s identity.
Why visit Costa Maya?
Located on the southern Yucatán coast, Costa Maya blends natural beauty with cultural depth. Snorkel along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—the second largest in the world—or relax on Mahahual’s golden sands. Venture inland to Chacchoben or Kohunlich, where towering pyramids and intricate carvings reveal the ingenuity of the Maya. In coastal villages, Afro-Mexican and Garifuna communities keep music, food, and language alive, offering Diaspora travelers a powerful reminder of shared resilience across the Caribbean.
