Playa Mahahual
Day 1-2
The warm Caribbean breeze, the ever-present, soothing crash of the waves breaking on the barrier reef. The sunrise of soft pinks, Mars-like reds, and intense oranges. Long walks, without ever passing another soul. Are some of the few things that make this destination magical and perfect for a new beginning year. This will be our base for our stay and it is one of the very few areas in Mexico that still has untouched beaches. I picked this place because of its many possible activities for any kind of mood, it is perfect for fly fishing the saltwater flats, snorkeling the coral reefs (just steps from our door), simply eating too much food, and napping in the shade of a palm, diving or kayaking.

Bacalar Lagoon
Day 2-3
Bacalar, also known as the seven color lagoon is one of my favorite places in Mexico, these unique turquoise lakes in Quintana Roo are the perfect detour that promises to take your breath away with its shades of blue and healing sands.

Chacchoben
Day 3-4
Located in Costa Maya and just an hour away from Mahahual. This space was once reserved for ceremonies and rituals, now ours to discover. We will experience the world of the ancient Mayans and understand, a little bit better, their vision of their universe while enlivening your senses with the sounds of nature.

Sian Ka'an which means the door to paradise in Mayan, is a sublime area of natural beauty, home to thousands of species of flora and fauna; and possibly one of the most astonishing parts of the Yucatan peninsula, it is located 3,5 hours north of Xcalak. It is possible to rent a car or hire a tour to take us there, depending on how many of us would join.

We will find a tropical atmosphere, calm and clear waters, and a plethora of things to do. Relax in beach bars nestled in thick palms, sipping cocktails and enjoying good food, or hire a kayak and explore the ocean. Get your snorkeling gear on and try to spot rays and sea turtles, or just settle down on the sand with a good book.
