Handpicked hotels
Mexico holidays offer all the bliss of the Caribbean, with a sprinkling of Latin fiestas and mythical Mayan sites. Glorious beaches, fabulous shopping and excellent cuisine also make it the ideal place to kick back and indulge. If that wasn't enough, our all-inclusive packages bring another level of luxury for visitors ready to try new experiences on their Mexico holiday.
Another of Mexico’s beautiful Mayan sites, Tulum is also one of the most accessible – it’s just a couple of hours from Cancun. You’ll find the ruins dotted across 39-foot-tall cliff-tops, overlooking the ocean.
This aquatic park is the perfect location to practise snorkelling and see all sorts of exotic fish, or simply float down the river in a rubber ring. Intrepid mini travellers can take on the jungle trails, zip lines and floating bridge.
Kids will love discovering Mexican culture and the Mayan jungle in this seaside park with more than 50 attractions to explore. Go in the afternoon and stay on for the colourful night show.
Cozumel is a good place to go diving. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or you’re trying it out for the first time, there are excursions for every age and ability. You’ll discover the Mesoamerican Reef – a protected marine area and the second largest reef in the world, after the Great Barrier Reef.
Inside this archaeological site sits the fascinating Temple of Kukulkan (also known as El Castillo, meaning ‘The Castle’). It’s an iconic pyramid, and one of the most recognisable of the Mayan ruins.
The name of this Riviera Nayarit beach may translate to ‘beach of the dead’, but don't be dissuaded, this is a great place to relax in a peaceful atmosphere and go swimming. The nearby town of Sayulita is loved by both tourists and locals for its vendors, water sports and seemingly endless string of restaurants and bars.
Pujol can be found in Mexico City, and is ranked among the 50 best restaurants in the world. Chef Enrique Olvera puts his own unique twist on well-known and well-loved local classics.
This beach spans two miles of fine golden sand. It’s also split into two sections – the north is the most bustling, while the south is much quieter and more suited to relaxation. Don’t miss Wah Wah while you’re there – it’s one of the area’s oldest, and most loved, beach bars.
Make sure you try Mezcal. This drink, which is similar to tequila, is handcrafted in Oaxacan villages from the nectar of spiky green agave plants. All across Mexico you’ll find this drink served in specialist bars called mezcalerias.
Choose to stay at the exclusive, all-inclusive Secrets Hotel in Riviera Cancun, and you’ll get to explore Maroma Beach. It’s quiet, peaceful and serene. You’ll feel like you’re miles away from everyday life.

If you're travelling from the UK with a British passport, you do not need a visa. You may need to complete an online immigration form - check ahead of time.
Cancun is one of Mexico’s most visited, and safest, destinations, especially in the Hotel Zone. It’s well-patrolled, tourist-friendly, and full of world-class resorts, white beaches, and buzzing nightlife. Perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
Here’s what you need to know before you go - Virgin Atlantic Holidays style:
We suggest between November-April, this is Mexico’s dry season with warm, sunny days and little rain. For sunshine without the crowds, aim for late November or early December - right before the holiday rush. It’s the sweet spot for weather, prices, and vibe.
If you dream of powdery white sand and turquoise waters, Cancun is your paradise. It’s packed with world-class resorts, buzzing nightlife, and day trips to ancient ruins and cenotes. Stretching from Cancun to Tulum, the Riviera Maya gives you access to lush jungles, ancient ruins, cenotes, and eco-parks like Xcaret and Xel-Há.
If it’s your first time in Mexico, start with Cancun for that dreamy beach-meets-adventure balance. Choose Playa del Carmen if you're after charm, culture, and easy access to Riviera Maya adventures.
Bonus: they’re only an hour apart. So if you can’t decide, why not split your trip and enjoy the best of both worlds?
