Riviera Maya, also known as the Mayan Riviera is located on the eastern portion of the Yucatan Peninsula. A major attraction throughout the Riviera Maya are coastal and reef aquatic activities dependent on the coastal water and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (also known as the Belize Barrier Reef) which begins near Cancun and continues along the whole length of the Riviera Maya continuing southward to Guatemala. This barrier reef system is the second longest in the world. Other activities at the most visited locations include snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming in cenotes, swimming with dolphins, zip lining, sailing, and guided jungle tours.
Catalonia Riviera Maya is in the heart of the Riviera Maya opposite the sea, on the Mexican Caribbean coast. Puerto Aventuras, the town where this beautiful Resort and Spa is located, is a privileged setting with a beautiful marina for yachts and dolphin pools.With over 3000 cenotes and the second biggest natural reef in the world, we do challenge you to take the plunge into 3000 years Mayan civilisation, Mesoamerican Pre-Columbian culture and hidden worlds!
