Playa del Carmen is the best in adult fun for everyone :)

Whether you’re a group of single ladies, bachelors, or mommies and daddies who want to get away for a weekend, Playa del Carmen (Playa) is the ultimate playground.

Only a half an hour from the Cancun airport, Playa has the infrastructure of a big city, yet retains its small-town vibes. You can wander with ease its downtown without being confined to one resort. Discover Playa’s beaches, world-class dining, excellent day drinking options, and nighttime entertainment. Each has the signature flare and pizzaz that can only be found in Mexico.

While Playa del Carmen has it all, here are our top 10 “adults only” places for a weekend of sun and fun.
