About Akumal

Akumal, "place of turtles". Easy and contented, this small little beach community is located 75 miles south of Cancun, Mexico, along Mexico's Caribbean Coast. It is a welcoming and friendly place and a cherished secret for those who have been visiting for years. Akumal is centrally located along The Riviera Maya and makes an excellent base for exploring the many archeological sites and other attractions in the area. Home to the timeless Maya and blessed with the turquoise sea, bright sky and emerald green jungles, Akumal offers endless opportunities for discovery and adventure.

Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, Wind Surfing and Kayaking are all part of the daily routine in Akumal. Akumal's bays are populated with brightly colored tropical fish, sea turtles and other marine life.

So much to see and do. . .but what Akumal is really all about is relaxing, spending time with family making new friends, and letting the warm sunlight and blue water soothe you.

Our community life is centered around Akumal Bay. Here you will find "town". Home to our Ecology Center, restaurants, boutiques, the bakery, gym and yoga classes. It is an eclectic community with much to offer.
