The vast and vibrant country of Mexico is one of the world’s best travel destinations. Here you’ll find an abundance of culture, history and party — truly whatever type of experience you may be searching for. While opportunities are endless year round, Mexico is especially exciting during the springtime, as many travelers seek Mexico’s tropics for a break from the cold. During this time of year, Cancun, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta are the best places to visit with an incredible array of activities, seasonal events, and more! Here is our complete guide so you can make the most of the season and kick off the year in paradise.
Cancun
Quintana Roo, located on the eastern side of the Yucatán Peninsula, is truly one of the best places to visit in the spring as the climate begins to mellow and tourism isn’t at its absolute peak. This state is quite expansive and includes places such as Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Cancun. With miles of beautiful coastline, some of Mexico’s best beaches, and never-ending sunshine, Quintana Roo is a favorite destination for vacationers. It offers a rewarding escape for families, groups of friends, solo travelers, and spring breakers because of its proximity to beaches, luxurious all-inclusive resorts, and exciting nightlife. But that’s not all. It also attracts explorers as it is the gateway to some of the world’s most precious archeological sites.
A 2.5 hour drive from Cancun will lead you to the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, which was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. As tourism begins to slow down in April, booking a trip out to the ruins will be well worth the journey. Alternatively, be sure to take the quick 30-minute boat ride from Cancun to the sacred Isla Mujeres. Equally stunning, this island has long-standing significance, belonging to the Mayan goddess, Ixchel, who represents the moon, happiness, and fertility. If Cancun sounds like the place for you, then two of the top resorts to stay at are Villa del Palmar and Garza Blanca.
At Villa del Palmar Cancun you’ll get to choose between 5 outdoor swimming pools, 6 resort bars (a beach bar and lounge among them), and 4 gourmet on-site restaurants to deliciously highlight the flavors of the Caribbean. The resort comes outfitted with a full array of events to engage the entire family. Actively spend your days snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, attaining your goals at the fitness center, or braving the floating aqua park! With a dedicated kids’ club, you’ll have plenty of options to enjoy time both together and separately.
Garza Blanca Cancun can best be described as a place of magic. Featuring 452 spacious, luxury suites with private balconies, 4 gourmet restaurants, 7 outdoor swimming pools – including an adults-only Rooftop infinity pool, and a world-class spa, the architecture and design take inspiration from the region’s natural beauty. In addition to that, guests have the privilege of having a dedicated personal butler to assist them throughout their stay and the Gourmet Culinary All-Inclusive plan gives you access to the finest world cuisine and room service is available around the clock.
Los Cabos
The rugged beauty of Baja California makes it a true must-visit location. As one of Mexico’s best places to visit during the spring, the natural beauty of Los Cabos is accentuated by the season. From mid-December all the way until mid-April is the humpback whale migration season. Come during this especially magical time as thousands of whales make the long journey from Alaska to the warmer waters of the Sea of Cortez to mate and give birth to their young. During this time of year, many of nature’s wonders are on full display.
At Garza Blanca Los Cabos you may even spot some of these whales from your private balcony! Situated on the beach directly between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, Garza Blanca Los Cabos is an all-inclusive, family-friendly resort that spares no expense in giving you the luxurious escape that you deserve. Between 8 heated swimming pools, contemporary decor, complimentary resort activities, a luxury spa, and 4 gourmet restaurants, just bring yourself and those you love for an unrivaled vacation in paradise.
Puerto Vallarta
Known for its incredible beauty and romantic energy, Puerto Vallarta embodies Mexico’s spirit of color and vibrancy. Here you’ll find tourist attractions ranging from thrilling water sports to mountainous day trips, making it one of the country’s best places to visit in spring.
Ranked among the best resorts in all of Puerto Vallarta, Garza Blanca’s array of hotel and in-room amenities will make your experience truly one-of-a-kind. Featuring lavish design, exquisite eats, and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, you’ll feel any stress completely melt away. Take in the views from the hammock on your private balcony or from one of several outdoor heated swimming pools. Perfectly located on the south side of the Bay of Banderas, you’ll be staying next to some of Vallarta’s natural wonders. If you are eager to get in the water, we recommend booking either a snorkeling or scuba diving boat tour to Los Arcos: a breathtaking collection of natural rock formations with abundant sea life and clear visibility.
For an adults-only escape, Hotel Mousai is located on the mountainside, just up the hill from Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta. With its brand-new South Tower, Hotel Mousai continues to raise the bar with its chic, flirtatious decor and two Rooftop infinity pools with jaw-dropping views. The hotel was built incorporating the natural elements found in the area. Experience the ultimate comfort and luxury at the place where the jungle and the ocean meet.
As you begin to dream up and plan for your next spring beach vacation, consider Cancun, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta as they are the best places to visit in Mexico. With a milder climate and smaller crowds, come discover incredible beaches, spot the migrating humpback whales, and indulge in cuisine that will seduce all your senses.
