Playa del Carmen | Vacation Destination | Riviera Maya Mexico

Playa Del Carmen
The driving beat in the heart of the Riviera Maya belongs to Playa del Carmen, a sleepy beachside village that has evolved into a chic cosmopolitan city throughout the past 20 years. Uninterrupted stretches of white sand have attracted a worldly mix of citizens whom, in turn, have created Playa’s funky, international flavor. Featuring the longest shopping district around, visitors up and down the coast flock to the famous 5th Avenue (5ta Avenida) to find their designer outfit or unique vacation token. The only thing more plentiful than the shops and boutiques adorning the streets of Playa is the multitude of excellent restaurants and cafes, creating a gastronomic must for any Riviera Maya vacation. As for after-hours entertainment, Playa really does have it all. Sophisticated martini bars and stylish lounges afford visitors the sought after intimate atmosphere, while beach clubs and discotheques provide the wild, dance-‘til-the-sun-comes-up spots for those needing to get a little crazy. All this and more can be yours with a visit to Playa del Carmen! Since Playa is so large we recommend you also visit In The Roo and Playa.Info for more local news and information.
