Riviera Maya, also known as the Mayan

Riviera, is a tourism district following

the coastal Highway 307 which

parallels the Caribbean coastline of the

Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located

on the eastern portion of the Yucatán

Peninsula. This district historically

started at the city of Playa del Carmen.

The Riviera Maya is famous for its large

scale all-inclusive resorts and a

historical tourism base of smaller

boutique hotels as well as the many

fine-dining restaurants available along

the highway 307 and on or near the

beaches. Luxury travel entities have

been instrumental in increasing luxury

villa rentals and yacht charters in the

area however these only represent a

small fraction of the total tourism

accommodation available.

The Riviera Maya is completely within

the state of Quintana Roo on the

Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The

terrain is flat and covered by low

tropical jungle. The geology is high

purity carbonates down to a depth of

0.5 - 1.5 km below the surface. Mean

annual rainfall is 1.5 m per year and

the efficient infiltration results in the

complete absence of any surface rivers.

As is common in karst, underground

river networks have formed by

dissolution.

Most tourists to the Riviera Maya arrive

through Cancún International Airport,

approximately 50 km (31 mi) north of

Playa del Carmen.A new international

airport is to be built in the near future

directly serving the Riviera Maya region.

There is debate as to which airport group

should be the owner of this tourist

destination hot spot, as it is very close to

Cancun and some feel that Aeropuertos

del Sureste ASUR should not be granted

the concession of this airport as it would

not be good for competition.

The call of the "Mexican Riviera" was

coined by Princess Cruise Line. Now

everyone refers to it as the Mexican

Riviera. The Mexican Riviera refers

collectively to twenty cities and lagoons

lying on the western coast of Mexico.

Although there are long distances

between these cities, they are often

referred to as the Mexican Riviera because

of their popularity among tourists.
