Things to see and do in Akumal

Akumal may be small, but there are still a few areas to explore, most notably the downtown area; here you can pick up all your holiday essentials, grab a lunchtime taco or buy some souvenirs.

The main draw for visitors is the beach and Akumal has several including Central Akumal beach, where you’ll find most of the facilities - The beautiful white sands are bordered by beach bars, shops, restaurants and dive shops. Another beach option is North Akumal Beach, close to the popular Yalk-Ku Lagoon, which is an ideal place for kids to swim due to its shallow and protected waters (be sure to bring snorkelling gear to catch sight of some of the local turtles!).

A way to see the local wildlife is by joining a Turtle Night Watch, which is part of a conservation project. If you’re a scuba diver, you’ll want to try some of the dives in the area, as the sea life here is incredible.

Top attractions

Perhaps the most well-known attraction in the area is the historic site of the Tulum Mayan Ruins, once part of the ancient walled city of the Mayas, Chichen Itza; considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

The Yucatán Peninsula is largely known for its stunning natural landscapes, such as the Yal-Ku Lagoon. The lagoon, a mix of salt and freshwater, is home to some fantastically colourful fish, so it’s perfect for snorkelling. The site also has some great facilities, from showers to restaurants. Another amazing site is the underground lake Aktun Chen, filled with stalactites and stalagmites, where you can swim or even dive in the caves.

Best restaurants

La Buena Vida is a beach restaurant that serves excellent fish tacos, ideal for hungry holidaymakers who’ve been swimming and exploring the area. Another option that’s good for lunch is Turtle Bay Cafe and Bakery, where you’ll find a mix of local and international cuisine. Finally, Lol-Ha Restaurant and Snack Bar, one of the most popular eateries in the area, serves up tasty, generous portions and is open all day long.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
