March 6, 2025
If you’re looking for the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards have recognized three breathtaking Mexican beaches among the world’s top 25. Based on reviews and ratings from millions of travelers between November 30, 2023, and December 1, 2024, these award-winning destinations highlight the best of Mexico’s Caribbean and Pacific coastlines.

- Playa Delfines (Cancún, Quintana Roo) – Ranked #24


Nicknamed El Mirador, this beach is famous for its stunning turquoise views, the iconic multicolored “Cancún” sign, and a peaceful atmosphere with no beachfront hotels. It’s one of the few public beaches in Cancún, making it perfect for visitors seeking a quieter, more natural setting. Playa Delfines offers ample space to sunbathe, surf, and even spot dolphins offshore. Travelers recommend arriving early to secure a shaded spot under the palapa umbrellas available on-site.

- Playa Norte (Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo) – Ranked #19


Often regarded as one of the best beaches in the Caribbean, Playa Norte moved up from #24 to #19 in this year’s ranking. It’s known for its calm, shallow, crystal-clear waters and soft, powdery sand, making it ideal for swimming and relaxing. Visitors can enjoy stunning sunsets, go snorkeling or paddleboarding, and explore nearby beach clubs. Close to Playa Norte is La Cadenita, a reef teeming with exotic coral, adding to its appeal for divers and marine life enthusiasts. As one traveler put it, “It feels like a giant natural pool, and the locals make the experience even more enjoyable.”

- Playa Balandra (La Paz, Baja California Sur) – Ranked #21


A protected natural paradise, Playa Balandra is famous for its shallow, tranquil waters, golden sands, and the iconic mushroom-shaped rock formation. This beach is perf ect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or wading through clear tidal flats. Visitors can hike up to a scenic viewpoint for breathtaking panoramic views of the bay and surrounding landscapes.


According to TripAdvisor President Kristen Dalton, these awards capture the voices of millions of travelers, helping others plan their best trips yet. She also highlighted the diversity of this year’s winners, emphasizing that beach vacations aren’t just about sunbathing—they’re also about exploration and adventure!

Hyatt is entering the final months of 2026 with a growing collection of luxury properties across some of Mexico’s most sought-after destinations. From the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur to the Caribbean shoreline of the Riviera Maya and the cultural heart of Mexico City, the company is expanding its portfolio with distinctive properties designed around their individual settings and guest experiences. The Park Hyatt brand is at the center of this growth. Following the opening of Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol in December 2025, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya is expected to open by the end of 2026 as the brand’s first all-inclusive property worldwide. Park Hyatt Mexico City Polanco, a 155-room hotel overlooking Chapultepec Park, is expected to welcome guests in spring 2027. Together, the three properties offer very different ways to experience Mexico, from coastal escapes to an urban cultural stay. Hyatt’s expansion also includes Alila Mayakoba, which opened earlier this year within the Mayakoba complex. Set across 60 acres of beach, lagoon, and jungle, the resort combines wellness, locally inspired design, and a strong connection to the Yucatán Peninsula. Meanwhile, three new Grand Hyatt resorts—Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman, Grand Hyatt Cancun, and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos—are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, with Cancún and Los Cabos introducing all-inclusive experiences to the Grand Hyatt portfolio. For planners, this growing portfolio creates even more possibilities for designing programs around different sides of Mexico. Whether a group is looking for a sophisticated urban experience, a secluded Caribbean setting, or the landscapes and culture of Baja, Destination Mexico can help bring these new properties together with the authentic experiences, local connections, and seamless logistics that make a program truly memorable
