If you're looking for a little laidback luxury in the Caribbean, then this daytrip needs to be at the top of your to-do list. Just an hour down the coast from Cancun, you'll catch the ferry over to Cozumel Island and KUZA Beach & Adventure Park.
Your deluxe day pass to the club begins with a two-hour guided snorkelling trip at some of Mexico's most spectacular reefs. Start with the gentle shallows and colourful coral gardens of Columbia Reef, then move onto the more dramatic underwater landscapes of Palancar Reef, where the corals create a bed of tunnels and towers. Tropical fish, like parrotfish and angelfish, and even sea turtles and lobsters are often spotted around here. Then, as the El Cielito sandbar comes into view, you'll see bright red and orange starfish scattering the seabed.
Once you're back at the club, which has the largest private beachfront on the island, you can relax on the loungers, grab a cocktail and tuck into the open buffet that's bursting with bold Mexican flavours. There'll be live music and performances throughout the day to keep you entertained, plus there's a shaded kids' playground with tram rides and interactive games. But if sitting around isn't your style, your pass includes another activity of either paddle-boarding, kayaking or a second round of snorkelling. Plenty to keep you busy until you're dropped back at your hotel in the early evening.
