Mahahual Beach

The Costa Maya is a more remote area than the Riviera Maya, but few regret the travel time to this remote location. Mahahual has the ageless charm of the Caribbean that was thought to exist only in Jimmy Buffett songs and island tales. Bungalows, beach bars, shrimp cocktails, and lazy afternoons in the shade. Be instantly immersed into the beach lifestyle we all crave.Mahahual is the Costa Maya’s newest tourist town on the Mexican Caribbean; a cruise ship gateway to southern Quintana Roo’s little known Mayan ruins and beaches. Not so long ago, Mahahual (also spelled Majahual) was nothing more than a few beach palapas and the Mexican Navy base. The cruise ship industry and curious land tourists have provoked the fast development of the area making Mahahual the next location to check out.Mahahual is now known for its bustling beachfront, with the new seaside malecón and pedestrian walkway being the highlight. The new tourist zone located on the beach road has successfully maintained the flavor of its Mexican, Mayan and Caribbean roots.
