Discover Cancun
When you book your flights to Cancun, you'll find a city designed with beach life in mind – and with good reason. These are some pretty special beaches. The glittering Caribbean Sea and mile upon mile of pristine white sand make Cancun the ultimate destination to relax by day and party by night.
While it boasts all the comforts of a modern Mexican beach holiday, Cancun is also surrounded by history. And if the mystery of the Mayan ruins doesn’t tempt you from your sun bed, the diving, golf and high-end designer shopping just might.
Book your ticket from London Heathrow (LHR) and find out everything this beautiful island has to offer.
Explore Cancun
Beautiful ruins
Archaeology buffs will want to check out the Yucatan Peninsula. It's within easy travelling distance and made for exploring palaces, pyramids and numerous other historical sites. For something different, Cancun's underwater museum should definitely be on your list of things to see.
Underwater world
The memory of seeing sharks, sting rays and dolphins glide through the water will last much longer than your tan. Luckily for us, these sharks are known as the gentle giants of the ocean.
Make a splash
For total escapism, hike or swim in complete silence through Rio Secreto’s incredible underground river system. Don’t forget to marvel at the huge stalactites and stalagmites along the way. There are great scuba diving spots too.
Explore on horseback
There are plenty of family-friendly activities in Cancun to keep kids entertained. Take a horse riding trip where you'll follow a gentle trail as it winds through the jungle, ending up at the beautiful shoreline.
