Perfectly poised between lush jungles and pristine beaches, Playa del Carmen offers the ideal setting for a family holiday. With world-class attractions, endless natural wonders and a vibrant culture, you'll find the perfect experiences to create lifelong memories together.

To help you plan your getaway, we’ve crafted a comprehensive family-friendly destination guide, complete with information on when to visit, where to stay and what to do in Playa del Carmen. Our list encompasses budget stays, luxury stays, and more - catering to every possible kind of family holiday.

Things to do

Playa del Carmen offers a variety of attractions, activities, and experiences designed to delight and engage visitors of all ages. Whether you prefer relaxing on picturesque beaches or exploring local museums, there’s something for every family to enjoy together.

Start by immersing yourselves in the interactive fun at the 3D Museum of Wonders, perfect for families to create unforgettable memories. Dive into Mexican culture and learn about the influential artist Frida Kahlo at the Museo Frida Kahlo Playa Del Carmen, with engaging multimedia exhibits that are equally intriguing for both adults and children.

For an out-of-this-world experience, the SAYAB Planetario de Playa del Carmen offers a chance to explore the cosmos and learn about our universe through innovative digital displays and hands-on workshops. No visit would be complete without swimming in the turquoise waters and lazing on the sandy shores of the breath-taking beaches that line the coast.

Beyond the attractions within Playa del Carmen itself, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure and exploration in the surrounding region. Make a day trip to the famous eco-parks of Xcaret or Xplor for nature experiences, fun activities, and a healthy dose of Mexican culture.

When to visit

Though Playa del Carmen is a superb year-round destination, the best time to visit for families depends on the kind of holiday you are seeking. If you desire warm temperatures with minimal rainfall, visit during the months of April and May. This will ensure you avoid both peak tourist seasons and the stormy weather that can accompany hurricane season from August to October.

If budget is a consideration, fall offers lower prices on accommodation and attractions, with the trade-off being increased humidity and the possibility of rain. Keep in mind that during school holidays, you are more likely to encounter increased visitor numbers, as well as potentially higher prices at popular family-friendly hotels and attractions.
