Mexico For Any Occasion


More Party Ideas



From freshwater sinkholes to underwater museums to UNESCO eco-reserves, Mexico is home to endless underwater adventures. Whatever your occasion, there's an aquatic attraction to make it more memorable. Don't forget the waterproof camera—you'll want to save each moment for the scrapbook—or Facebook!

Cancun Cenote – Summer Vacation
In pre-Columbian times, naturally formed sinkholes called cenotes were sacred to the Mayan people. In the modern day, some cenotes, like this one in the Riviera Maya, have been set up as swimming holes, with restroom facilities and snack concessions. Cool off after a morning at the Chichen Itza pyramids.

MUSA, Cancun – Anniversary

Pay a visit to the amazing underwater museum/sculpture installation known as MUSA. Scores of humans and undersea creatures already flock to see the 403 submerged life-sized statues dispersed through 4 areas on the ocean floor off the shore of Cancun.

Isla Mujeres – Girlfriend Getaway

Whether you and your gal-pals want to explore old legends or just relax with your toes in the sand, the Isle of Woman welcomes you. Serene and lovely Isla Mujeres once was sacred to the Mayan fertility goddess. Today, it's a favorite day trip from Cancun—particularly if you can cruise over on a charter sailboat with a reggae soundtrack.

Puerto Vallarta Dolphins – New Year's Day

During whale watching season (December through March), west coast waters welcome cetaceans of all sorts. What better way to greet the New Year than by cruising alongside these dolphins, who celebrate nearly every breath with a happy leap?

Island of Loreto – Retirement

One of the best things about retirement is that you can venture further away than people who are tied to families and Monday-through-Friday calendars. Take off for pristine areas that are only starting to welcome first waves of tourists, like Loreto Bay National Marine Park, where gray and blue whales still get close enough to let a camera capture every detail.

Danzante Island, Loreto – Retirement

The Sea of Cortez region is an official UNESCO World Heritage Site sanctuary, so life on land and in the sea flourishes. Danzante Island, pictured, is one of a few uninhabited islands 30 minutes from the new resort development at Island of Loreto. Kayak out, explore the rock formations and marvel in the teeming undersea life.

America's Cup Racing in Cabo San Lucas – Office Party

At the very southernmost tip of Baja del Sur is its most famous destination: Los Cabos. For a day of bonding, nothing beats the exhilarating America's Cup Racing adventure, pictured. A spirit of competition pervades until the race ends, at which point it's all about ice cold beers on Medano Beach.

Rocks of Los Arcos – Office Party

The great thing about Los Cabos is that it can accommodate any pace. Whether your group is Type A or ready for a nap, the best of friends or perfect strangers, there's an activity—or, in this case, a vessel, to suit. Sunset booze cruises, banana boats, fishing charters, catamarans and every other imaginable type of craft make their way past the landmark Rocks of Los Arcos.

Marina Riviera Nayarit – Father's Day

The Riviera Nayarit, just north of Puerto Vallarta on Banderas Bay, is set to compete with Los Cabos in the sailing and luxury niches particularly. To show Dad how special he is, book him a deep sea fishing or sailing charter departing from this state-of-the-art marina.

Sayulita, Riviera Nayarit – Engagement

Moments away from Mexico's bustling airports and resort developments, untouched beaches and little village gems remain. The village of Sayulita is known only to locals and a few offbeat travelers, so at sunrise or sunset, you'll have the beach mostly to yourself, except for a lone surfer and his pooch—neither of whom is likely to eavesdrop when you pop The Question.
