Family holidays Cancun

For an unforgettable break in the sun, chose Cancun for your family holiday. The perfect places for a family day on the beach are the north-facing beaches of Cancun, including Playa Langosta and Playa Caracol. Their soft, white sands, together with the crystal-clear sea, will ensure a great day out. Top attractions include the national marine park (El Garrafon) and the turtle farm on Isla Mujeres (The Isle of Women). Another great place to go with your family is the Wet 'n' Wild water park, where you can play on rides and swim with dolphins and sea lions.

The best place for a great shopping spree is La Isla, where you will find all of the best souvenir shops, as well as many restaurants with great levels of affordability and entertainment, with activities such as the Interactive Aquarium, which children simply love.

For something more authentic, head for Market 28 on Sunyaxchen and Tankah, which is a favourite shopping destination amongst locals. You can buy some great souvenirs from the stalls, along with clothes and CDs. The ideal places to visit to gain an insight into the local culture are the museums near the convention centre. And even more remarkable is the display at Chichen Itza, which is one of the largest and best-preserved Mayan sites.

With its mix of world-class resort hotels, fine beaches, excellent facilities, and fascinating cultural history, it is easy to see why Cancun is chosen for the perfect family holiday again and again.
