An introduction to
Mexico’s newest destination… Costa Mujeres!
What is / Where is
Costa Mujeres in Mexico?
Once a sacred region for the
Mayans, Costa Mujeres, also known as Playa Mujeres, was named as such (mujeres
means women in Spanish) due to all the imagery depicting the Goddess Ixchel.
Costa Mujeres sits across the bay on the mainland, just north of Cancun. The
beauty of Costa Mujeres is its location. This area feels calm and secluded but
is just 30 minutes away from Cancun’s bustling restaurants and nightlife and a
quick boat ride from the magical island of Isla Mujeres.
While the Riviera Maya is the
stretch of beach south of the Cancun Hotel Zone, the Costa Mujeres is the
stretch of beach north of the Cancun Hotel Zone.
How do I get to the
Costa Mujeres?
To get to the Costa Mujeres you
will fly into Cancun International Airport (CUN) and then take a quick van/bus
transfer to your resort in the Costa Mujeres. Non-stop flights to Cancun (CUN)
are available from many airports throughout the United States.

Where to stay?
Brand-new all-inclusive resorts
catering to adults, families, and groups line the region’s practically
untouched white sandy shores. Costa Mujeres’ hotels sit on prime real estate
with sweeping views of the turquoise-hued water. Here visitors can indulge in
the cuisine of quality restaurants and a wide variety of amenities like spas,
pools, water parks, and watersports. Travelers don’t have to go too far to find

staying in suites sporting oceanfront terraces with personal jacuzzis and
hammocks.
