When it comes to satisfying a variety of travel styles and preferences, it’s hard to beat Mexico. Its enticingly varied array of destinations ranges from dreamy beach settings to soaring, sophisticated cities, from historic towns with colonial roots to vast expanses of unspoiled nature. Add in Mexico’s rich traditions, delicious cuisine and outstanding service, and it’s a winning combination.
There are lots of ways to plan the perfect vacation in Mexico. The first step, of course, is to choose the destination that best fits a traveler’s interests. To help, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to Mexico’s best destinations for 2025.
Cancun/Riviera Maya: These two sun-soaked destinations are the crowning jewels of the Mexican Caribbean, and they’ve long dominated Mexico’s tourism landscape, thanks in no small part to the number of flights that connect Cancun to the rest of the world (and now, the new airport in Tulum is making the southern part of the Riviera Maya easier to reach, too). Vacationers can expect pristine Caribbean beaches with silky sand and turquoise waters that are unmatched anywhere in Mexico. The region has enhanced its appeal with the 2024 completion of the Tren Maya (Maya Train), a railway that connects several states in the region.
Puerto Vallarta: Most people probably haven't a clue that the 1964 film "Night of the Iguana" first put this Pacific coast hotspot on the tourism map. But many people know this town's irresistible ability to blend Mexican charm with modern amenities. The sculpture-graced iconic Malecon waterfront promenade provides a photo-worthy backdrop for a destination known for its inclusive atmosphere, thriving culinary scene, and diverse accommodation options, both in the traditional downtown neighborhoods and in the newer outskirts of town.
Los Cabos: This in-demand destination enjoys a reputation as a premier luxury destination, with the corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo the home to some of the country's most luxurious resorts. It’s an ideal place to combine pampering with enjoying the great outdoors — sunset cruises, whale watching, Jeep tours and golfing are just a few of the ways to take in the dramatically beautiful landscape.
Mexico City: North America's largest metropolis, Mexico City, is a bustling hub of commerce, culture and tourism. Its historic center wows with centuries-old architecture as well as the remains of the pre-Hispanic city that preceded today's capital, while the range of museums — Mexico City has more than almost any city on the planet — is simply stunning. Polanco attracts the most upscale crowd for accommodations and dining, while hip neighborhoods like Condesa and Roma attract with their array of cool restaurants
