Best luxury experiences in Cancun 2026

Get ready for the best luxury experiences in Cancun, from catamaran tours to recreational activities that promise to fulfill the expectations of the most demanding travelers visiting this Caribbean paradise.

The exclusive Cancun Sailing experience

If you are a demanding traveler, you should know that one of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of the imposing Caribbean Sea is on an all-inclusive experience aboard a luxury catamaran.

Isla Mujeres Privilege Experience

Forget about massive crossing boats. Board a private LUXURY catamaran with a limited number of passengers. You can enjoy an open bar privilege, snorkeling on vibrant reefs, and time to explore Isla Mujeres. On the way back, a relaxing evening with drinks, music, and an open bar.

One of the benefits of the Isla Mujeres Privilege Experience Tour is the ease and speed with which you can book, whether you are traveling alone or as a couple, even if you are traveling with children or seniors.

This tour lasts approximately 7 hours.

Private catamaran tour

The luxury is felt in the tranquility of the experiences you live while touring the turquoise sea. Book a catamaran sunset ride for an unforgettable experience. With champagne, gourmet canapés, and the majestic sunset that paints the Caribbean sky, it is the ideal moment for a romantic getaway.

If adventure is your thing, you can rent a private catamaran for the hours you want, at the time that best suits you and your companions, whether a large, medium, or small group, even if you prefer something more intimate to enjoy as a couple. This type of tour is ideal, personalized, and unique.

Sailing Tip: Ask for Cancun Sailing's private tours to customize your itinerary, have your own captain and host, and enjoy total privacy during all your activities. In this experience, the time is yours.

All-inclusive hotels and resorts

Staying in Cancun and the Riviera Maya is a key component of luxury. While many resorts are all-inclusive, only a few reach the level of truly premium experiences where service exceeds all expectations.
Not all hotels that claim to be all-inclusive are truly all-inclusive. Some charge exorbitant rates for basic activities within their facilities, such as pool bars and other amenities.
Look for options that really fit the type of experience you aspire to have in Cancun. While this does not mean that you have to stay at the resort or hotel for the entirety of your stay without going out, at least make sure that the time you spend there is comfortable and worthy of a luxury trip; rest on these trips is a priority.

VIP Tours and Activities in Cancun

Luxury in Cancun extends to curated experiences explicitly customized to your tastes. Your trip, your choices.

You don't have to worry about finding luxury activities in Cancun; here are some of the best VIP activities in Cancun and the Riviera Maya, where connecting and discovering are part of the experience.

Private dining on the beach

Many high-end resorts offer the option to arrange a romantic, private dinner by the sea, with a special menu and service that often includes a personal server and exclusive or personalized decorations, tailored to your preferences or requests.
We recommend this type of activity for wedding orders, romantic dinners, or for those planning an important announcement that requires a touch of exclusivity and privacy.

Costs of Luxury at Sea - Cancun Sailing & Yachts

The difference in price here lies in whether the tour is PRIVILEGE (shared but exclusive) or PRIVATE CHARTER (maximum customization).

Lodging Investment (Per Night/Room)

Luxury resorts that offer “all-inclusive gourmet” experiences or boutique service charge high rates, especially during the high season (December to May).

Activities outside the resort become luxurious when you hire the private service, which avoids endless lines and allows you to enjoy personalized attention.
