Why you should visit Mexico

For traditional foods and elaborate festivities, there is no better place to visit than Mexico. Home to roughly 130 million people, Mexico welcomed over 36 million tourists in 2023, so if it’s good enough for that many people, imagine how enjoyable it’ll be for your next holiday. And if you time your trip to experience the Cinco de Mayo celebrations, you’ll be left wondering why you’ve never done this before (especially if you spend the day in the city of Puebla). Cinco de Mayo, Holy Week, San Marcos National Fair, and Dia del Trabajo are all celebrated at similar times, so visiting in these months will ensure you always have an excuse to sip a margarita or two. Mexico isn’t just a big party though, as it is also home to some impressive attractions, especially in the capital Mexico City. Visit Chichen Itza, the Chapultepec Castle, or the Catedral Metropolitana to get your culture-fix, before finding a local bar or restaurant to end the day in style.

Mexico offers a diverse range of vacation rentals that cater to every kind of travel. From the stunning beaches of Playa del Carmen and Tulum to the vibrant nightlife of Cancun and the charming streets of San Miguel de Allende, there's something for everyone. Whether you're seeking a luxurious villa, a cozy condo, or a unique boutique hotel, Mexico's vacation rentals promise unforgettable experiences.

The best places to stay in Mexico

Tulum is a unique destination where pre-Hispanic ruins sit atop cliffs overlooking the turquoise sea of Paradise Beach. This town is not just about its stunning white beaches; it is also the gateway to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, which features coral reefs, jungle, mangroves, and cenotes. This makes Tulum an excellent spot for ecotourism.

Mexico city is a vibrant hub of culture and history, its museums and top restaurants spread across large districts that are different enough that each feels like its own vacation destination. The city encompasses 21 million inhabitants stretched across an area of 573 square miles. In each area, you’ll find sprawling shopping centres, museums and old-world streets.

Oaxaca is laid-back and vibrant, Oaxaca captures the heart of southern Mexican charm. This UNESCO World Heritage Site buzzes with lively festivals, tantalizes with delectable cuisine, and enchants with unique cultural gems. Don’t miss the majestic Macedonio Alcala Theatre, and take a short drive to marvel at the awe-inspiring rock formations of Hierve el Agua.
