For a refreshing “break” from all your holiday-making, celebrate the time-honoured tradition of siesta with a snooze in fab Cozumel accommodation.

Things to Do in Cozumel

Kick things off in San Miguel—the biggest city on the island—with the Cozumel Museum, home to historic artefacts and an art collection in the breezy downtown area. If you wanna turn up the adrenaline levels, check out San Miguel’s Ecoparque Cuzam. Forget roller-coasters. This is a tropical amusement park where nature is the wild ride. Hold on tight as you go zip lining and horseback riding through the tropics.

Next, amble north to the San Gervasio ruins in the centre of Cozumel. Historians believe this is the site of an ancient temple to the Mayan moon goddess, Ix Chel, who blessed women with fertility…that’s a fun souvenir.

Farther down the coast, dive at Chankanaab Marine Park to visit with dolphins and swim to the famous sunken statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Come sunset, refuel with amazing Mexican seafood—fish tacos and savoury barbecue prawns, anyone?
