Only a 45 minutes drive from Cancun, Playa del Carmen is the fastest growing city in Mexico. From small unassuming fishing village and principal departure point for the neighboring island Cozumel , Playa has turned into a thriving, cosmopolitan and ever-expanding community; without a doubt, the international hub of the Riviera Maya. One of the most important tourist developments of the decade, Playa offers a wide variety of services. From large five stars hotels, to quaint ocean-front inns with an architecture that fuses both Caribbean and Mexican styles; franchise restaurants to charming European style outdoor cafes; and excellent shopping that ranges from designer labels to fine Mexican and Indonesian arts and crafts, Playa has achieved growth while maintaining its incomparable charm

The principal meeting place for locals and tourists alike is centered on the famed pedestrian street called La Quinta Avenida, which also runs parallel to the popular beach. Unlike other towns in the area, Playa's Quinta Avenida and beach are well known for their bustling nightlife with live music and parties that last until sunrise.

Playa most characteristic qualities are its spectacular beaches, multi –cultural and laid back atmosphere. Although many of its inhabitants are native to the region, a large majority of Playa's residents come from other parts of the country and abroad; giving Playa unique Mexico - International feel.
