Alluring Akumal

For Canadians trying to escape frigid winters, one Mayan Riviera resort should be top of mind. The Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal overlooks the coral-filled shores of Akumal, or Place of the Turtles, one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most renowned resort areas. Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal is a 90-minute drive from Cancun International Airport and just 10 minutes away from the action-packed town of Akumal, but don’t let its location fool you—there are plenty of quiet corners to relax and unwind in within this behemoth compound. From myriad restaurant and bar choices to an abundance of activities (and sun chairs) for the whole family, Transat’s all-inclusive packages to Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal offer Canadians a complete escape from the everyday.

A vacation at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal begins at the brightly coloured Hacienda Dona Isabel. This entertainment and commercial village is enjoyed by all guests of the Bahia Principe compound—consisting of the Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal and its sister properties Bahia Principe Tulum, Bahia Principe Grand Coba and Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an. Guests of Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal can enjoy the offerings across the four resorts with a mammoth property that encompasses a large stretch of beach, lots of pools and a wide variety of activities. This four-in-one access means an all-inclusive trip to Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal really does include everything you could want on your holiday.

When it comes to resort stays, the hardest choice you’ll have to make is whether you spend the day lying on the beach or lounging by the pool. Luckily both the beach and pools at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal are first-class, and so are those at the adjoining resorts. Even though the oceanfront Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal is the smallest of the four Bahia properties, it has the biggest portion of the white sand beach, with plenty of palapas to luxuriate under. Pool lovers have three different pool areas to choose from: the huge main pool with music pumping, the smaller beachfront pool and the Infinity pool, which is adults-only.

Four resorts means four times the fun

Beachy keen

Guests at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal can expect all the activities and all-inclusive amenities of a high-end resort. All dining and drinking are included, so grab a handcrafted cocktail or cold beer from one of the eight bars, or enjoy a family meal at one of the seven restaurants. Activities, exercise options and entertainment also abound—and of course, there’s also free Wi-Fi.

Just kidding

Though the relaxed atmosphere of Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal is geared towards couples—take the 18-plus pool, for example—the adjacent resorts offer plenty of fun for younger travellers. The Bahia Scouts Kids Clubs present a colourful, fun escape for the kids (and a break for the parents), while the waterslides at the water park at Bahia Principe Grand Coba will make anyone squeal with glee.

There is no age limit on vacationing

There’s something for every type of vacationer at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal, whether you’re in search of a party or a relaxing escape. Break it down with the whole family at the silent disco, tee off with the in-laws on the nearby golf course, PGA Riviera Maya, or sample tequila at a tasting with your spouse.

A la carte's content

For easy meals and countless options, get a taste of Mexico and the world at the YUM Restaurant, the international cuisine buffet, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But don’t miss the chance to indulge in one of the many a la carte dining options. Enjoy a taste of modern Mayan cuisine at the newly renovated and reimagined Gourmet KU’UK Restaurant, where you’ll find dishes like Huitlacoche creamy soup with lemongrass foam or Escalivada de Milpa with vegetables. Dolce Vita serves up Italian favourites while Frutos del Mar offers seafood classics. Plus, both the Tikalito Pool Restaurant and Katok Beach Restaurant were refurbished in 2023, meaning snack time is better than ever.

Taste the world throughout the resort

Dining is unlimited at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal, and the choices really do feel endless. In addition to the seven dining experiences at Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal, guests have access to the a la carte restaurants at neighbouring Bahia Principe Tulum, Bahia Principe Grand Coba and Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka'an. You’ll have 24 restaurants to choose from, with cuisine options from Japanese and Peruvian to Brazilian and Mexican.
