Xpu-Ha beach

Every tourist’s dream beach.

Xpu-Ha is a beautiful, unparalleled beach on the Riviera Maya where you can swim and dive in its crystal-clear waters to discover its coral reefs and the different species of fish that live there. It’s a perfect beach to swim and sunbathe… you’ll never regret visiting Xpu-Ha.

Xpu-Ha whose meaning in Maya is “estuary of two waters”, is a fascinating beach whose depth is only half a meter, where you can practice sports ranging from scuba diving to kayaking, because there’s almost no waves and the sun gives a crystalline sense. Its crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling adventure at the nearby reef patches.
