Where does this data come from?
Weather data for Palmanova was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in May (e.g., May 1, May 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

PALMA NOVA CLIMATE AND RESORT OVERVIEW
PALMA NOVA TOURIST INFO
Located on the south-west coast of the Balearic Islands, Palma Nova is the perfect getaway regardless of your age. Quieter than its larger than life neighbour, Magaluf, Palma Nova still manages to keep things entertaining whilst providing a tranquil environment for the whole family to relax and unwind.
One of the first purpose built resorts of its kind on the Balearics, this resort caters for families, couples and part-goers alike. With Magaluf and Santa Ponsa nearby, tourists won’t be stuck for choice in Palma Nova.
So if you are considering booking a holiday in the Balearic Islands, have a look at this unique climate profile for Palma Nova, which displays all the climate information for every month of the year. You may be interested to check the current weather in Palma nova, especially if you have already booked your tickets there.
SUMMER IN PALMA NOVA
Summer is the ideal time to lie back and relax in the sun with a book in one hand and Sangria in the other. With long, golden sandy beaches, Palma Nova offers holiday makers a chance to submerge themselves in this paradise. With 3 beaches including Palma Nova beach which has a Blue Flag Award for cleanliness, you will be spoiled with beautiful views of the ocean which seems to go on forever.
With an average sea temperature of 24 degrees Celsius it won’t be too cold to take a quick swim in and with an average summer temperature in Palma Nova of 30 degrees Celsius it will provide a welcomed break from the heat.
At this time of year, the Nightlife is much more laid back than its riotous neighbor Magaluf but don’t be fooled by its quiet exterior as there is more to it than meets the eye. Mainly consisting of bars and restaurants all ages will be able to enjoy Palma Nova’s nightlife. Such places include Reflex which is an 80’s styled bar which plays the defining songs of that era, so get your leg warmers and head band out because it’s time to dance. If you don’t want the party to stop there then you can easily head into Magaluf and dance the night away.
SPRING IN PALMA NOVA
Spring is a much calmer time of year in Palma Nova and is ideal if you want a culture based holiday with no young people or families around. As Palma Nova enjoys a Mediterranean climate it means that the weather is more than acceptable. With an average maximum temperature of 21 degrees Celsius in the spring months it would be a good time to go if you can’t handle the blistering heat during the summer season.
Usually, the resort is an excellent place for older couple’s enjoying their retirement years, However, with an average sea temperature of 17 degrees Celsius it might not be the wisest choice to go for a swim, unless you can handle the bracing temperatures.
One of the most popular sites in these parts is “Santa Maria Cathedral” which is just 15 minutes away from Palma Nova. The stunning gothic cathedral there took over 400 years to build. With views which look onto the Mediterranean Sea, this magnificent piece of architectural genius will be a memory which you will keep with you for many years to come.
WINTER IN PALMA NOVA
As winters can be mild in Palma Nova with an average maximum temperature of 16 degrees Celsius you may want to bring a few extra layers in your suitcase. However, it is still a good place to go if you want to have a quiet holiday. This is because the clubs and pubs which would have been blaring music into the small hours of the morning have closed for the season and revelers returned home. They do however open at the weekend so there is still the option for you to throw some shapes on the dance floor if you choose too.
A good way to escape the colder temperatures is by soaking up the culture and with the large summer crowds no longer here, it means you can do so without the stampeding crowds. The Spanish Contemporary Art Museum located 20 minutes from Palma Nova in Plama City Centre plays host to works by some of the most well known Spanish painters. Such painters include Salvador Dali and Joan Miro and the museum is also well known for its Picasso collection.
AUTUMN IN PALMA NOVA
This season combines the best of the summer with the rain. With an average maximum temperature in Autumn in Palma Nova of 24 degrees Celsius you can still enjoy the same summer festivities and head to the beach for the day. However, be warned as it can get wet with an average rainfall in of 59 mm (2 inches) so make sure to bring your waterproofs so you don’t fall victim to the rain.
One activity which low temperatures do not preclude is eating and in Palma Nova foodies are in for a treat. Abracadabra is a popular pizzeria which serves a large selection of pizza toppings. Situated right across the beach you can sit outside and admire the view of the med and watch the sun set, just remember to bring a jumper with you.

“Fast, comfortable, convenient!”
Traveled in the Canary Islands for the first time by ferry! Very convenient booking system, but do not take your passport far away before boarding. Polite staff, they caught me downstairs with a suitcase and showed me where I can leave it so as not to drag it upstairs (I remember on the ferry in Italy we lifted heavy suitcases upstairs). From the port you can easily take in any direction (both in Tenerife and La Gomera). The trip was comfortable and fast! Thanks Fred Olsen!

- The main procession – a well-dressed and cheerful crowd, to the sound of music, passes through the main streets of the city. The procession ends with fireworks.
- Burial of the sardine – a symbolic farewell to the carnival. A funeral procession follows the city, mourning a giant cardboard sardine made by the hands of the prisoners of the local prison. Then the fish is solemnly burned in the central square.

Moscow, Russia You can rent chairs and deck chairs in the nearby so-called. beach clubs. Prices vary, but basically all locals use their own towels or mats. The beach is in good condition, it is cleaned quite often. The sand is gray, volcanic, so do not confuse it with dirty. The entrance to the water is quite decent, but I would recommend to buy slippers. Despite the fact that there are various chiringuitos and bars every hundred meters along the coast, most visitors bring their own drinks and food, arranging a kind of picnic. The only request is to clean up after yourself. Urns at every turn. The beach is very big, there is enough space for everyone!

Gorgeous views and huge bumps
Worth the climb! Great views of the Costa del Sol! From the parking lot to the observation deck, 380 meters on foot over the stones. But going is easy. The air is saturated with pines. Along the way, you can pick up huge cones. The observation deck is quite windy and noticeably cooler. There are also hiking trails to other viewpoints 1 km and 1.5 km from the parking lot.

City of Estepona, Spain: history
According to ancient myths, once in these places there was a ritual sanctuary of the Celtic goddess Epona (Celtic Epona, from epos “horse”), the patroness of horse breeding. The cult of the beautiful protector of ponies, mules, donkeys and horses, who was also considered the goddess of fertility, was adopted from the Celtic tribes and spread throughout Europe by the ancient Romans.
In different historical periods, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs lived on the territory of Estepona, as well as almost on the entire Malaga coast.
In the IX-VII centuries. BC. The Phoenicians arrived here and founded a colony. They managed to mix with the locals and unite scattered communities into a common settlement. The Phoenicians established trade and laid the foundation for the development of the economy of these places. Crafts began to develop in Estepona, incl. glass production.
At the end of the 3rd century B.C. there were several wars between the Carthaginians and the Romans, which led to the fact that the Iberian Peninsula passed to Rome. The city acquired strategic importance and began to grow.
Later, the Iberian Peninsula was captured by the Moors, and during the reign of Caliph Abderraman II (Abderramán Segundo) a fortress was erected here called Estebunna (Estebunna) – this is how the city got its name.
VIII – XVI centuries passed under the sign of the Reconquista – the war of liberation between the Pyrenean Christians and Muslim invaders. Such an 800-year-old confrontation between the peoples that took place in Spain became one of the most impressive in history, due to the duration of the reconquest of these lands.
In 1456, King Enrique IV of Castile freed Estepona from the Muslims. The city fortress was destroyed, and the land was annexed to neighboring Marbella. A new fortress was erected in Estepona – the castle of San Luis, which was used until the 19th century, but then gradually fell into a state of decline.
Attractions Estepona
There are few architectural attractions in the city, among them it is worth noting such as
- Clock tower (la Torre del Reloj). In the 16th century, a church was originally built here, of which only this tower has survived today.
- Church of Our Lady of Remedios (la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios), dating from the 18th century, in the past acted as a Franciscan monastery.
- Ancient mansions of noble families in the old part of the city – the house of the Marquis of Mondejar or Borrega, the buildings belong to the buildings of the 17th – 18th centuries.
- The chapel of San Isidro (la ermita de San Isidro) was named after the patron saint of the city. Around is the municipal park of Los Pedregales (el Parque Municipal de Los Pedregales).
City of Estepona: holidays and traditions
Estepona cherishes ancient traditions, and holidays here are an integral part of the original Andalusian culture. On the local holiday of San Isidro Labrador, for example, a livestock fair and an exhibition of agricultural machinery are held, and local farmers offer their rich harvest of not only citrus fruits, but also tropical fruits.
In the middle of July, a bright fiesta takes place in Estepona – la Virgen del Carmen, celebrating the love of fishermen for the Sea Maiden, whom the inhabitants thank for her protection and patronage. And this gratitude is fully justified: in the restaurants of Estepona you can always try dishes prepared from fresh sea catch, sardines, sea bass and mullet are especially good.
Estepona: infrastructure and entertainment
Estepona is distinguished by the unique flavor of the Andalusian fishing village with its snow-white houses and balconies entwined with lush flowers – this is how almost the entire center of the Old Town looks like with its famous square of flowers – Plaza de las Flores de Estepona. But do not forget that this small town is a developed tourist center with all the necessary infrastructure, including golf courses, luxury hotels, gourmet restaurants and exclusive urbanizations.

Estepona Old Town
Estepona Old Town – Historic Center (Centro Historico de Estepona) is characterized by narrow pedestrian streets and cozy white houses with flowering balconies, as well as beautiful open squares.

In the Barrio de la Villa quarter, located in the oldest part, there are the main historical monuments of the city: the Castle of San Luis, the Moorish tower in the Clock Square and the House of the Waters (la Casa de los Aljibes) with the Archaeological Museum.
El Barrio Antiguo is a neighborhood with narrow streets parallel to the coast lined with one or two storey houses. Nearby, in the de Hornos district, architecture from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries dominates. In the north are the quarters of San Francisco, Plaza Nueva and Montecillo (San Francisco, Plaza Nueva and Montecillo), in which many buildings of the 19th century have been preserved.
New Golden Mile Costa del Sol
Perhaps one of Estepona’s most desirable and prestigious neighborhoods, stretching seven kilometers between Estepona and the port area of Puerto Banus.
Ranked among the most exclusive areas of Malaga’s coastline, this golden strip is home to many luxurious urbanizations, both for permanent residence and for seasonal holidays.

- El Campanario – near the beach, with its own golf course;
- Benamara, consisting of apartment complexes and townhouses along the beach line;
- Cabo Bermejo – a luxurious residential complex with apartments and penthouses in the Andalusian style;
- El Paraíso – Residential complex with a golf course, apartments, townhouses and expensive villas.
Port of Estepona
Zona del puerto, the port area, is one of the best areas. It is located 1.5 kilometers east of the historic center, between the beaches of La Rada, the most popular in the city, and Del Cristo. In this part of the city, the residential complexes Seghers and Altos de Guadalobón stand out.
New housing in this area is represented mainly by apartments and penthouses. Developed urban infrastructure: supermarkets, schools, mini-markets, as well as many bars, restaurants and nightclubs, typical of a resort town. In addition, here is the administrative center of the city and the town hall of Estepona (Ayuntamiento de Estepona).

Estepona: the old clock is still running. Spain in Russian
For minutes and seconds, time is laid out by those who are burdened with a load of worries. Happy people don’t watch the clock. In Estepona, located south of all the other resort towns in the province of Malaga, chronos have long been compared by the sun. On the tower, built in 1473 on the site of a destroyed Muslim mosque, the “dial” with the rays-arrows was located on the south side.
The south of Estepona is a gentle sea, clean sand, giving way to fertile valleys cut here and there by small streams, which, however, no one is accustomed to take seriously until the rainy season comes.
The rainy season on the Costa del Sol does not last long enough to evoke thoughts of a dull time, which, however, can also charm the poet if he comes from more northern latitudes. The local nature is calm almost all year round. The port of Estepona has more than once had to serve as a shelter for ships during sea storms. Perhaps only one blow of the elements remained in the tablets of history, which hit the coast of a cozy town with all the might of unbridled force.
The epicenter of the 1755 earthquake was not here, but somewhere in the Lisbon area. The wave that echoed to the Mediterranean coast of Spain destroyed many settlements, including Estepona. Turned into ruins Tower, the keeper of time. Residents did not want to come to terms with the loss of one of the main city attractions and decided to restore it. However, in the process of perestroika, the sundial was replaced with mechanical ones, and they began to set the pace of life in a new way.
Of course, it would never occur to any of the curious tourists today to visit the Tower just to inquire about the accuracy of the passage of time. The 22-meter building, executed with nobility, alien to frills, is a kind of symbol of the city. He, as architects like to say, is the dominant feature of its old part.
In order to get to the quarter where the magnificent Virgen de los Remedios church is adjacent to the Tower, you need to climb from the noisy modern highway connecting Estepona with major cities (and with the capital, located at a distance of 630 kilometers, too) through quiet streets covered with cobblestone pavement.
In some places it is arranged according to the principle of flower mosaic. But this is only at the branching of the streets, most of which are rather narrow, with two rows of pure whitewashed houses covered with red tiled roofs. The real “patterns” can be seen on the windows, balconies and at the very door. Woven from the bright multi-colored lobelia, geranium, hydrangea, they once again remind you that Andalusia is the land of irrepressible temperament.
It’s not without reason that Estepona was famous for its knightly duels and bullfights. The large square where they passed has now been turned – well, of course – into the Flower Square! It continues to attract citizens and tourists with its lively colors and fragrance.
The latter in their reviews, of course, will not fail to notice that Estepona is remembered not only by street flora, but also by the botanical park and especially the orchidarium, where, on two levels, on an area of more than a thousand square meters in total, amazing plants are located, capable of capturing the imagination of any avid grower.
Plantings of orchids had to be covered with a glass dome. And this despite the fact that the average annual temperature in Estepona tends to plus 17 degrees Celsius, and the number of sunny days per year is close to three hundred. Here, citrus fruits and vegetables grow in abundance in the local open spaces without additional hassle in the form of additional heating and additional lighting. And sweet figs have even become a kind of hallmark of the municipality in the domestic market of the country.
It is clear that a person feels quite comfortable in such conditions. The heat here is mitigated by the sea, along the coast of which a series of cozy beaches stretches along the entire length of the city, adjacent to comfortable hotels. Not far from Estepona there is a fir forest, which gives coolness even during the midday heat.
Indeed, creating such a corner, the Creator worked especially hard. The only trouble is that this tidbit has always attracted the attention of all sorts of conquerors. In the past centuries, Estepona was trying to conquer either the troops of the Holy Roman Empire, or the Crusaders, or the Moors. Not without reason, a whole chain of watchtowers was built to protect the coastline. They have been preserved in some places, as well as the remains of the former defensive structures – Nishio Castle and San Luis Castle.
Today Estepona is open to everyone. It can be reached by land and sea. For the convenience of visitors, there are hotels, restaurants and small street cafes. Among the local dishes, you are strongly advised to try “pescaíto frito”, small fried fish, tapas and polvorones, a special type of biscuit that is said to be able to crumble with a single breath.
Holidays with children are especially popular in Estepona. Little fidgets always have something to do here. Playgrounds, excursions to the Selvo Aventura zoo, pony rides and sea trips will leave a lot of impressions. And maybe in the future they will want to return to this city, where time is measured by leisurely clocks on the old Tower, making them actually forget that there are still minutes and seconds. Symbols of vanity, often leading to a worthless result.

Review “Canyon Red rock”
RED ROCK CANYON 9000 9 Meet me at the border,
Garnet red mountains,
Where even a bird finds it difficult to live,As if in sunset ash
Stones are now frozen,
Became Red Rock Canyon on earth
Part of the Mojave Desert.The rocks under the sky were resurrected.
You’ll add speed in the road,
You can get there, oh, if you leave the Las Vegas Strip,The towers of huge hotels,
Where the lights and the casino.
A sharp contrast of watercolors,
In which wine sparkles.Washing away the transience of the paint,
Yucca – an everyday story,
To read life’s fairy tale
Or an Indian petroglyph.Suddenly among the desert dawn
Get up from the boar’s cry
From Hoover next to the dam.
Just look for peace,If not a timid warehouse,
Then on the border of the shelter
There Arizona, Nevada,
Where is California, Utah.Published May 27, 2019

The most central street in Las Vegas, one must live and walk along it. Here are hotels that repeat the sights of the main cities of the world. There are many restaurants, cafes, shopping centers. It is more convenient to drive it all by bus.

Museum of Crime
The museum has collected a lot of detailed material about American crime over the past 100 years, including the political, sports, cinema, international and everything else. There is also about us, but so, in passing. Everything is done in the classic style of the film “Only Girls in Jazz” – bandits in velor hats and wide jackets, a lot of documents, numbers and film materials, there is an electric chair with a switch – you sit down, turn it on and the light starts flashing, very impressive. There is a souvenir shop and even a retro-style cafe for a complete immersion in the criminal atmosphere. In a word, interesting, but for our tourist a little naive. In the sense that for such a museum at home, a building of a much more impressive size would be needed.
That’s all for now, next stop is Death Valley. Scary already? Tripadvisor checks reviews. Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck August was hot, but the wind was cool! Tickets can be bought in the lobby of the Paris Hotel… we are the last to enter the elevator… we are the first to exit and immediately take a seat in front of the Hotel…. the view is good but the music is hard to hear… but for me it is the best view of Vegas…Published September 2, 2018

It is worth visiting the Bellagio Hotel just to see its beautiful botanical garden. This is not the case in other hotels in the city. Since the entrance to the Las Vegas hotel is free, any tourist who may not intend to live here or visit its casino can do this.

Playing a little drunk
We got used to playing on stage.
But the halves of us then scold,
They do not believe in this change in life.It seems to them that all this is for contrast,
That in life we are always like glass.
To lie, my friend, I see you are much,
At least count, ashamed, your years.We learned to separate life and stage,
Playing someone else’s role each time.
But only the scenery has changed,
So let me skip the check.Yes, if we have at least a couple of green ones,
We use them to make our way to the bar in the fall.
It is easy to play for drinks for us lovers,
But we keep a sense of duty to drink.Take at least an example now from the revelers,
Ogarochek is always for his happiness.
There is little left in him from the bully,
Having believed in the holy in communion.Wait, friend, don’t pester the guests,
They want to watch us and the show.
We sail among them, as if on the seas.
Are you stormy? You say “soberly”: “No”.Oh, what a short muse for a poet,
I silently asked you with my eyes.
We, the society of guardians and light,
Applauded watched as we hall.And yet, this is only self-conceit,
An amusing number passed by the artist.
The girl cheered everyone up,..
Send the bouquet to the pianist as soon as possible……I’ll say: “What do you want?”, – wondering,
In his mind, it seems, a thunderstorm.
Without pretending to the faithful:

9000 LAS VEGAS (LAS ) is one of the most famous cities in the United States and is located in southern Nevada in the hot and ruthless Mojave Desert. And like a mirage, he beckons all lovers of adventure, excitement and fun into his arms. It is no coincidence that the city has declared itself the World Entertainment Capital.

How to see the sights near Las Vegas
- If you don’t party all night long in Las Vegas, there is time in the morning and afternoon to fill up with a trip to nearby attractions. For example, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Floyd Lamb Park, Spring Mountain Ranch State Park and Mount Charleston.
- If you have timed Las Vegas for shows, casino games, and partying, and have days planned for natural sightseeing outside the city, then head to Death Valley, the ghost town of Rhyolite, or the West Rim of the Grand canyon.
- Some attractions are located outside of Nevada, but not that far from Las Vegas. You can go on a short trip for a few days. We are talking about the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, as well as the Zion and Bryce National Parks in Utah.
Tip . If you are going to visit all the sights described, and especially 4 national parks – the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Bryce, Zion – and national recreation areas – Lake Mead and Red Rock Canyon – then it makes sense to buy an annual America the beautiful subscription to all US national parks . Such a subscription costs $80 and is purchased for a car. It is usually beneficial if there are plans to visit more than 4 national parks.
Where to go from Las Vegas for half a day
All of the sights within half an hour to an hour of Las Vegas are best visited in the morning and afternoon when the bustling city is asleep. This is a time saver if Vegas is part of your California route or the US Southwest.
Please note that some of the natural wonders are located next to each other and are easier to visit at the same time. For example, a trip to Red Rock Canyon can be combined with a visit to the Spring Mountain Ranch and the Bonnie Spring Ranch, first marveling at the beautiful sandstone landscapes, and then relaxing on the ranch lake and visiting the stylized Wild West.

Located at an altitude of 2400-2700 meters in Southern Utah northeast of Sin City, it offers unforgettable views of the finest and most graceful spiers, hoods and arches of bright red, gold and white. All this is combined in an unearthly ensemble, sometimes turning into entire amphitheaters. Nature has done a great job here! Especially beautiful stone patterns look framed by a green forest and blue sky. It is especially chic to see Bryce in winter, when the red stone castles are covered with snow.
A scenic 30 km long road with observation decks and trails runs through the park. Sunrise is best seen at Sunrise Point and Sunset Point, as they both face east. In summer, you can ride a shuttle through the park, which stops at each of the observation decks.

- Luxury Hotels: The Italian-themed Bellagio, easily recognizable by the lake and dancing fountain show in front of the resort, and the Venetian, recreated complex in Venice, which features a canal and gondolas, are luxury resort hotels in prime locations along the Strip. Caesars Palace, also with a great location along The Strip, is a longtime Vegas classic and is home to the famous Colosseum entertainment center. All of these resorts have great pools, on-site shopping and entertainment.
- Mid-Range Hotels – At the northern end of The Strip is Treasure Island, with a beautiful pool and good location within walking distance of the main attractions. This is an upper mid-range option that is often reasonably priced. Also in this category is the resort of Monte Carlo. This is a quality hotel in a great location that also often offers reasonable rates. The Hilton Grand Vacations Suites on the Las Vegas Strip is another quality hotel, but it is too far north to walk to the main section of The Strip.
- Cheap Hotels: The Excalibur is a formerly grand but now somewhat dated hotel that often offers good deals. It has a beautiful pool and a great location on the south end of The Strip, near New York, NY. Bridge 6. This is a basic motel with a pool and a great location. Across from Excalibur Street, but not far from the Strip on Tropicana Avenue, is a motel. The Travelodge Las Vegas Center Strip is another decent budget option, with a good central location next to The Strip.
- Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam : Two of the biggest attractions in the Las Vegas area are these two fantastic places, one natural and the other artificial. Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam Day Travel from Las Vegas takes visitors, by bus, to the Grand Canyon West Rim for three hours of free time. This allows a lot of time to walk along the rim and look out from the viewing areas. Also included is a short stop at the Hoover Dam. Add a helicopter ride and a boat ride, or take a Grand Canyon Skywalk tour for added extras.
- Red Canyon : Take a four or six hour Red Canyon tour to see some of the spectacular red rock scenery and view the desert and mountains. This tour offers hotel pickup and drop-off, a canyon tour along a 13-mile scenic beltway with stops at lookout points for the best views, and a boxed lunch.
- Hiking and camping: There are excellent hiking trails in the surrounding deserts and mountains. For some unique experiences, see our articles on the best hiking trails in Valley of Fire State Park and the best hikes near Las Vegas. If you’re interested in spending a night or two under the stars and you haven’t brought your own camping gear, you might want to consider a fabulous 3-day, 2-day camping tour from Las Vegas to Zion, Bryce Canyon, the Valley Monument, and the Grand Canyon . This fully escorted trekking trip takes you to the top attractions of the Southwest and includes jeep rides and the option of a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon. If you have your own camping equipment and are trying to find the best places to set up a camp, see our list of the best campsites near Las Vegas.

- The resort is beautiful, well cared for, and fairly sprawling. People clearly love it and come back over and over. It definitely caters to couples, and seems like 50% of the doors had happy anniversary or honeymoon banners on them. But you saw some friend groups and (adult) families too.
- There are 7 different pools (3 dedicated to Excellence Club) and they’re lovely. The beach is underwhelming, not the best in the area…if you’re really wanting an amazing beach, go further south.
- My room was lovely, pretty large, and comfortable, as well as impeccably clean. I appreciated that they had decent seating on the balcony too. I stayed in an Excellence Club Junior Suite Ocean View.
- The food was a little uneven…had some great individual dishes but quite a few average ones too. It always *looks* beautiful, but they didn’t always taste as good.
- I didn’t have a chance to try out the spa, but it gets good reviews.
- EPM has quite a lot of different activities, depending on what you want. The evening live music and shows are great, and there’s stuff during the day. If you want to try out one of their mixology classes or similar, make sure to book a few days (or more) ahead. And if you’re looking to do excursions they are able to set those up.

ALL about the paradise ISLAND OF WOMEN😉 MEXICO. CANCUN😍 DISCOVERED on Isla Mujeres 🌴
A detailed guide to Isla Mujeres
Isla Cancun, Mexico is a tiny, beautiful, sleepy island located off the coast. Its bright blue waters, coral reefs, sugar sand beaches, gently swaying palm trees, migratory whale sharks, Mayan ruins, and giant iguanas that sometimes walk on your foot when you’re not looking (okay, scratch the last one) make it one of of the best places on the Riviera Maya.
If you’re looking for all the things that make Cancun great without… well, all the things that make Cancun terrible (okay, we all know what I mean, right?) Isla Mujeres is a much quieter and sleepier way enjoy your holiday in the Yucatan.
In our huge, very long guide to Isla Mujeres, we will lay out everything you need to know about how to get to Isla Mujeres from Cancun, where to stay. We found that visiting Isla Mujeres is quite possible on a budget, so we’ve included a lot of inexpensive tips.
Read on for what to do in Isla Mujeres!
HOW TO GET TO ISLA MUJERES
Getting to Isla Mujeres is quite easy: just take the Isla Mujeres ferry from Cancun. However, there is one important task here: to get from the Cancun airport to the ferry pier.
HOW TO GET TO THE ISLA MUJERES FERRY FROM CANCUN AIRPORT
So, the easiest way to get to the Puerto Juarez Ferry Pier from Cancun Airport is to take a taxi. There are a lot of them at the airport, so it’s very easy. Jump in, say something like “Gran Puerto por Favor” or “Vamos a Isla Mujeres” or “Ultramar para Isla Mujeres por Favor” and you’re good to go.
Warning: We have found that taxi prices at Cancun airport are insanely high – around $30-$50 for a 10 minute ride. Crazy! Unwise!
At the Cancun airport, look for a booth with a big red ADO sign to buy a ticket to downtown Cancun – it costs about $5 per person.
Reverse side? The bus runs every half an hour, so you might have to wait a bit. Also, he doesn’t drop you off at the docks – he will drop you off in the city center. You will need to take a taxi from the bus station to the ferry for another $5.
Alternatively, instead of a taxi, you can take the bus “Ruta 13” which will take you to Puerto Juarez near the ferry pier, which is cheaper but guaranteed to take longer.
Isla Mujeres travel tip: Pick up a peso at the Cancun airport before heading to Isla Mujeres. Few places on the island accept credit cards and there are very few ATMs. If needed, there is an ATM near the ferry pier, another in the Xpress supermarket. Phew, that was a lot, I know.
BY ISLA MUJERES FERRY FROM CANCUN
Once you reach the Gran Puerto Cancun ferry terminal, all you have to do is take the ferry to Isla Mujeres. We took the UltraMar ferry from Gran Puerto.
The UltraMar ferry ride takes about 15 minutes and costs about 80 pesos one way, about $6.
The first ferry to Isla Mujeres leaves Cancun at 5:00 am. Ferries run every half an hour until 20:30, then every hour until 23:30 (9:30, 10:30, 11:30).
The first ferry from Isla Mujeres to Cancun departs at 5:30 am. Ferries run every half an hour until 21:00 and then every hour until 12:00 (22:00, 23:00, 12:00).
Take a ticket at the box office – and go. The ferry is comfortable, air conditioned and in good condition.You can also take the Magana ferry from the Puerto Juarez ferry pier. This is an old ferry terminal located just a few minutes walk from Gran Puerto. The cost of Magana Ferry is the same, takes the same time as UltraMar Ferry. I think this is a good option if UltraMar is very crowded.
Travel tip: once you arrive at the ferry pier, you can take a taxi to almost anywhere in Isla Mujeres for about 30 pesos.
WHERE TO STAY IN ISLA MUJERES
We can’t afford to stay at the famous Shell House (I wish)! But there are other amazing Airbnbs on Isla Mujeres, like this gorgeous oceanfront studio with an incredible arched terrace that literally laps the Caribbean Sea. Perfect for sunset drinks! This is the ideal location on the island to take the short walk north to bars, shops and restaurants.
Or an apartment within walking distance of the action (the perfect excuse to use a golf cart!), with an oceanfront terrace. It is a bit more spacious than the studio and has a separate kitchen if you want to cook something delicious with local products.
Budget Travel Tip: Isla Mujeres also has plenty of boutique hotels! To find cheap hotel options, we recommend using a kayak to compare hotel prices in Isla Mujeres.
If you’re visiting Isla Mujeres on a budget while trying to keep your costs as low as possible – which we did – the best place to stay is Poc Na Hostel!
The hostel is located right on the beach, with many hammocks arranged for a comfortable stay. Access to the beach is the door to the hostel, it’s tucked away from the main street so it’s nice and quiet without a lot of pedestrians. The price includes breakfast, morning yoga, attentive staff who will help you book tours, as well as inexpensive hostels, private houses, campsites.
One major drawback: No air conditioning! But it doesn’t matter – just spend the heat of the day cooling off in the ocean, speeding around the city on a moped, taking a nap in a hammock in the shade, not in your room.
THE BEST ACTIVITIES IN ISLA MUJERES
Isla Mujeres is more than just great beaches and palm trees! Discover the best things to do in Isla Mujeres, from swimming with whale sharks to befriending turtles, ziplining over the ocean, snorkeling at the Underwater Museum… much more! We really want to go back.

At a depth of 18 – 20 meters its suitable for all levels of qualified divers.
Turtle Safari in Tenerife
An astounding excursion for all the family is a visit to the beautiful, protected bay of El Puertito where a few turtles have made their home. They live at a depth of 3 to 10 meters which is perfect for snorkeling. They also frequently appear right next to our boat to see us even before the snorkelers are in the water. When you are in the water they will tail you and will joyfully pose for photographs. So dont forget your camera! However the dive centre does have an excellent underwater camera which can be hired.
Night Diving in Tenerife
Night dives can be arranged as requested. Many species of marine life avoid the daytime, prefering to live and feed during the night.On the night dive there is an oportunity to see life not seen or very difficult to see during the day.

Diving in Tenerife
Tenerife (Spanish: Tenerife) is the largest island in the archipelago of the seven Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It occupies a central position relative to the islands of the archipelago and, together with the three neighboring islands of Palma, Gomera and Hierro, is part of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with its administrative center in the city of the same name.
Mount Teide rises in the center of the island (3718 m above sea level, the highest point in Spain). The last volcanic eruption in Tenerife occurred at 1909 year.
Diving in Tenerife is not yet well known, but the popularity of the island is growing every year. The waters of the Canary Islands are fraught with unprecedented riches, and sunken pirate ships, as the legends say, hid in its depths forever. The unexplored dive sites of Tenerife attract adventurers and captivate even the most sophisticated diver with their beauty. That is why diving in Tenerife seems so attractive: every dive promises to be unforgettable!
Near Tenerife there are more than three dozen interesting dive sites. Most dive sites are located on the southern and southwestern coasts of the island. The water temperature in the ocean near the southern shores is higher (22-23C in May-June), and the waves are much smaller. There is a variety of underwater animals – large inhabitants of the seas – huge stingrays, sharks, turtles. In addition to living creatures, you can admire bizarre underwater landscapes. An island of volcanic origin, lava solidified under water in the most bizarre forms and different colors – from dark shades to bright white.
For the adventurous, there are several wrecks and caves, the most interesting being Abama Cave. Entrance from the ocean, maximum depth – 8-12 meters.

Lunch wonderful world of dolls.
A magical day starts from 8.45 am to 9.15 am, when we pick you up by bus at or near the hotel.
At 09.30 we are already at the gates of Monkey Park, where lemurs are eagerly waiting for us. They are avid for grapes and figs, and you have the opportunity to take dozens of photos of how these cute little animals sit on your arms or shoulder. In Monkey Park we will see other monkeys and creatures, we will wake up there for one hour in total.
Leaving the Monkey Park, we move along the highway to La Orotava (about 1 hour), or rather to the next park, which is Pueblo Chico or the so-called. miniature park. Having seen enough of how lemurs feast, most likely we are hungry, so lunch is waiting for us: Tapas
Main course – in Canarian marinade grilled meat on skewers
Shriveled potatoes (Papas Arrugadas) with gravy MOJO
Vanilla ice cream
Water, red wine, rolls
Children’s menu also includes chicken on skewers, as well as sweets in addition to ice cream.
After lunch, we will make a circle around Tenerife in just an hour, those who wish (starting from 10 years old) can rush along the funicular through miniature Tenerife (for an additional fee) and, if desired, you or your whole family can make a Tenerife themed cartoon – also at extra charge.
After Pueblo Chico, delicate butterflies await us in the Butterfly Park or in Mariposario del Drago. The ride between the two parks takes only 20 minutes.
The day ends with a visit to a park unique in the world, not to mention Tenerife. Namely, in the spring of 2012, the museum of soft toys and art dolls ArtLandia opened its doors. This is an incredibly exciting world, built in a historic wine estate and hidden in a beautiful park, the existence of which the uninitiated usually do not know or suspect anything. We will see dolls, many of which cost more than the average class of a new car, and get acquainted with such a wonderful world where the birth of dolls takes no less time than the birth of a human child. Experience shows that once in the wonderful world of ArtLandia, it is adults who fall into more admiration than children.
There is also a café in ArtLandia.
After looking at the dolls and toys, we are on our way back, and after seven in the evening you will all be in your hotels.

“Tenerife is a dream for divers – the richest underwater world and no predators. On Playa San Juan there is an underwater cave of extraordinary beauty, and near the village of Masca there are black corals. The pleasure is not cheap – equipment rental for the day is almost 15 euros, for 2 dives for beginners I paid 90 euros. I really enjoyed diving at night.”

Surfing for beginners and experienced
In Tenerife, almost surf everywhere – long, short, soft boards, boards with leg loops and even without a board – in special fins and gloves. Most of the numerous surf schools are concentrated in popular tourist areas.

Kozhin Vasily:
“I took surf lessons at K16 – there is a Russian-speaking instructor. Lesson for 1 person – 70 euros, and for 3 people. – 50 euros. The waves are small, so it’s safe for beginners. I got on the board right away, but it was hard to row against the waves, then my hands dangled like ropes. You need to sign up for a lesson a day or two in advance.
The main thing is to catch the wave .. or not to be caught by it.

Nikita:
“We lived in Costa Adeje, 25 km from the wheelchair (20 minutes by car). The distances on the island are small, so it is realistic to live in any area. We rarely went to public catering, we found an excellent shop in Medano – they bought ready-made food there. It was delicious, the choice was large, everything was fresh – salads, meat, fish, there was a kitchen in the apartment.
After skiing and walking, you can relax in one of the street cafes.

Archives Mediterranean – DivingPlace
The Canary Islands are an archipelago located in the North Atlantic. They are part of Spain but have their own laws and consist of seven main land masses. They were formed as a result of volcanic eruptions and this makes scuba diving incredible.
With its many sunny days, mesmerizing cliffs and golden beaches, the Canary Islands have become popular with tourists and divers. The geographical position of the Canary Islands next to the African coast is a kind of guarantor that positive temperatures remain constant all year round, and you can do underwater diving all 365 days.
Dive sites
The islands have mild winters and warm summers. Sunny weather all year round with average temperatures between 17°C and 24°C. The Canary Islands are washed by the Gulf Stream, which regulates the water temperature, keeping it within 17-18 ° C in winter and around 23 ° C in summer. Generally, 5mm and 7mm wetsuits are comfortable for divers. Excellent visibility, often exceeding 30 meters, depending on local conditions, ideal for exploring the following dive sites:
Gran Canaria
Impressive volcanic landscapes, clear waters and a variety of marine life – this is Gran Canaria. Gran Canaria is often referred to as a “miniature continent” as it boasts a wide variety of landscapes. You can enjoy long golden beaches in the south of the island and dense pine forests on the west coast. In addition, there is a wide variety of dive sites scattered throughout the island. Under water you can meet giant rays and angel sharks.
Lanzarote
Playa Chica Reef is home to 10 dive sites in Lanzarote, including the popular Blue Hole and the Cathedral. Seahorses, angel sharks, rays are just some of the representatives that you can encounter while diving. Here is the only museum of underwater sculptures in Europe. It was created to promote diving and protect the environment. Each exhibit was made from environmentally friendly resources in order to develop and support the ecosystem. The stunning underwater view makes the museum the number one dive site in Lanzarote.
Tenerife
Tenerife, just a few hours flight from major European cities. The island is considered one of the best areas for diving. There are dozens of different dive sites in the south. The depth of the dive sites varies from 6 to 40 meters, which makes diving in Tenerife accessible to divers of any level. Some locations are ideal for deeper exploration. A nice addition to the diving opportunities on the island are the wrecks of El Penon, El Condesito and Meridian. The water temperature averages 22 degrees with a weak current. When diving, there is a chance to see black corals.
Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. In May 2009, it was declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. The island stretches from north to south, with the longest and whitest beaches of all in the archipelago. Diving here amazes with a variety of flora and fauna: from anemones, gastropods and sponges to impressive flocks of barracudas. You can meet angel sharks, hammerhead sharks, whales, dolphins, large common rays, eagle rays, butterfly rays, big-headed turtles, common black and tiger eels, known as moray eels. Some of the interesting dive sites are Bajón del Río, El Veril Grande, Tower Boat, Las Salinas and Mole, which are suitable for beginners.
La Palma
La Palma is not as touristy as the other Canary Islands. It is commonly referred to as the “wild beauty of the Canary Islands”. But this is not because it is not suitable for recreation. In fact, La Palma has some of the most stunning scenery in Europe. If you are looking for a relaxing snorkeling vacation, Las Cabras dive site on La Palma is the best place to dive. Numerous volcanic eruptions on La Palma have created one of the most impressive underwater landscapes in the world. Here are bizarre lava formations, and steep walls, and basalt arches and canyons. Warm waters are rich in subtropical and tropical fauna. Visibility up to 40 meters. Dive sites are located throughout the southern half of the island.
La Gomera
Memorable scenery offered to divers includes bizarre rock formations and sandy plains. Not to mention the diverse fauna. Diving in the Playa Santiago area is popular because the Atlantic Ocean is usually calmer here. Diving around La Gomera, you can see not only shimmering schools of fish, but also much larger representatives. Barracuda and tuna, turtles and various types of rays are found in abundance here. Brightly colored parrotfish, groupers and scorpions can be found everywhere. Large rocks covered with sponges and unique stone formations form an underwater landscape rich in small living creatures. In addition to anemones and sponges, you can see sea snails and crabs. You can meet brown or black, and sometimes even tiger moray eel, hiding in the crevices of the rocks.
El Hierro
With a visibility of 30 meters, this place is famous for rare dives with devil manta rays, whales and sharks. The underwater landscape was formed as a result of volcanic activity. The seabed is covered with rock formations such as pinnacles, large bluffs, caves and tunnels. Dense vegetation on the rocks is rich in various small living creatures. Lobsters, shrimps, seahorses, black and yellow corals, anemones and sponges hide in numerous cracks and crevices. Diving in these crystal clear waters, you can meet tuna, parrot fish, groupers, flounders, snappers, angel sharks, octopuses, rays and various types of moray eels. In season you can see sand tiger sharks, manta rays, whale sharks, dolphins and turtles here.
Getting there
You can get to the Canary Islands by plane or ferry. Many airlines, including low-cost airlines, operate more than one daily flight. There are many direct flights from almost all European countries to many airports in the Canary Islands.
The best way to travel around the Canary Islands is by car. Although there are buses, most of them do not run often enough to be useful for tourists. The sights of the islands are too scattered to be fully explored on foot.
A car allows you to quickly and efficiently get where you want to go. If you need to tour the island, flying is a reliable and efficient way to get around. If tourists prefer to travel by boat, several companies also offer ferry services.
Dive Clubs
The Canary Islands has a huge number of dive sites and dive centers offering various scuba training courses or joining one of the underwater excursions. Among the popular clubs, attention should be paid to:
ONE-TWO-DIVE
The center offers the highest quality, service and safety. Comfort and customer satisfaction is a priority for the club. It works according to the PADI diving system. It is well structured with a huge range of exceptional learning tools. With a personalized and professional approach, instructors help guests relax and fully prepare for open water diving. The club strives to provide an unforgettable experience, inspiring love and respect for nature.
Zeus Dive Center
Zeus Dive Center is a young company located in the south of Gran Canaria in Playa del Inglés. Multilingual instructors work here. The club invites everyone to enjoy scuba diving. The dive center provides free transport from the hotel to the onshore dive sites. Customers are invited to try nitrox diving for free. Nitrox is available to all certified divers at no additional cost. The Padi Discover Enriched Air Nitrox Diver courses are one of the club’s areas of focus.
Diveria Diving Center
This is a 5 star CMAS dive center that offers quality scuba diving and guaranteed customer satisfaction. This is a young and highly motivated team that strives to provide the best service. The dive center invites all divers to a beautiful place to relax away from the hustle and bustle. Daily guided dive tours around the island are always conducted in small groups. However, there is a second option – diving from a boat in the harbor of Los Gigantes.
Lanzarote Dive Center
This is a 5 star PADI Dive Center, PADI TecRec and TDI Center and has been a successful diving school for over 25 years. The team believes that no matter where scuba divers were trained, what matters is their experience and skills in open water diving. Instructors strive to provide safe and fun recreational training from beginners to divemasters and assistant instructors, as well as in the technical diving field. Dives take place at various locations around the island and include shore diving and boat diving. The team looks forward to welcoming guests for a safe and fun diving experience.
Diving reviews
Scuba diving in the Canary Islands inspires many divers every year. In addition to a variety of dive sites with caves, wrecks and colorful volcanic reefs, there is a unique flora and fauna. Worth mentioning is good infrastructure, short flight times, mostly sunny weather and last but not least political stability.
Scuba diving in the Canary Islands can be a highlight for everyone. Whether family, dive club, couples or solo travelers, the Isles of Eternal Spring have a lot to offer both above and below the water. Over 100 dive centers organize daily excursions to hundreds of dive sites. In addition, over 700 marine species can be found here, from stingrays to moray eels, cephalopods, crabs and groupers to angel sharks, turtles and rare manta rays. Everything is possible in the Atlantic.
As the water temperature never drops below 17 °C, the Canary Islands are a holiday destination all year round. Spring break with colder water allows you to see a huge number of rays, snails and fry.

Secondly, the underwater visibility of is unparalleled in the entire island of Tenerife, which is always a prerequisite for unforgettable diving experiences.

Visit Tenerife for Outdoor Adventure, Cuisine, and Working Remotely
As the dregs of last winter took hold, I was sitting in Ohio, dreaming about my first European summer. For years I wanted to spend the summer in Europe, drawn by the desire to experience the rustic coves, crystal-clear waters, gastronomic endeavors, and sunny days the continent is known for during peak season. Lingering over conversation – and perhaps an extra pour of wine – with friends as we watched the sunset, well, that would be the clincher.
We hope you love the Hotel Vulcano and other Tenerife hotels we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.
A work trip to Tenerife, Spain, checked off each of these things, proving to be both a beautiful locale for a getaway and a productive place to post up and work. As a nomadic traveler for over a year, I’m always on the hunt for places that combine work and vacation while keeping the true essence of a place intact. Whether you’re looking to visit the island for one week or one year, there is something for every type of traveler to discover and get lost in.
Tenerife is the largest of Spain’s seven Canary Islands and sits off the coast of West Africa. Airlines including SWISS, Air Canada, and Lufthansa operate direct flights from New York to Tenerife, making it easier than ever to visit the island. The island’s weather is warm all year round, with temperatures averaging 74º F. From the lush forests, majestic volcanos, and black sand beaches, this island is an excellent place to meld a passion for both seaside and on-water activities with hiking and other mountain excursions.
Hotel Vulcano is an ideal place to base yourself

During my time in Tenerife, I stayed at Hotel Vulcano. When you first walk into the lobby, you’re greeted with a garden-like design as plants flow over the ceiling and ledges. The hotel is situated in a great location, making visiting the many beaches and shopping there convenient. The dining at the hotel is buffet-style for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The average room rate is €170 (about $170) per night, with many deals and packages offered throughout the year. The hotel offers several room types; with the standard room, the beds are on the smaller side and smaller than a regular twin-size bed.
The rooms also have a balcony that provides picturesque views of the island and pool area. In addition, the hotel is equipped with amenities such as a gym, spa, and rooftop pool, which I enjoyed taking advantage of. The hotel is located in Tenerife South which has the most hours of sun on the island. It is also populated with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and attractions. I had a comfortable stay for the week and would recommend this hotel to families and travelers looking to stay in a central location.
There isn’t an official business center in the hotel, but the lobby area has an “internet zone” that was suitable for any quick emails I needed to send. However, Tenerife is packed with several coworking spaces making this a perfect place for digital nomads to call their base. My only regret is that I didn’t organize a more extended stay.
Tenerife proved to be the perfect place to cowork
For remote workers looking for the best of the city, beaches, and pristine weather for an affordable price, Tenerife may be the next best place to call home. Tenerife Work & Play is an online resource helping nomads and remote workers navigate and move to the island. They offer assistance from everything in figuring out transportation to the best accommodation options. On average remote workers can cover all their basic expenses for about $1,500.
While strolling through the island’s north side, I visited San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a World Heritage site by UNESCO since 1999. La Laguna still has its original layout but has modernized with the streets being filled with local thrift shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. You could easily get delightfully lost with every turn. While walking around, I stumbled upon a coworking space called SOHO La Laguna. This vibrant space in the heart of La Laguna is perfect for creative entrepreneurs looking to build with the community.
Another coworking option in Santa Cruz, a port city on the island, is Espacio Kernel. The coworking space is in a central location and is designed to encourage collaboration among remote workers. They have flexible membership options and are open to adopting the space to travelers’ needs so they can feel at home and create their best work.

Enjoying island cuisine with Spanish and African flavors
The food on Tenerife does not disappoint. Everything I had was an electric combination of savory and sweet, an ode both to the island’s near-African locale and Spanish colonial influence. One must-try dish is watermelon salmon salad, by far the best salad I ever had, just enough to turn me into a pescatarian. My favorite part of traveling is wandering areas and finding hidden places to eat.
During my excursions around the island, I found two places that I highly recommend, the first being Parador de las Cañadas del Teide. This restaurant is located inside a rustic hotel within Teide National Park. It is perfect for anyone visiting the island’s must-see volcanic sites. It’s a mountain house that blends into the surroundings with priceless views and food to match. The second place I indulged my taste buds was Hotel Laguna Nivaria, in San Cristóbal de La Laguna. This is more of an upscale dining place that serves a mix of fresh fish and meats.
Travelers can never go wrong with wandering through Mercado Nuestra señora de Africa in Santa Cruz and buying local crafts from artisans, flowers, and fresh fruits and cheeses.
What to see and do around Tenerife
Photo: Baisa/Shutterstock
There is no shortage of things to do on the island. For convenience, I booked all my tours through the operator Touring Canaries. Our tour guide for the week, Cristo, brought our trip come alive with local insight and an insider’s perspective that even a long-time digital nomad couldn’t offer. He also kept us on our toes with new and existing things to experience, such as touring Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We also stopped at Anaga Rural Park, which covers 14,500 hectares (35,800 acres) of lush green mountainscape, hikes within which provide some of the best ocean views on the entire island. There are also a plethora of hidden beaches on the island. With rental cars being $50 a day, spending a free day driving along the coast is an affordable and beautiful way to see the island. To cut this cost down further, rent a scooter. You won’t make it as far, but with some many beaches to visit — One of the most beautiful being Playa Montaña Amarilla, not far from the hotel — there’s no need to venture too far.

Living in Tenerife, Canary Islands
A Piece of Spain off the African Coast
By Joe Cawley
A view from Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
After years of monotonous routines, working only to try not to lag behind, my girlfriend Joy and I decided to check ourselves out of the rat race in a grey and damp northern England. We needed some warmth and color in our lives.
Why Tenerife?
The Canary Islands hug the northwest coast of Africa, maintaining a very agreeable subtropical climate all year round. The cost of living is relatively low. Away from the tourist areas, a 3-course dinner complete with wine costs around $5. Only the minimum of clothing is needed as casual attire is worn everywhere. Unless you live high in the mountainous regions, the only heating bills are for warming of edibles rather than the defrosting of limbs.
Our business, in which we had no previous experience, is a small family bar and restaurant 20 yards from the black volcanic sand beach near the village of La Caleta. The terraced slopes behind us are speckled with white farm buildings; behind them are green pine forests culminating in the regal crown of Spains highest mountain, Mount Teide, a dormant volcano that imperially surveys the island.
Canarian Culture
The original inhabitants of the Canary Islands, the Guanches, are allegedly descendants of the Canarii, a Berber tribe from North Africa, but the culture is distinctly Spanish. Historically, the islands have very strong ties with Venezuela and Cuba.
Most shops and offices close for siesta in the afternoon and the streets become quiet. Work takes second place to enjoying life. Manana may literally mean tomorrow; in reality, it means not today. Like all Spaniards, Canarians love to party, and fiestas are held everywhere throughout the year. In February, the capital, Santa Cruz, hosts the third biggest carnival in the world. For nine days, a quarter of a million people dance the nights away to the salsa rhythms of dozens of open-air bands.
When we settled in the south to make a go of a business we were helped by many other expats who had made a similar move. Some newcomers head for the hills or for the lusher north coast, where little has changed for many decades. In hidden villages, families sit for hours in their doorways conversing, sharing earthenware jugs of locally made wine, and smoking Canarian cigars.
All built-up tourist areas tend to attract the less salubrious characters eager to detach holiday cash and consumables from unsuspecting tourists, and Tenerife is no different. However, beyond these regions crime is scarce. Everybody tends to know one another and petty criminals are ostracized from the community.
The air is very clear and the climate extremely healthy. There is a reasonably modern health service with up to date hospitals in the south and north of the island. Private healthcare coverage can be purchased for around $31 a month.
So, if you are looking for a life of constant sunshine at an unhurried pace and a healthy environment, combined with a low cost of living and close proximity to the rest of Europe, there is no match for Tenerife. Much of this island and all of the smaller islands are still undeveloped, so business opportunities similar to ours still abound.

Buying Property in Tenerife
There are quite a lot of old fincas (farmhouses) in need of restoration for sale, and these can be valuable investments.

Best Places to Stay
If you take only one sightseeing tour on Tenerife, make it a jeep safari. Touring by jeep allows you to discover hidden places that standard vehicles just can’t reach, from remote canyons to the surreal moon-like landscape of the ancient volcano Teide. A jeep safari also means you’ll be able to see quite a bit in a relatively short time, without sacrificing the opportunity to enjoy the island’s cultural charms. There are a multiple tour operators and various excursions that offer a variety of routes, including tours to the summit of Mount Teide via the famous hidden city of Masca as well as excursions to the neighboring island of La Gomera.

While you probably equate camels with the Arabian desert, camels were once a rather common sight on Tenerife, especially around the south end, used to help agricultural workers as they were better suited for the terrain than cattle. If you’ve never ridden one, there are a number of camel parks around the island that offer the experience, with some of the best found in the aptly named La Camella, as well as Puerto de la Cruz and El Tanque. The unique adventure often comes with some especially picturesque views of the sea and the mountains.

Wine Tasting
Best Places to Stay
Tenerife is becoming an increasingly popular wine destination too. Home to the largest wine-producing area in the Canary Islands, the rich, fertile soil nourishes multiple grape varieties, including the favorite listan variety. Its sweet Malmsey wine dates all the way back to 16th-century Britain, beloved by Shakespeare himself who mentioned it more than 100 times in his plays. You can join an excursion to take you around to the island’s hottest vino spots, sampling wine and authentic Canarian cuisine along the way, while learning more about its cultural and historic heritage.

Abstract
Data on six protein polymorphisms (19 alleles) from the human population of Tenerife are presented and discussed along with other classical markers in relation to the origin of the Canarians. Genetic influences from three population groups were considered: the Iberians, and the Berbers and non-Berbers (Arabs) from north Africa. The systems examined show the Tenerife population lies within the limits of variation described for various Iberian groups, with a slight tendency towards the characteristics of north African populations. When blood groups, red cell enzymes and serum protein data were considered, the similarity of the Canary population to Iberians seems strengthened (70% estimated contribution of Iberian peninsula genes to the present-day Canarian pool), while some relation with north African groups is shown. Genetic distances between Canarians and Arabs and Canarians and Berbers are lower than those between the two north African groups, indicating a relative and comparable contribution of each to the present-day gene pool of the Canarian population. The Arab contribution could be attributable to the slaves who were introduced to these islands after the conquest in the 15th century, while the Berber contribution could be the remnants of the extinct aboriginal peoples of the islands (Guanches) or a more recent immigration due to slavery. Genetic data do not allow us to distinguish between these two possibilities.

8 Reasons Why Tenerife is Unlike Any Other Destination
Tenerife is a place that should be on everyone’s bucket list. If you haven’t heard of it, and you love exploring new and unique places, you’re missing out. The largest island of the Canaries is not your typical island destination, and has something for everyone. It’s a place where you can imagine yourself in multiple places around the globe – without even stepping off the island. Picture this: the volcanic landscapes, boardwalks and resorts of Maui, combined with the food, wine, port and Spanish colonial architecture of Barcelona, and the white/black sand beaches of Costa Rica – all on one island! If you’re in the process of choosing where your next trip should be and you can’t decide, here’s why it should be Tenerife.
The Diving
The crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean around Tenerife and the Canary Islands are internationally known for their quality and temperatures of 70 degrees. Filled with a rich diversity of marine life, the island is an undersea paradise for experienced or first time divers. Above the waves, there’s plenty to do too – you can choose from windsurfing, surfing, kayaking or deep sea fishing.
Birdwatching
While many travel to Tenerife to explore its black sand beaches, many also come for birdwatching. The island is home to some rare species because the various habitats and unusual geography. One of these birds is the Blue Chaffinch, which is easily recognizable with its blue feathers and is only found in the mountain forests of the island. While birdwatching in Tenerife you’ll also probably be on the lookout for two species of laurel pigeon that live in the forests and the mountains of the island and the Great Grey Shrike, an uncommon bird in the UK but one that lives in Tenerife high on Mt. Teide.
#1 Waterpark
Siam Park is one of the biggest and best waterparks in Europe for those seeking an adrenaline rush. So good in fact that it was rated as the #1 waterpark in the world by Trip Advisor in 2016 and 2017. Set in a Thai-themed paradise, the lush, green and tranquil environment makes it great for any ages to enjoy. Thrilling rides like the Tower of Power, The Dragon, and the Mekong Rapids will set your heart racing. If you’re in the mood to relax, visit the bars or restaurants on the white sandy beach.
Europe’s Largest Lava Tube
Maybe you want to travel alone, or maybe you’re looking for an interesting and informative trip for the family. Whatever the case, the Wind Cave is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a unique and educational activity for the day. Shaped by lava flows from Pico Viejo, part of Mount Teide is The Cueva del Viento. Also known as the Wind Cave, this lava cave is Europe’s largest lava tube and the fifth largest in the world. The top four largest are all located in Hawaii.
Wine
If you’re a wine connoisseur, you’ll want to add some vineyards to your trip itinerary to truly experience Tenerife’s culture. Luckily for you, Tenerife is internationally recognized for it’s wine. The main reason why is because the island grows nine varieties of ungrafted vines that can’t be found anywhere else in Spain. Listán Blanco, Malvasiaa, Gual, Albillo Criollo, Vijariego, Moscatel, Marmajuelo and Verdello are the grapes used to make whites, whilst rosés and wines are made mostly of Listán Negro, Negramoll and Tintilla.
Black and White Sand Beaches
Featured in CNN, Forbes as a trending beach destination and the Active Times, Tenerife’s beaches live up to the hype. But with so many Tenerife beaches (there’s 70) how do you narrow down the options? It’s all about what you’re looking for. If black volcanic sand is what you’re seeking, check out the El Bollullo beaches in the north, surrounded by green cliffs and banana plantations. If you’re looking for a more traditional beach – you’ll want to be in the south in Adeje, which is filled with golden sand beaches. We teamed up with a Tenerife expert and listed our 6 favorite beaches here.
Michelin Star Restaurants
And for all you foodies out there, cuisine is another great hallmark of Tenerife’s culture. Traditional food in Tenerife is rustic but simple, and the favor combinations and rustic ingredients are worth trying. Spain has 182 Michelin Star restaurants, but Tenerife is the only island in the Canaries with four Michelin Star restaurants. A Michelin Star is received after anonymous restaurant reviewers try different restaurant cuisines and come to a consensus on which restaurants will be awarded the stars. Forget Yelp and Zagat, as you can see, no consumer reviews are used in making the Michelin determination.
The World’s Best Stargazing
While this bustling Spanish island is widely known for its spectacular beaches and busy nightlife, Tenerife is also considered one of the best places to go stargazing in Europe. In the darkness of the Atlantic Ocean, Tenerife’s Mt. Teide, Spain’s highest peak, is also one of the few places you can see constellations and different galaxies because of its elevation. With no light pollution and cities vastly spread out, everything is completely lit up and you’ll be able to see thousands of stars. If you really want an incredibly unique experience, go up late in the afternoon to Mt. Teide National Park and go to the Parador (a hotel/ restaurant inside the Caldera) to enjoy a memorable five-star dinner from Michelin-awarded chefs. Read more about stargazing and the Sunset and Stars experience here.
Starry Nights in the Canary Islands
Way, way out in the Atlantic Ocean, at a point where one of Earth’s four cold water currents meets the searing African desert winds, nights are dark as prehistory. Once the sun sets on the volcanic archipelago known as the Canary Islands, a misty net of extraterrestrial white light blankets the sky from horizon to horizon. Until dawn, every ray of visible starlight in the entire Northern Hemisphere and much of the Southern Hemisphere gathers overhead. That sprawl of sky over a small island speck on the black ocean suggests, like few other experiences, the nanosecond that is human life.
Such black nights and clear skies have beckoned astronomers to install some of the world’s most powerful telescopes on volcanic peaks in this archipelago off the northwestern coast of Africa. As scientists use these state-of-the-art observatories to search out signs of the Big Bang, at sea level 8,000 feet below, tens of thousands of mostly British pensioners and brides-to-be on “hen parties” are getting drunk and sunburned.
Five million tourists annually visit this Spanish territory from colder climes to bask in Europe’s only subtropical weather. The port at Tenerife, the largest island, is the third-most-visited cruise ship destination in Europe.
Behemoth floating parties disgorge thousands of passengers daily in wintertime, the high season. Most of them are oblivious to the fact that they have just disembarked on an island with three official, Unesco-sanctioned Starlight Reserves — locations where efforts are being made to preserve darkness and fend off light and air pollution to protect access to starlight. Only a small percentage of tourists make the two-hour nauseating and twisting ascent to the telescopes — giant, bulbous white towers, perched at the windy top of Mount Teide.
That may be about to change. Astrotourism is already a component of the Canaries’ booming tourism industry, drawing about 200,000 visitors annually. But with the 2014 designation of the islands as part of a larger EU SkyRoute itinerary for visitors, and the creation in 2011 of a music and astronomy festival, Canarian officials believe more star trekkers will soon be taking the winding drive up the mountain at dusk to sit on what might be called one of nature’s sky-decks.
Island officials and the Spanish government are trying to cement the islands’ reputation as a key destination for both amateur and professional astronomers. In 2007, scientists and policy makers from some 50 countries met on the smaller island of La Palma for the first International Conference in Defense of the Quality of the Night Sky, producing a declaration on “protecting the sky as a basic right for all humanity. ”

Among other matters, they discussed outlawing light pollution in La Palma, home to the world’s largest optical telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory. The island happens to be the second-best location for infrared and optical astronomy in the Northern Hemisphere, after Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, according to astronomers.
The Canary Islands telescope sites are run by astronomers at the Institute of Astrophysics (IAC) in Tenerife, a local research organization that operates the European Northern Observatory. The islands have also hosted telescopes from 28 nations over the last few decades.
With the support of Unesco, the institute in 2007 created a Starlight Foundation and a Starlight Initiative, devoted to keeping night skies dark. With Unesco, the IAC has been certifying “Starlight Reserves” around the world — defined as sites dedicated to protecting darkness from light and air pollution. Currently Starlight Reserves are certified in Chile (also home to one of the world’s largest telescopes), Nova Scotia and Portugal, in addition to the Canary Islands.
Officials in Tenerife also took the lead in the European Union in promoting stargazing as a tourism pastime in other nations, too. They spearheaded the creation of the EU Sky Route, which traces “an astronomical highway” for tourists across seven participating territories sharing exceptionally dark night skies, including locations in Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Poland and the Canary Islands.
Mount Teide forms a black pyramid at the center of the half-barren, half-green island of Tenerife. Teide is a Unesco World Heritage site and also a designated Starlight Reserve. Teide Natural Park on and around the mountain, with its abundant hiking and proximity to beaches, is said to be the most visited natural park in Spain, according to Unesco, thanks to numerous daily flights into Tenerife’s airports from Barcelona and London.
On the highest point on the nearby island of La Palma, at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, hundreds of researchers work at the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (Great Telescope of the Canary Islands).

La Palma, population 70,000, is home to a large colony of scientists and the remnants of a 1960s German commune, and it is also a tiny center for astrotourism. The economy revolves around astronomy, and besides the telescope and research center, there are 13 sky-viewing points on La Palma. Vacationers can even rent telescope-equipped holiday houses and sip a vintage called “stellar wine” from local grapes.
By day from some points near sea level on Tenerife, one can see the white columns of the telescopes perched miles high on the old volcano. Researchers use them to literally look back in time at starlight generated millenniums ago, and to advance humanity’s developing perceptions about space and time. The stars they seek out are so far away it takes millions of years for their light to reach our eyes, and for all we know, they may have died already.
Impulses both earthly and intellectually sublime coexist easily on the Canary Islands. The British lose their stiff upper lip down here faster than you can say Spanish sun, and a British television documentary called “OAPs Behaving Badly” recently reported that so many British retirees party hearty in the bars that one of them is known as “God’s Waiting Room.” Establishments like Bonker’s Bar, China’s White Bar, the Down Under Bar, the Drunk-N-Duck Bar and the Dubliner hold down the wilder end of the Canarian amusement spectrum. For the sober set, there are dozens of golf courses irrigated with desalinated water.
Tenerife’s astrotourism lure was bumped up in the last few years with the Starmus Festival, headlined by the likes of the late American astronaut Neil Armstrong and other stars of the space world. In the fall of 2014, in a vast conference hall in the Ritz Carlton’s Abama resort, a terra cotta red Moorish-styled compound, Garik Israelian, a Canarian astrophysicist, stood before 600 science aficionados from all over the world, with music from Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” blasting from speakers all around.
A few hundred yards away, the Atlantic crashed into jet-black rocks and split the blazing afternoon sunlight into spray diamonds, but down in the conference room, travelers from as far away as Canada and China couldn’t have cared less about sun and sea. Everyone had their iPhones aimed at the wheelchair mounted with a black Intel laptop that almost obscured the small, slumped figure of the Cambridge physicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking.
Dr. Hawking, along with Brian May of the band Queen, who earned a doctorate in physics from the Canary Islands astrophysical institute sometime after recording “Another One Bites the Dust” and other rock anthems, the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, and several astronauts, were among the headliners at the second Starmus Festival in 2014, the pet project of Dr. Israelian.

Dr. Israelian is a rocker-scientist who had his own punk band and studied astrophysics in Armenia before emigrating to Spain with his family in the 1970s. He moved to Tenerife and began researching supernovas at the observatories — with Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno and other ’70s rockers blasting on his earphones.
He welcomed attendees standing before a giant LED backdrop of a beam of light slicing through a triangle and splitting into a prism, homage to the cover of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” album, and the sounds of the band’s “Breathe” reverberating through the floor. When the music died down, he talked about the telescopes a few hours uphill.
“The huge eye looking out into space seems to me to be an uplifting symbol of humanity’s eye looking out into the vast universe where we live in such a small corner,” Dr. Israelian said. “But our species is capable of looking beyond.”
The islands are essential to extraterrestrial exploration now, but they played a key role in earthly exploration as well. Columbus stopped there in 1492, that banner year in the human enterprise of looking beyond. Drifting down the coast of Africa before steering west to discover the Americas, the explorer dropped anchor and fueled up on fresh water and fruit here.
The islands were not exactly new to mainland Europeans when Columbus arrived. The origin of their name is the Latin word for dog — cane — possibly because, as the ancient Roman author and naturalist Pliny the Elder wrote, early Roman visitors to the islands encountered huge dogs. The small tropical birds we call canaries, native to these islands and others, are named after the islands — not the other way around.
But when Columbus dropped anchor, the islands were still inhabited by a tall, white-skinned people called the Guanches. They lived in the mountain caves, wore goatskins and mummified their dead in the Egyptian fashion. Teide, capped with snow in the winter, and the island’s name, Tenerife, are both words that come from the indigenous people’s name for “white mountain.”

On the nearby island of La Gomera, schoolchildren are still taught an indigenous whistling language that those inhabitants of the island used to communicate over distances before the arrival of the telephone.
But other than those few words and traditions, for the lost goatskin-wearing natives, Columbus’s arrival heralded the end of language, culture and time. Within two years of the explorer’s stopover, the Spaniards had colonized the islands and eradicated the Guanche, selling the survivors as white slaves on the Continent. What remains of them today are some of their names, like Teide, and words for some of the flowers that grow only along its rocky ridges.
After Columbus, the great German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt landed here in the 18th century and explored the islands, identifying one of the four cold water currents in the world drifting past the islands, which partly accounts for the near-perfect weather. The sky is literally cloudless 90 percent of the year.
While one side of Tenerife is gray rubble, the islands are mostly fertile, producing kiwi, bananas, mangoes, apples, tobacco and wine. Tenerife is filled with microclimates, green toward the north and barren to the south. In winter, it is possible to swim on the beaches and, an hour later, ascend the volcano and stand in three feet of snow.
The islands’ bounty and idyllic — and strategic — location made them a colonial prize by the 18th century, and it was here that the Spaniards shot off Admiral Horatio Nelson’s right arm with a cannon while defending Tenerife against the British Navy in 1797. He survived and went home with a condolence prize of casks of sweet Canarian wine, for which the British developed a taste that has not abated to this day. George Washington supposedly toasted the revolution with a glass of it.
For modern-day American visitors, the Canary Islands resemble the Caribbean, but possess facilities and characteristics of Europe — hospitals, low crime, relatively high standard of living, Spanish culture and healthy, delicious food (great tapas, olive oil, indigenous white goat cheese and a local delicacy, “wrinkled potatoes” boiled in salted water until the water evaporates). But the chief difference between Tenerife and, say, Aruba or the Bahamas is the island’s role in international space endeavors.
Dr. Israelian conceived Starmus, the island’s science and rock festival in 2011, and its name is short for “star music.” The concept of music from stars — unlike the medieval “music of the spheres” — actually has some basis in science and Dr. Israelian has made a study of it.
“When the first sound waves were detected in stars, about 10 years ago, I realized this whole new branch of astronomy was starting,” he said. “We have tools to detect those sound waves. They are low frequency, infra-sounds, the timbre is different, but I can take the sound … and I can move it to our domain, so we can hear it. It’s playing the piano, 10 octaves down.”
Dr. Israelian, who is compiling a library of the star sounds, likes to think big (he’s working on projects to help Armenian and other orphans in Syria).

In the fall of 2014, at the second Starmus, he had 600 attendees, a repeat attendance by Dr. Hawking, and the participation of the local government and tourism agencies. Dr. Israelian plans a third, even larger Starmus festival from June 27 to July 2 this year devoted to discussion of the search for life in the universe. “The only place and best place to do something like this is here,” he said. “In one hour we can get a bus and get to a star party with the biggest telescope in the world, at night. There is no place on the planet where you can do that.”
Dr. Hawking is again expected, along with 10 Nobel laureates, a gaggle of American and Russian astronauts, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, the American astrophysicist, author and television personality, a rock star himself.
Among the science-lovers who trekked across the planet for the last Starmus were two Canadians, Gordon MacLaren and Greg Davies. The men, a marketing executive and an engineer, are among Richard Dawkins’s million-plus Twitter followers, and when Mr. Dawkins tweeted about the event, they thought it sounded cool. They each forked out $5,000 for full access tickets, and undertook a 36-hour odyssey, arriving from Toronto just in time to hear Mr. Dawkins give his talk on “A Taxonomy of Alien Life.”
When told that a single tweet had enticed a pair of Canadians to travel to the remote island, Mr. Dawkins asked if they had traveled together. When told they had, he replied dryly: “That’s a single data point.” The curmudgeonly atheist biologist was later spotted in a Hawaiian shirt, poolside, amiably chatting with the reborn Christian American astronaut Charlie Duke and his wife, Dorothy, who had come to Tenerife armed with Creationist literature to share with the attendees.
The surreal spectacle of the geekfest in paradise reached a peak when more than a thousand people packed a hall for Dr. Hawking’s lecture, and Dr. Israelian produced a 1970s style rock ’n’ roll entrance. Dr. Hawking, eyes closed, was wheeled onstage to form the human centerpiece of a flashing light and sound show accompanied by a thundering rendition of “A Hole in the Sky,” by the doom metal band Atoma. Dr. Hawking later said he thoroughly enjoyed the Starmus festival. “It is a combination of science and rock music, both of which I love,” he wrote in an email. He said he hoped that he would be invited back — and he was.
Starmus 2016 runs from June 27 to July 2 on Tenerife, featuring 10 Nobel Prize winners and Dr. Stephen Hawking, among others. Rates, locations and other details at starmus.com.

Tenerife, the largest island in the Spanish Canary Islands, is located 300 km off the northwest coast of Africa. The population of the island has about a million inhabitants, and 4 million tourists come to rest every year! Guaranteed sunny weather and a huge number of pristine beaches have been the key to the success of the island among tourists from all over the world.
A huge mountain keeps clouds and cold winds out of the southern half of the island. Therefore, the climate of the southern part of the island is drier and hotter, while in the northern part it is milder and cooler. In the south, large resorts for tourists are concentrated, such as Los Cristianos, and in the north of the island, where it is greener and less lively, older tourists or those who appreciate peace and quiet are more likely to relax.
How to get to Tenerife by ferry?
Tenerife plays a central role in the inter-island communication of the Canary Islands and communication with the mainland. This is facilitated by the presence of two airports and two ferry ports. There are ferry routes to Spain and to other Canary Islands.
Ferry crossings from Spain to Tenerife are quite long and expensive, but because they are operated by luxury cruise ships, the journey is a pleasure.
Tenerife can be reached by ferry from any other Canary Island. The most frequent flights are from Palma and Gran Canaria.
Ferries arriving from the west arrive at the southern port of Los Cristianos and ferries from Spain arrive at Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the north of the island.
When is the best time to go to Tenerife?
You can relax in Tenerife at any time of the year. The temperature even in winter is above +20, and summer is dry and hot. The beach season by the ocean is from May to October. You can see the price range for ferry tickets to Tenerife by month with the help of a visual graph which can be found by going to ‘Countries’ on our website.

2. Gorgeous beaches
The Canary Islands and the beaches of Tenerife – for many, these phrases cause associations with something heavenly and very expensive. We tested it on ourselves and found out that this is only partly true – there are indeed plenty of heavenly places in the Canary Islands, but rest there can be absolutely affordable.
3. “Martian” landscapes of the Teide volcano
The Teide volcano on the island of Tenerife is the highest point in Spain. Those who have visited the crater of the Teide volcano at an altitude of almost 4000 meters say that to visit there is like touching heaven. And at the top, the view is so breathtaking that you forget about everything in the world.
The Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Spain, lies on the slopes of the mountain. And up to the crater of the volcano, where, according to the beliefs of the natives of the Guanches, an evil demon lived, there is a cable car.
4. national parks
One of Tenerife’s popular attractions is the Teno National Natural Park. Teno Park covers an area of more than 8 thousand hectares, is difficult to access due to its landscape, but thanks to this, unique laurel forests have been preserved here, which have become home to many birds and animals.

On the territory of the park is the famous gorge Barranco de Carrizale, as well as the Punta de Teno lighthouse, popular among tourists.
In the oldest part of the island, there is the picturesque Anaga Park, where many archaeological finds have been discovered. The natural park is about 7-9 million years old. The park is notable for steep mountain cliffs, deep gorges and tropical forests with an abundance of rare plants.
5. Rich opportunities for outdoor activities
Tenerife enthusiasts will find a lot of offers, one of the most attractive – paragliding flights over the gorges and beaches. Paragliding is very popular among tourists.
The island will also appeal to surfers , as Tenerife has many beaches with good waves. The most popular surf spots are Los dos Hermanos and El Charco beaches on the north coast, Fuera de la Bajeta, Punta Blanca beach on the west coast and many more.
Tenerife – a real paradise for fans and diving, thanks to the rich ocean life and favorable climate. The air temperature all year round is 19-25 degrees, the ocean is almost always very calm.

Tenerife Island in Spain
Territory. 1532 km2
Capital of the island. Santa Cruz de Tenerife (changes every 4 years)
Geography. Canary Islands is an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Spain, consists of seven large and six small volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Large islands: Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Palma, Gomera, Jerry. All the islands are divided into two provinces, they differ in terms of landscape and climate: the western province (the capital is Santa Cruz de Tenerife) and the eastern province (the capital is Las Palmas). The highest point is the summit of the Teide volcano (3718 m), located on the island of Tenerife.
Climate. In the Canary Islands it is always evenly warm throughout the year – the average air temperature varies between 18-24 degrees. Such a mild and warm climate determines the proximity to the African continent, the warm Gulf Stream and the wind that blows across the ocean from the Sahara desert.
Population. The population of Spain is 40.4 million (2006). 1.995 million people live in the Canary Islands, 853,000 people live in Tenerife, and 807,000 people live in Gran Canaria (2006). About 80% of the population are Spaniards, the rest are Catalans, Gauls and Basques.
Language. Spanish is the official language throughout Spain. English and German are popular in the resorts.
Religion. Catholicism is the dominant religion (about 76% of the population are Catholics). Quite a large number (19%) do not associate themselves with any of the religions. The rest are Orthodox, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, there are also Baha’i religious communities.
National dishes. The cuisine of the Canary Islands is characterized by the use of local products – prepared from fresh fish, seafood, goat meat, fruits and vegetables grown on the island, such as avocados, tomatoes, papaya. All dishes are accompanied by a variety of spicy and aromatic sauces. There are hundreds of recipes for their preparation. Various salads and greens are brought on the table both as separate dishes and as additives for fish dishes. The most popular dishes in the Canary Islands are: papas arrugadas, sancocho canario, ropa vieja, conejo al salmorejo, baifo and machorra, arroz con verduras. In the Canary Islands, you can enjoy traditional Spanish cuisine: paella, gazpacho, caldera de pescados, tortillas and much more. The most popular dessert in the Canary Islands, bienmesabe is a sweet almond cream with egg yolk and cinnamon. To dishes that you have never tried before, you need to get used to gradually, starting with small portions.
Alcoholic drinks. Spain is famous for its ancient winemaking traditions, so wine is always served with the meal. The most popular wines are made in the continental wineries “Torres”, “Rioja” and “Siglo”. However, on each island you can taste homemade wine (vino de casa) in the restaurant. In the Canary Islands, as well as on the Spanish mainland, Sangria is a very popular cocktail of red wine and champagne, served in cups with ice and chopped fresh fruit. Only the Canary Islands produce Malvazia wine, which has a special, sweet aftertaste and an unusual amber color. The Canary Islands are also famous for their rum, cognacs and liqueurs, Spanish wines are also popular in the Canary Islands: Dorada and San Miguel.

Estepona attractions: 15 Best Things to Do in Estepona (Spain)
15 Best Things to Do in Estepona (Spain)
On the western side of the Costa del Sol, Estepona is a both a working town with a large permanent population and an engaging seaside resort bringing you Blue Flag beaches, a stylish marina and loads of authentic restaurants and Spanish beach bars.
You’ll fall in love with Estepona’s centro historico, which is like an enchanting step back to how this region once looked. But this isn’t to say that Estepona lacks modern attractions; the brand new Orchidarium is a delight and its bold domes will be a symbol for the resort for years to come.
Lets explore the best things to do in Estepona:
1. Playa del Cristo
Source: flickrPlaya del Cristo, Estepona
Hiding just around the Punta de Doncella headland from Estepona’s marina, Playa del Cristo is the pick of the resort’s beaches.
There’s a breakwater on the east side and along with the natural curve of the bay and the beach’s east-facing orientation, this helps protect the beach from breezes and sea currents.
It all keeps the transparent, pool-like waters surprisingly warm too.
For parents this all brings peace of mind, as kids will be able to play in safety, and there are also two chiringuitos should you get peckish during your lazy day by the Mediterranean.
2. Centro Historico
Source: flickrOld Town, Estepona
Estepona’s old core is one of the loveliest on the Costa del Sol, and is a slice of life in a typical Andalsian town.
Down cobblestone streets decorated with geraniums you can investigate the Castillo de San Luis, a fortress constructed by Spain’s Catholic Monarchs at the end of the 15th century, and Plaza del Reloj (Clock). This endearing little square has a bell-tower that is the last remaining part of the original Iglesia de los Remedios, destroyed in an earthquake in the mid-18th century.
There are orange trees and Norfolk Island pines next to a graceful iron pavilion for outdoor concerts by Estepona’s official Concert Band.
3. Orchidarium Estepona
Source: flickrOrchidarium Estepona
A delight for amateur botanists, the Orchidarium has only been around since 2015 but has already become both a landmark and one of the western Costa del Sol’s top attractions.
You can’t miss the modern building’s three glass domes ; the tallest has an striking elliptical shape and reaches a height of 30 metres.
Underneath are three waterfalls that flow in unison during a special show every hour.
The waterfalls are just one element that helps recreate the environment tropical forests of Southeast Asia and South America.
There are more than 5,000 plant species at the Orchidarium, and the largest collection of orchids in Europe, with 1,300 different species.
4. Paseo Marítimo
Source: flickrPaseo Marítimo
As the sun sets in summer locals and tourists emerge to take in the fresher air on walkways like this one next to the beach.
There are benches all the way, and lots of places to stop for a cold drink or coffee.
If you happen to be in the resort in winter then you have to get to Paseo Marítimo early to see the sunrise, and the unusual light created by the sea and any clouds in the sky.
Joggers and cyclists love it at any time of year, partly because of the flower beds that separate the promenade from the road at stages; they teem with palms, succulent plants and flowers, and all this thick vegetation blocks all sight of the road.
5. Plaza de las Flores
Source: flickrPlaza de las Flores
At this charming square in the old-town the apartment towers of the Costa del Sol will feel a long way away.
It’s a satisfying place to be at any time of day: Early in the morning you’ll have it almost to yourself and can bask in the tranquillity as the town just begins to stir.
In the afternoon you can retreat to the shaded benches below the orange trees and admire the fountain at the centre, encircled by a large flower bed.
And at night you’ll dine al fresco while the square hums with animated conversation and local children run around.
6. Playa La Rada
Source: flickrPlaya La Rada
Estepona’s largest beach is also the closest to the old-town.
It’s a long and broad ribbon of soft pale sand with an urban feel due to the adjacent apartment blocks and wide array of chiringuitos and cafes either directly on the promenade or just the other side of Avenida España.
Palm trees have been planted all along all 2. 6 kilometres of beachfront and there are play areas for kids and volleyball courts if you fancy a game.
In the summer you can choose from a multitude of sunshades and sun-loungers, so it’s the obvious destination if you want to fun in the sun and don’t mind the crowds.
7. Estepona Marina
Source: flickrEstepona Marina
Between La Rada and El Cristo is the resort’s upscale marina.
In this spot, opposite Avenida Luis Braille is a clutch of cafes, bars and restaurants, giving the waterside a sociable atmosphere in the evenings.
By day you could also come for a stroll and a refreshing drink, and see the marina’s opulent yachts in all their glory.
If you come on a Sunday you can also potter around the stalls at the popular Tourist Market, which is held right in the harbour, selling handicrafts and leather goods.
8. Outdoor Activities
Source: flickrSierra Bermeja
As soon as you leave Estepona the terrain becomes mountainous, and if you like a good hike it may be difficult to resist the call of the Sierra Bermeja range.
From the coast these mountains, topping out at 1,500 metres, can look forbidding and barren, but as you work your way into the park you’ll enter untamed forests with pinaspos “Spanish firs”, a species that only grows in this part of Andalusia There’s also an equestrian centre on the outskirts of Estepona, organising treks for all ages and overnight adventures on which you’ll feel like a real cowboy, sitting round a campfire and even sleeping in a hammock.
9. Golf
Source: denkerfotoValle Romano Golf
If you’re a competitive player with a low handicap, or a casual golfer who needs a round or two to loosen up, you can be sure that Estepona will have the course for you: There are eight inside 20 minutes of the resort.
Valle Romano is one for the serious players, with a maximum handicap of 28 for gents and 36 for ladies.
It opened in 2010 and meets European Tour standards.
If this sounds a bit too heavy-going then there’s a municipal driving range to help you find your swing, and two nine-hole par-27s, at Coto de la Serena and El Campanario.
10. Corominas Necropolis
Source: megalithicCorominas Necropolis
This archaeology museum inside a replica dolmen welcomes enthusiasts for occasional open days, but for the rest of the time you’ll have to arrange a tour in advance.
This is definitely worthwhile if you’re into archaeology, as the site is the best stone age burial site in the Costa del Sol area.
There are five tombs that still look pretty much as they did 5,000 years ago.
You can also take a close look at the artefacts discovered during the excavations, with jewellery, arrowheads, ceramics, stone tools and pierced seashells in display cabinets.
11. Selwo Aventura
Source: flickrRed Panda at Selwo Aventura
Just outside Estepona, on the way to Marbella, is a one million-square-metre animal park.
The attraction is so extensive that you’ll visit many of the enclosures on the park’s camouflaged off-road trucks, getting superb views of white rhinos, Bengal tigers, zebras, lions and giraffes in semi-captivity.
There 2,000 creatures here in all, and among them is “Kanvar”, the only Asiatic elephant born on Spanish soil.
The adventure doesn’t stop there; Selwo Aventura also packs in camel rides, a petting zoo and trail with rickety suspension bridges and the longest zip-line in Europe.
12. Ruta de Murales Artisticos
Source: flickrRuta de Murales Artisticos
Estepona has gained a lot of attention for the murals adorning the sides of several buildings in the resort.
At the last count there were 23 in total, including one hyper-realistic, trompe-l’oeil image that covers six apartment blocks, making it the largest mural in Spain.
The tourist office in Plaza de las Flores will hand you an itinerary point you to the best examples.
What’s great is that the local artists responsible for these paintings, like Ana Cecilia Salinas, are active all the time, so the resort’s appearance is constantly evolving.
13. Avenida del Mar
Source: flickrAvenida del Mar
For a surreal walk, in the best possible way, get onto Marbella’s Avenida del Mar, which starts just below Alameda Park.
On this pedestrian walkway down to the sea there’s a set of ten sculptures by the 20th-century surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.
Three of these pieces depict scenes from antiquity and mythology, such as Perseus beheading Medusa, and the Roman God Mercury.
There are also two statues of the artist’s wife.
Dalí’s works are combined with sculptures by the local artist Eduardo Soriano, and there’s also a fountain at the centre of the esplanade in tribute to the architects Roberto Barrios Elisa Cepedano, who have transformed many of the newer parts of Marbella.
14. Marbella’s Old Quarter
Source: flickrOld Town, Marbella
On the other side of Alameda Park is one of loveliest locations in the entire Costa del Sol.
Marbella’s quaint old nucleus is given extra definition by the ostentatious wealth of Puerto Banús.
It’s much more like the white villages that speckle the rugged hills up from the coast; the streets are laid with red tiles kept so clean that they resemble a patio, and the white walls of the houses are livened up with mounted flower pots and bright bougainvillea.
The alleys open out onto gorgeous squares like Plaza de los Naranjos, where restaurant seating is ensconced in a lush garden.
15. Local Cuisine
Source: flickrGazpacho
If you want to feel like a true Andalusian you can also give a chance to some of the region’s specialities.
You might be familiar with many of these, like gazpacho, the cool soup with cucumber, garlic, pepper and tomato.
Ajoblanco is another soup served at room temperature and made with almonds and breadcrumbs, and then garnished with grapes.
Espetos are adored in the Málaga Province; these are sardines skewered and roasted over a wood fire, often in pits dug on the beach.
If you go out for tapas then fish or seafood deep-fried briefly in olive oil will likely be on the menu: pescaíto frito (whitebait) and chipirones (fried baby squid) are very satisfying with a cold beer or glass of crisp white wine.

There’s just something special about these narrow streets and the traditional townhouses decked out with colorful flowers and coordinating pots.
Visit Casa de las Tejerinas
The Casa de las Tejerinas plays a big part in this town’s history and is named after the two sisters – Carmen and Francisco Tejerinas – who left the house to Estepona, so it could be turned into a hospital in the 1940s – one of the much higher standards than the one around at the time.
These days, the sisters would be happy to know that their former residence is used as an exhibition and lecture space, where local and national artists come to present their books, art and music.

Marvel at Torre del Reloj
As is true for most towns, cities, and pueblos across Andalusia, Estepona is also home to Moorish monuments, the most important of which is the Torre del Reloj.
This clock tower is the only surviving part of the former Los Remedios church, originally built in 1473 and destroyed by the 1755 earthquake.
A neo-classic dome was added to the clock tower in the 18th-century and now looks over the Plaza del Reloj, which is one of those idyllic little places you stumble upon on a leisurely evening walk.
This is where many festive events are celebrated, including New Year’s Eve, when everyone gathers here to eat 12 grapes on each stroke of midnight.

Venus de Estepona – sounds mysterious, doesn’t it? If you want to learn more about this clay figure that is estimated to be more than 5,000 years old, a visit to the Archaeological museum should be on your list of priorities.
It can be found in the old part of the town, on the Plaza Blas Infantes. Known as “the old town hall”, the Casa del Ajibe holds more than 400 pieces of Estepona’s past, some artifacts of which date back more than 100.000 years.

After its destruction in the Civil War, it was rebuilt in 1936 and now features a spacious, open plaza leading up to it.

Casa del Rey: Delight on a great assortment of tapas at the Casa del Rey in Calle Rafael, a tiny side street just off Plaza de los Flores.
With its cozy indoor patio sporting a decorative mural of a tree, the restaurants’ casual chic visuals will spur the appetite for seafood crepes, shared platters of Jamon Iberico, and other specialties.
El Toque: On the other side of town, close to the Puerto Deportivo (Estepona’s harbor), you’ll find the El Toque restaurant in the Calle Guadiaro.
Translated, “el toque” means “the touch” – and boy do they have that special touch when it comes to quality and beautifully prepared tapas. From gourmet burgers to fish wraps, you can’t go wrong with any of the choices on the menu.
Day 2
Visit Dolmenes de Coromínas (Archaeological Museum)
This underground chamber situated in Los Pedegrales is home to five original dolmen stones. To this day, no one is completely certain why they were built or what purpose they served, though most archeologists believe they were funeral structures, i.e. tombs of some sort.
The Dolmenes de Coromínas is a great museum for children, as the wonderful setting of the Pedregales Park will invite you to linger. Admission is 4 Euro for children and adults.
How to get there: By car, follow the Avenida Andalucia up towards the Poligono Industrial, if you’re coming through the city, or take the motorway in direction Algeciras (not to the toll road!).
Both roads will lead you to a big roundabout next to the Poligono Industrial; from there, follow the signs to Los Pedregales. For bus tours, visit the local tourist center for offers.
Opening times: Tuesday – Sunday 9:30 – 14:00, English Tours: 11:30 (by appointment)
Enjoy the Ruta de los Murales (Mural Road)
All around town, you’ll find yourself stopping to marvel at massive murals adorning the walls of apartment blocks and buildings.
In total, you can find sixty murals in Estepona, by following the Ruta de los Murales to ensure you see every one of them.
Painted by local artists such as Dadi Dreucol, and internationally renowned artists such as Vyacheslav Gunin, you will be exposed to a variety of captivating styles.
How to get there: Pick up an informational leaflet and map at the tourist information center and plan your route according to your days’ itinerary.
Relax at Rada Beach
For a lazy beach day, head to Playa la Rada for a refreshing dip and siesta in the sun. This is Estepona’s main beach and stretches 2.5 km long from the town’s entrance on Avenida España to Punta de la Plata and has the best accessibility for wheelchairs and strollers too.
How to get there: If you’re coming from direction Malaga, take the first exit into Estepona then take the first exit off the roundabout at Carrefour for free parking.
If you’re coming from the Cadiz direction, take the Poligono Industrial exit and follow the road down into town; follow the Avenida Juan Carlos and park in the underground garage Parking Paseo Maritimo or Parking Zapallito.
If you’re more like a beach person, have a look at the best beach resorts near Seville.
Lunch at Tolone
This is far from the typical Spanish tapas bars you expect tourists to flock to but the Tolone Bar in the Calle Real/Avenida España is a popular meeting point for locals and travelers alike.
Tolone offers the perfect fusion of light lunches, homemade and finger-licking-good desserts, and a massive smoothie menu ranging from sweet delights packed with Oreos and healthy energy boosters full of fresh fruit and veggies.
The bar itself is beautifully decorated in a bohemian, artistic style and the terrace offers views of the sea.
Hiking in Natural Park Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja
With breath-taking views over Estepona and beyond, wonderful fauna, and easy footpaths all around, you cannot miss out on a hike through the Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja natural park.
Just an hour outside of Estepona, this is a beautiful mountainous and forest area that calms the senses and pleases the eyes.
How to get there: Unless you’re extremely fit and brave biking up the Sierra Bermeja, the only way to get to this natural park is by car.
Follow the Avenida de Andalusia in the direction of Genalguacil (MA 557). Turn left at the Peñas Blancas sign about half an hour outside of Estepona, then left at the sign for Lose Reales.

If you’re looking for something a little more exciting than the beach and want to enter the cool waters in exhilarating fashion, head to Aquamijas water park in Mijas.
Just an hours’ drive from Estepona in direction Malaga, Aquamijas offers a full-days’ worth of sliding and splashing fun for the whole family. Get your tickets online for great discounts!

Go Karting in Estepona
If your feet are starting to tire from walking along the Estepona seafront promenade, why not burn some rubber instead?
Head to Kart & Fun close to the Feria grounds and decide who’s going to get the next round of drinks based on who wins the race. With a track of more than 1160 meters, you’ll be sure to get your adrenaline pumping go-karting in Estepona.

Have a Paella at Taberna Miguel, Estepona
For the best paella in town, enjoy an atmospheric night at Taberna Miguel in the Calle Caridad just on the corner of Plaza Ortiz – centrally located between the Tolone Bar and Las Gitanillas.
With eye-catching décor and scrumptious dishes, Taberna Miguel is a real gem in Estepona’s gastronomy. This restaurant may be on the pricier side but the spectacular feast for both palate and eyes is way worth it.

Places to walk around in las vegas: 10 Best Stops on the Las Vegas Strip for First Timers (with map)
10 Best Stops on the Las Vegas Strip for First Timers (with map)
The Las Vegas strip is one of the most famous and more expensive streets in the world. If you come to Las Vegas for the first time, before doing all the food and gambling and partying, you must take a walking tour of the most iconic places on the Strip. There are many ways to walk the strip for the first time, but after visiting Vegas many times I have created my own beautiful walking tour of the strip. So, come along with me for a walking tour of the Las Vegas strip for first timers.
Stretching for just under 5 miles, the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada is one of the most famous streets in the world. It is a strip of the Las Vegas Boulevard, from Tropicana Avenue (and bit south of it) going north to Sahara Avenue (and a bit north of it). In addition to being famous, the Strip in Las Vegas, is probably one of the most expensive streets in the world. So, let’s put aside gambling and drinking for a while and put on some comfortable walking shoes and come along with me on my favorite walk on the Las Vegas Strip for first timers.
Walking tour map of the Las Vegas Strip
Red-see, Green-walk
With our printable walking map of Las Vegas Strip in our hands, let’s start walking and taking in all the lights and sounds. In a way this walking tour can also serve as a 1 day in Las Vegas itinerary, especially if you are tight on time. Or, to put it another way, this is your first time in Vegas checklist for 2022.
Take a tour of the Strip. If you want to take in the Las Vegas Strip in one fun-filled trip, then take the Las Vegas 3-Hour Night Tour by Open-Top Bus. This trip will give you a great introduction to the glamorous Las Vegas Strip with all the lights on at night.
Stay in Vegas. When we visit Las Vegas we usually stay at the Polo Towers right next to the strip. Their apartment rooms are a great value, especially for families. If you like a quieter place we’ve always enjoyed Cancun resort for their pool and kid friendly environment. Another budget friendly option is Park MGM (great location and price). You can also find other budget hotels in Vegas.
1. MGM Bridge
The Strip, Las Vegas, Nevada – The Strip at night from the bridge to New York, New York.
See my photos from Las Vegas Strip
I like starting my walk by crossing the bridge from MGM Grand to New York, New York and take in the sights to the north (and south). Especially at night, the lights are very impressive. If you’re staying off the Strip, and you have to drive ve in, you can park in the MGM parking lot and go out to the Strip. Then, as we get to the other side of Las Vegas Boulevard, we start walking North.
The strip in Las Vegas, Nevada is indeed spectacular at night.
See my photos from Las Vegas Strip
The Las Vegas Strip is most impressive at night. This is because all the amazing lights are on and you see how each Las Vegas resort struggles for your attention. Newer construction in Las Vegas is always bigger and better and has more lights in order to compete for you, the customer. As you cross to the other side, you can also go south a bit and explore New York, New York, especially the Brooklyn Bridge replica outside, which has restaurants and live music.
If you’re asking what to do on your first night in Vegas, I always suggest to visit the most famous resorts on the Strip starting with New York, New York and working your way up to Caesar’s Palace.
See Cirque du Soleil at MGM. The “Ka” show is a beautiful family friendly show by Cirque du Soleil at MGM. With amazing acrobatics and a completely mobile stage, “Ka” is a great show for you to enjoy while in Vegas. Get the best price for Ka Cirque du Soleil show at MGM.
2. Shopping at the Crystals
High fashion shops inside The Crystals leading to the Aria resort
See my photos from Aria, Las Vegas
As we keep walking North on Las Vegas Strip, we see the famous Las Vegas Hard Rock Café on the right across the street, but we keep walking north until we get to the Shops at Crystals. We go inside to admire the newer and high end shops inside, leading inside the Aria resort.
We don’t go inside the Aria resort (you can also go inside Aria if you are first time in Vegas), but instead we come out still further north and exit Crystals to the bridge over Harmon Avenue. We cross over the bridge and continue to stay on the same side of the strip.
3. Cosmopolitan
The Chandler is the iconic symbol of the Cosmopolitan
See my photos from Las Vegas Strip
The Cosmopolitan, like Aria, is one of the newer resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. Coming out from the Aria shopping area on the connecting bridge we come into the large Chandelier inside Cosmopolitan. If you come around breakfast time, until 11 am, you can a joy the gorgeous breakfast buffet at the Wicked Spoon inside the Cosmopolitan.
We go down the escalator, through the gambling area and exit to the North and continue walking on the Strip.
4. The Bellagio Conservatory
Beautiful gardens at The Conservatory inside The Bellagio Resort.
See my photos from The Bellagio, Las Vegas
As we continue walking north past The Cosmopolitan we come upon the impressive Bellagio. I like taking the escalators towards the Bellagio right before the amazing fountains. The escalators take us to the left and up the hill. As we walk up towards the Bellagio entrance, you have the best views of the Paris resort across the street. These are some of the best spots for great pictures and it is a must do on the Las Vegas Strip for first timers.
See Cirque du Soleil at Bellagio. A beautiful family friendly show, the “O” is my favorite Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas. Get the best ticket prices for “O” Cirque du Soleil show at the Bellagio.
Paris, Nevada – Beautiful night view of The Eiffel Tower and the Fountains at the Bellagio
See my photos from Paris, Las Vegas
Go inside the Bellagio and visit the Bellagio Conservatory, which includes gorgeous gardens that change every season during the year. Take your time and walk slowly through the beautiful flower arrangements.
Las Vegas for families.
5. Fountains at the Bellagio
The beautiful Fountains at the Bellagio water show happens many times a day.
See my photos from The Bellagio, Las Vegas
We’re coming out from inside the Bellagio and going immediately left as we exit. We will walk down and around the beautiful lake with great view of the Paris resort right in front of us. Take your time walking down and find a good spot to see the water fountain show. Simply put, the Fountains of Bellagio water show is a must see event on the Las Vegas Strip for first timers. Here is the schedule of the daily show.
The Fountains of Bellagio is a daily show in Las Vegas. The show is every 30 minutes from 3pm to 8pm Monday through Friday and every 15 minutes from 8pm to midnight. On Sundays the show starts at 11am every 30 minutes until 7pm when the show goes on every 15 minutes until midnight.
Once the water show ends, continue walking North and around the Bellagio resort. Go inside and take the escalators up and then take a right on the bridge that will take you across Flamingo Road to Caesar’s Palace resort.
Best Things to do at the Bellagio
6. Shop at the Forum
Tourneau high end watch store at Shops at the Forum
See my photos from Caesar’s Palace
As you cross over Flamingo Road you will come to Caesar’s Palace and Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant which is a great place for lunch or dinner. However, keep walking a little bit North until you come to the entrance to the Shops at the Forum. This is a beautiful place for shopping and eating and especially if you’re into shopping, this area is a must do on the Las Vegas Strip for first timers.
Walk to the end of the shops and you can checkout the large aquarium and Fall of Atlantis water and fire show. If you have small children they will like this little space inside Shops at the Forum.
Best Things to do at Caesars Palace
7. The Venetian
Street acrobat performing in Piazza San Marco inside The Venetian, Las Vegas
See my photos from Venetian, Las Vegas
As you come out of Shops at the Forum area, keep walking North a little bit until you can cross The Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard). As you cross the street, you will be right in front of the Venetian resort. There is also lots of shopping inside the Venetian, but I like to go inside and look at the gondolas and admire the pretty copy of Piazza San Marco from Venice Italy. Yes it’s fake, but pretty cool and a must visit on Las Vegas Strip for first timers.
Take a gondola ride & visit Madame Tussauds. While short, a gondola ride at Venetian is a great experience. Save money when you bundle a gondola ride with Madame Tussauds admission at Venetian.
Now, it’s time to walk back South on The Strip towards where we started off: the MGM bridge.
Best Things to See at the Venetian
8.
The LINQ Promenade
The Las Vegas High Roller seen from the LINQ Promenade
Walking South right past the oldest Las Vegas Strip resort Harrah, you will find the newer and smaller LINQ resort. Right past it turn left onto The LINQ Promenade leading to the very tall and impressive High Roller Ferris Wheel. This newer area is hip and a cool place on the Las Vegas Strip for first timers especially.
LINQ Promenade is the newest revived areas on the Las Vegas Strip. It boasts lots of restaurants run by the world’s most famous cooks like Gordon Ramsey’s Fish and Chips.
Ride the High Roller. Depending on the season, the lines at the High Roller can be long, so you can get Skip-the-Line Tickets to High Roler and avoid the crowds.
9. Paris
Beautiful water fountain in front of the Music Academy building at Paris, Las Vegas
See my photos from Paris, Las Vegas
After your fake, but entertaining taste of Italy at the Venetian, it’s time for some French taste at Paris resort. So, let’s walk back South and cross the bridge towards the iconic Paris, Las Vegas resort. Paris is also a must see resort on the Las Vegas Strip for first timers especially.
Walking South, past Harrah’s and Flamingo you will come upon Paris. Go inside, and pass through the casino floor and stop at the French restaurants right past the hotel lobby.
You will see the amazing breakfast buffet place “Le Village” and the small “Le Creperie” where you can get French crepes for both breakfast and lunch. In addition, I love getting a piece of Napoleon cake at Café Belle Madeleine paired with a good cup of coffee. Simply yummy!
Important note: Even through summer 2022, the Paris breakfast buffet is closed. I am not sure if they will ever open it again after the pandemic.
Paris, Las Vegas – Napoleon cake from Café Belle Madeleine
See my photos from Paris, Las Vegas
As you come out of Paris resort, you can look around and admire the fake iconic tourist attractions from Paris, France: the Eiffel Tower, the Arch of Triumph and the Music Academy buildings.
The Eiffel Tower at Paris Resort has a really cool viewing deck with beautiful views all around the Vegas strip. Fake again, but cool nonetheless.
See the Strip from Eiffel Tower. Crowds can be large, but you can buy Skip-the-Line tickets to the Paris Eiffel Tower viewing deck and avoid the lines.
As you come out of Paris resort, keep walking South back towards MGM Grand.
10. Miracle Mile Shops
The lights on the Las Vegas Strip are the main attraction at night
See my photos from Las Vegas Strip
On your way back toward MGM Grand. You will pass by the older Planet Hollywood resort and you can go inside the Miracle Mile area for some great shopping and restaurants which are a bit more affordable. While there is nothing super exciting about Miracle Mile, this shopping mall is a clean and modern. It is a loop, about a mile long (that’s why it’s called Miracle Mile), which has several exits back to the Strip. Then, as you come out, keep walking South and just take in all the lights and all the people walking.
Enjoy the V – Ultimate Variety Show. Right inside the Miracle Mile Shops, the V Variety Show is a great family friendly entertainment show. With acrobatics, music and comedy, the V – Ultimate Variety Show is a affordable show that our entire family enjoyed.
Plan Your Trip to the Las Vegas Strip
Stay in Vegas. In order to enjoy the Las Vegas Strip for first timers especially, you have to stay close to the strip. When we visit Las Vegas we usually stay at the Polo Towers right next to the strip. Their apartment rooms are a great value, especially for families. For even more affordable places you can search budget hotels in Vegas. With over 6000 properties you can find something for you. Just beware of the fine print because the price quoted might not include the nightly resort fee.
Rent a car in Vegas. Get a budget rental car, especially if you have extra time for enjoying a few beautiful day trips from Vegas. Driving to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and even Zion National Park can be an amazing experience.
Is it Worth Walking the Las Vegas Strip for First Timers?
I think walking the Strip is the best introduction to Las Vegas for first timers. My walking tour of the Las Vegas Strip for first timers provides also the best way to get an overview of this famous area. It contains highlights of all the major resorts on the strip, as well as a few details that will make this walking tour very enjoyable, especially if you have never been to Vegas before.
Yes, it will take you around 5 hours to complete, but you will get a good understanding about what all these resorts offer for attracting all these tourists that flock to the entertainment capital of the world, as Las Vegas likes to call itself.

Las Vegas Strip Walking Tour
If all your activity is limited to the Vegas Strip, then taking a good, long walk down Las Vegas’ Strip is ideal. Just walking down the famous Las Vegas Strip is an experience in itself and this is probably the best way to take in the architecture of the city. There is a lot to see and do. Remember, however, that the Strip is a little over 4 miles long, so plan accordingly.
The one thing you must bring on a Las Vegas Strip walking tour is the most comfortable pair of shoes you have. Make that two pairs! You are going to do more walking than you can even imagine. Shoes that are too high or tight will end your walk much sooner than you had planned.
Make regular stops. Rest whenever you can to avoid getting tired quickly, maybe get refreshments at shops along the way. Besides the mega resorts along the strip, there are a few Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy and McDonald’s along the way. After each stop, you will be able to continue with a fresh burst of energy.
Take some water with you to avoid dehydration. Take as much as you can carry comfortably and plan to buy more along the way if you run out.
In the extremely hot Summer months, spend as little time outside as possible. You may actually want to reconsider walking during those months. Las Vegas is in a desert after all, and the temperature is usually in the hundreds.
Remember to take a light sweater or jacket with you, even if it’s sweltering hot outside. It may seem nice at first when you come in from the heat, but the casinos are kept at a temperature between 76 – 78 degrees. Not good, if you happen to be wearing a tank top and shorts.
Cross the street at designated spots or use the pedestrian overpass. (check below for a list of overpass locations) Do not jaywalk. You will be hit with a heavy fine if you’re caught. As of September 2013, the fine for Jaywalking in Las Vegas was $198.00
Besides getting fined, you don’t become a statistic. Las Vegas Valley was ranked as the sixth most dangerous metropolitan area when it comes to auto-pedestrian fatalities. Traffic on The Vegas Strip is notoriously dangerous. A combination of high speeding cars, wide roads, reckless pedestrians and distracted drivers account for the high fatality rate. Only cross the Vegas Strip at designated crosswalks or over-head walkways.
Las Vegas police allow people to walk down the Strip and the Fremont Street Experience with alcoholic beverages in plastic containers (no bottles or cans). Remember, however, that this is not allowed anywhere else in the city.
Check the weather and take a map of the Strip with you so you can plan your stops. Check out the list of free attractions too. Don’t miss anything!

Free Things to Do in Las Vegas for Fun Right Now
Bellagio Las Vegas
Save your money for the slot machines or cocktails at Martha Stewart’s new restaurant. A dollar doesn’t stretch nearly as far as it used to in Las Vegas, especially in an era of high inflation. Cheap buffets and complimentary casino drinks are few and far between these days, but you can still find the occasional value. After all, some restaurants on the Strip are less expensive than others. Yet there’s one price that everyone loves: free. And in a town known for excess, there are lots of attractions and activities that don’t cost a dime. So check ’em all out below.
Topgolf | Photo by Michael Baxter, courtesy of Baxter Imaging
You don’t have to splurge on bottle service at a dayclub or even be a hotel guest to take a dip in a Strip swimming pool. The Topgolf driving range has a 21-and-over Hideaway Pool of its own—a well-kept secret that’s usually not too busy, especially on weekdays. The money saved can go toward a cabana rental (reasonable for Strip rates) or a soft pretzel charcuterie board from the food and drink menu.
The Pinball Hall of Fame is one of the museums that make Las Vegas wonderfully weird. It moved into a new, larger Strip location in 2021 and now houses vintage pinball machines (and the occasional arcade game) in an expansive 25,000-square-foot space. It’s the largest collection of its kind in the world, drawing heavily on the ’60, ’70s, and ’80s classic eras of pinball. Admission is free, but every machine can be played for 25 or 50 cents. And since the museum is a nonprofit, every coin collected goes directly to charity.
Photo courtesy of Forum Shops at Caesars
The “Fall of Atlantis” is an animatronic show that plays on the hour from noon to 8 pm (Friday–Tuesday) at the Forum Shops at Caesars. The quality falls somewhere between what you’d find at Chuck E. Cheese and Disney’s Hall of Presidents, but the combination of flames, fountains, and a giant winged dragon are enough to liven up any shopping trip.
Tickets to see a Golden Knights game at the T-Mobile Arena aren’t cheap, but here’s the next best thing—you can see the team practice for free at City National Arena in Summerlin. The schedule isn’t highly publicized, but players generally take the ice between 9 am and 11 am. Check the Golden Knights Twitter account for practice announcements. Otherwise, you can splurge a few bucks and take part in an open skate yourself and grab lunch at MacKenzie River Pizza.
The Shelby Heritage Center celebrates the legacy of Carroll Shelby and the race cars he helped design, including the iconic AC Cobra and special-edition Mustangs. Guests are welcome any time during regular hours to take a free self-guided tour (or pay for a guided one) to see more than 30 high-performance muscle cars on display and get an up-close look at the production facility next door.
Silverton Casino
The 117,000-gallon aquarium at the Silverton casino is loaded with thousands of tropical fish as well as a few stingrays and sharks. Interactive mermaid performances run throughout the day Thursday-Sunday. You can also toss a few questions to a marine biologist during regular feedings.
Thrillist TV
Circus Circus Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
Don’t have the money for a Cirque ticket? No problem. Circus Circus has a full schedule of big-top performances at the Midway every hour starting at 11:30 am Friday-Sunday and 1:30 pm Monday-Thursday. Come by and see clowns, jugglers, aerialists, and more. The Flying Poemas, a trapeze act from Argentina, provide the biggest thrills.
The artsy block party known as First Friday takes place, as the name suggests, on the first Friday evening of every month in the Downtown Arts District. Each edition follows a specific theme with featured artists, gallery exhibits, and live music. There’s also a beer garden and at least a dozen food trucks.
It’s a few miles east of the Strip, but locals love Mystic Falls, an indoor park at the Sam’s Town casino with a wild west mountain theme. Walk among the trees and you’ll hear the sounds of birds chirping, wolves howling, and a rolling waterfall underneath a towering atrium. Laser and light shows take place every other hour from 6-10 pm on weekdays and 4-10 pm on weekends.
Photo courtesy of Paris Las Vegas
The 541-foot tall Eiffel Tower replica at the Paris casino is more than just 5,000 tons of twisted steel. The exterior hosts a colorful show of twinkling lights every 30 minutes between dusk and midnight. The timing unofficially coordinates with the Bellagio fountain shows across the street, creating a lively and vibrant visual in the mid-Strip skyline.
So much Las Vegas history is overlooked, but hiding in plain sight. The Pioneer Trail is a self-guided driving tour of 16 historic sites northwest of the Strip, beginning with the Springs Preserve and ending with Biltmore Village. The experience also provides a rare look into the often underrepresented history of Black culture in Las Vegas, including the Harrison Boarding House (where entertainers of color stayed when segregated from Strip hotel rooms) and the site of the short-lived Moulin Rouge, which became the first integrated casino in 1955.
The Hand of Faith, the largest gold nugget currently in existence, weighs 61 pounds and is on display at (appropriately enough) the Golden Nugget in Downtown Las Vegas. You’ll also see a replica of it a hundred miles away in the lobby of the Golden Nugget in Laughlin.
Watch fish swim at one of three aquariums
Check out the 40,000-gallon aquarium at Bass Pro Shops (next to the Silverton), along with a waterfall, trout stream, and fun outdoorsy design. On the Strip, the Forum Shops at Caesars have their own 50,000-gallon aquarium near the Cheesecake Factory and Nike shop. Not to be outdone, the Mirage has a 20,000-gallon tank that’s a little smaller, but makes an even bolder impression as part of the decor in the hotel lobby. No matter which one you visit, expect to be greeted with a wide array of tropical fish.
Take a daytrip to Boulder City, where you can not only visit the Hoover Dam, but learn all about the iconic landmark at the free museum on the first floor of the Boulder Dam Hotel. The Boulder Dam Museum documents the engineering behind the modern marvel as well as the danger and struggles faced by the workers who built it under the hot Nevada sun. And yes, Boulder Dam was the official name before it was changed to honor the president who brought us the Great Depression.
Fremont Street Experience | Photo courtesy of Black Raven Films
The main attraction of Downtown Las Vegas is the Fremont Street Experience, a five-block pedestrian mall surrounded by neon lights and marquees. Most of it sits underneath a 1,400-foot-long canopy outfitted with the world’s largest LED screen. Dubbed Viva Vision, it utilizes more than 16 million pixels for ultra high-def imagery and trippy 3D-like effects. Themed video shows take place throughout the night, usually on the hour. The Fremont Street Experience also hosts Downtown Rocks, a free concert series by national acts throughout summer and fall.
Photo courtesy of Bellagio
As far as iconic Vegas images go, it’s hard to beat the Fountains of Bellagio. Gather around the massive lake in front of the resort and watch as more than 1,200 nozzles shoot water straight into the air with the help of 4,500 lights. Each show is set to music with songs by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Andrea Bocelli, and Celine Dion providing the soundtrack. Shows are usually every half hour in the afternoon and every 15 minutes at night, but could be cancelled at any time due to high winds.
Photo courtesy of The Mirage
The Mirage is set to become a Hard Rock hotel in the next year or two, and the property’s famous erupting volcano show is set to be demolished. Don’t pin your hopes on a petition to save the free attraction—go see it while you still can. The elaborate display produces a lava simulation (with fireballs for good measure) set to music created by Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead and Indian musician Zakir Hussain. The finale includes an eruption 60 feet into the air that’s so intense, you’ll feel the heat from inside your taxi on Las Vegas Boulevard. Shows are on the hour between 8 pm and 11 pm nightly.

St. Mark’s Square in the Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes is modeled after the Renaissance era of Venice, complete with passing gondola rides and as much historic architecture as you can manage in a shopping mall. “Streetmosphere” performers provide free entertainment, ranging from live violins to pop-opera vocal theatrics. If you actually want to spend a few bucks and grab a bite to eat, you’ve got a choice of three Italian restaurants: Brera Osteria, Canaletto, and Mercato della Pescheria.
Photo by Bryan Hainer
The Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is the setting for the Pawn Stars reality show, which runs (virtually nonstop) on the History Channel. Check it out for yourself and browse the unusual and often historic artifacts for sale. Just know there’s often a line to enter and no guarantee you’ll see anyone you recognize from TV.

The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, one of the most photographed places in Vegas, is a free floral exhibit that changes with the season, covering nearly 14,000 square feet underneath a 50-foot-high atrium. The intricate designs, featuring tens of thousands of flowers, are planned a full year in advance. Big spenders can take advantage of the Garden Table, an exclusive dining experience inside the Conservatory, which is one of the coolest things to do in Vegas right now.
The Ethel M Chocolate Factory in Henderson has free self-guided tours, where you watch candy being made from a long viewing window. Stick around and explore the four-acre Botanical Cactus Garden outside. It has more than 300 species of plants and is especially colorful when decorated for the winter holidays or the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.

Check out the vehicle affectionately known as the “Bonnie and Clyde Death Car” at Whiskey Pete’s just outside Vegas in Primm. The bullet-riddled 1934 Ford Deluxe in which the gangster duo met their demise is proudly on display in the casino. As the signs around it are eager to point out, yes this is the real thing. Whiskey Pete’s also happens to be a welcome bathroom break while driving between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
The lobby of the Wynn Hotel is loaded with trees, plants, and elaborate colorful floral installations that include a 20-foot-tall hot air balloon and a 16-foot-wide carousel. It’s not a destination as much as something to enjoy while on your way to somewhere else.
Photo courtesy of The Flamingo
The four-acre outdoor Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo is a tranquil escape from the chaos of the Strip. The collection of ponds and waterfalls is home to all sorts of exotic creatures, including birds, turtles, koi fish, and at least eight Chilean flamingos.
From the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue, you’ll quickly spot a fountain show with lights and music in front of the Wynn. It’s a whole lot smaller than what you’ll see at the Bellagio, but it’s a nice break from trekking down the Strip and the performances run nonstop. The scenery also includes two waterfalls and large pine trees. The Lake of Dreams inside the Wynn is technically free too, but it’s really a bucket-list dining experience best enjoyed with a dinner reservation.
Watch (or avoid) the street performers
Just like Hollywood Boulevard and Times Square, Las Vegas is overrun by street performers, either on the Strip or Fremont Street. Some have talent (like a handful of musicians, dancers, and magicians) while others just stand around in cheap-looking costumes. The entertainment is free to watch, but if you pose for a photo with one of them, a tip is expected.
Rest your feet with a tram ride on the Strip
If that long walk down the Strip gets to be too much, there are three free pedestrian trains to make the journey go by a little easier. One operates between Mandalay Bay and Excalibur, another travels between the Bellagio and Aria, and a third shuttles between Treasure Island and the Mirage. No charge. Just hop on board. Don’t confuse any of these with the Las Vegas Monorail on the east side of the Strip, which begins at $5 per ride.
ARIA Resort & Casino
One of the great things about the CityCenter complex is all the art on display. Wander in and out of galleries by Richard MacDonald and Elena Bulatova before heading over to the Aria where fine art installations are scattered throughout the resort. The neighboring Cosmopolitan has a self-guided art tour of its own, led by Rose, the hotel’s own chatbot concierge. Between oversize shoe sculptures in the lobby, digital pillars in the lobby, and murals in the parking garage, the art often mixes tech and pop culture with an exceptional degree of ingenuity.
CBS Television City at the MGM Grand is a full research facility where you can watch an unaired pilot that’s being considered by the network for an upcoming season. Give your feedback with the fate of future programming in your hands. You can also take part in surveys and focus groups about television, internet, and music streaming habits. You’ll be handed some vouchers and a bag of free stuff at the end. Sometimes you’ll even get paid cash.
You could say it’s a . . . miracle. The sprawling Miracle Mile Shops, which wrap around the Planet Hollywood resort, have an indoor rainstorm with shows every hour during the week and every half hour on weekends. The combination of water, lights, music, and fog is an unexpectedly fun way to break up the monotony of a shopping trip. Try not to get wet.

If you’re speeding down Interstate 15 south of Vegas and you see seven pillars of stacked rainbow-colored rocks in the middle of the desert, you’re not hallucinating. That’s a 25-foot-tall art installation known as Seven Magic Mountains. So take the next exit and doubleback for a color-filled photo session.
Photo courtesy of Las Vegas News Bureau
Snap a photo at you-know-where
You may be out of cash, but you still have a phone. So head just beyond the south end of the Strip to the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign and have your photo snapped in front of the iconic landmark. There may be an Elvis impersonator or some dude in a Big Bird costume offering to take the shot on your behalf or even pose with you. But that means handing out a tip and suddenly, it’s not free anymore, is it?

River Mountains Loop Trail
Good for Distance Riders
August, 2022 by iflytb9
I added this into a 60 mile total ride. I started at the 0 mile point and went clockwise. Not a lot of water refill spots which is a big downer. I filled up at a rest stop about 5 miles in, but the majority of the back side loop is waterless. Once you hit the boulder area there are some stores you can stop in if you need water or something. But that’s about it. I started the loop with a regular water bottle mixed with some electros and a 1.5L camel back of water. It was enough, but would have benefited from having more. I went at noon on a hot august day. Brought some cliff bars. It’s a good trail. I did the whole ride on a heavy mountain bike and it was windy. I would have preferred using my road bike, but glad I used the mountain bike because between 9 and 18 miles in, the trail was covered with a lot of rocky gravel and sand patches. That would have been tough and frustrating on a road bike. I even walked thru some heavy deep gravel on the mountain bike. It was covered so much in some areas that I thought I got of the trial somehow. Either way, it slows you down. I think the debris is the result from all the rain washing rocks onto the trail. Hopefully they clean it up soon because it’s a good trail though. Like I said I added it in, so I did 15 miles before I got there and then did the loop. If you’re not a distance rider type, then maybe think about how far you want to go before committing to the half way point. Either way, there’s plenty of ways out if you have an emergency so it’s not like you have to walk 15 miles to get help. Roads are close by. Also, the trail path kind of gets funky in Boulder City. Meaning, there’s a spot where you kind of have to know where you’re going to stay on the trail. It kind of sucks actually, so you might want to look at a map of the trail via the satellite view so you can get an idea where to go once you hit the Boulder City area. Well, those are the notables. I’ll be back at this trail because I like the distance riding without having issues with cars and traffic

Union Pacific Railroad Trail
Nice Ride In Henderson
May, 2022 by jacmar1
We were in Henderson to get 50 miles in Nevada on our quest to bike 50 miles in every state.THis was number 45 for us and we were excited to find the Union Pacific Trail.We were staying in the Black Mountain area and could ride to the Greenway entrance from the house.The trail surface is quite smooth and there a few road crossings that are well done with devices to warn cars of your crossing. Views of the surrounding mountains can be seen the entire way to the end at Railroad Casino which is approximately 5 miles.Watch those SW winds that prevail in the spring and the low humidity for those not from the area!Little extra effort can be required!The ride back to the western end is not quite as scenic but includes a park and an urban feel.If you are lucky you might just get a glimpse of the infamous Road Runner.

Must Do in Vegas
March, 2022 by acewickwire
We have completed a number of trails, including River Mountain Loop Trail, and this one of the best. Trail surface is nice and wide, mostly smooth. The trail follows the surrounding earth surface with hills, a couple short but steep and winds through the drainages. Twists here and there. Nothing boring about this one. In the summer might consider early morning or early evening…not much for shade. Fair amount of traffic from bikes, hikers, runners, etc. Go do this one!

Las Vegas Parks: 10Best Park Reviews
Get Outside and Visit One of Las Vegas’ 10 Best Parks
BY
Terrisa Meeks
Las Vegas Local Expert
Drive not far from the Strip and a different side of Las Vegas will show itself, one filled with tree-lined streets, parks and a surprising amount of natural beauty. If you’re looking for a Las Vegas park where you can enjoy some time outdoors, there’s no shortage of excellent choices.
At the Springs Preserve, visitors can learn about the history of the region, visit museums, explore botanical gardens and hike on trails. The complex is a showcase of history and nature that the whole family can appreciate. Plan on spending at least half a day here to fully explore the grounds–this is the actual birthplace of Las Vegas, where early Spanish explorers stopped for water.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, located just outside the western edge of the city, is full of natural wonders. The area is full of dramatic sandstone cliffs and rock formations. Hiking, biking and rock climbing are some of the most popular activities in Red Rock, but visitors who don’t want to hit the trail can still enjoy the Scenic Loop from their car.
Wildlife is abundant at many Las Vegas parks. Migratory birds and animals of all kinds can be seen around springs and ponds, especially early in the morning or late in the day. The variety of creatures you might spot may surprise some visitors: bunnies, lizards, bighorn sheep, peacocks and burros, among many others.

The grassy, tree-filled Floyd Lamb Park offers a great respite from the desert. Several ponds in the park support a wealth of plant and animal life, including an abundance of birds. Fishing in the stocked ponds is allowed (with a license), although no swimming or wading. The grounds are full of critters, including peacocks, geese and ducksâ” who are used to people feeding them. Be careful if you have small children because the large birds can be persistent. Paths and picnic tables make the park an attractive choice for a day of walking, picnicking or watching wildlife. Horseback rides are also offered at an equestrian center on the grounds, although an appointment is required. Also within the park’s boundaries is the historic Tule Springs Ranch, whose remaining buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Recommended for Parks because: Once a divorce resort in a prior era, Floyd Lamb Park today is a verdant park with historic buildings, ponds and miles of trails.
Terrisa’s expert tip: One of the entrance points into the new Tule Springs National Monument is a short drive from Floyd Lamb Park. Continue north on Durango past the park to where the road ends at Moccasin, and you’ll see the badlands of the Monument.

Located just down the road from Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area on Highway 159, Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is a small oasis in the dry Mojave Desert. Natural springs have attracted people from the early Native Americans through more modern times when pioneers and ranchers settled here. Historic buildings, some dating to the 1860s, are located throughout the ranch’s acreage. Grassy meadows, trees from a former orchard, and hiking trails surround the main ranch house. Picnic areas offer visitors a place to enjoy lunch. The dramatic Wilson Cliffs offer a backdrop of vertical sandstone. A red one-story ranch house is the centerpiece of the park, and it has a history of famous owners, including Howard Hughes and Vera Krupp. The interior has been preserved, and also acts as a visitor center. Guided tours are available, and docents are on hand to answer questions.
Recommended for Parks because: The historic grounds at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park are a wonderful place to enjoy a picnic or a hike.
Terrisa’s expert tip: The small town of Blue Diamond is few miles down the road from Spring Mountain Ranch, and it recently opened a new cafe, Cottonwood Station, where you can stop for coffee, a drink or a meal.

Located in the heart of Summerlin–an area that’s home to many parks–the Gardens Park is in a great central location for the area and offers plenty of amenities for a picnic or family outing. The park has picnic areas, open fields, basketball courts, horseshoe pits, tennis courts and even a bocce court. If you didn’t bring your lunch, don’t worry.

Opinions of travelers
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area – spectacular rock formations of bright red sandstone and gray limestone are located west of Sin City. The walls of the canyon are decorated with petroglyphs. A lot of wild animals live in the canyon. If you’re lucky, you might meet them.
Red Rock Canyon is very close to Las Vegas
There are two options to explore Red Rock Canyon: take easy and short walks or drive along the scenic road, stopping at the lookouts. The length of the ring road through the park is 21 km, the traffic is one-way.
Valley of Fire
Valley of Fire State Park is located northeast of Las Vegas and is named after the fiery sandstone formations. To see the Valley of Fire in the best light, it is better to arrive early in the morning – from 7 to 10 o’clock or before sunset. In summer, don’t forget to bring plenty of water with you and wear hats: it’s very hot in the park. The best time to visit the Valley of Fire is spring and autumn.
Mind-blowing rock formations in Valley of Fire
In the Valley of Fire park near Las Vegas, in addition to unusual and even fantastic formations, you can see ancient petroglyphs (for example, on the Atlant rock). Don’t miss the symbol of the park – Mount Elephant. There is also a swirling wave, a pink canyon that strikes with a combination of different colors and other amazing sandstone figures.
A number of films have been filmed in the Valley of Fire, including the role of Mars in Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger. This location was also used for one of the Star Trek episodes.
Floyd Lamb Park
-west of Las Vegas with picturesque ponds where you can fish (if you have a license), watch peacocks, ducks and geese, play volleyball, wander among the trees and have a picnic. It will be especially good to visit this park, tired of the Nevada heat. The peaceful lake, however, is still valuable for archaeologists: there are evidence of life thousands of years ago.
Bonnie Springs Ranch
Bonnie Springs Ranch
Bonnie Springs Ranch is a wild west and old Nevada style ranch located west of Las Vegas. By visiting this amusement park, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a western. Here you can ride a horse and a pony, take a train and even visit the zoo, whose stars are Canadian lynxes. Children will especially appreciate this trip.
Tip: Bonnie Springs Ranch can be visited along with Spring Mountain Ranch and Red Rock Canyon.
Spring Mountain Ranch
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park (Spring Mountain Ranch State Park) is a great place located west of Las Vegas near Mount Wilson, offering hiking and great views. In addition, here you can visit the historic ranch, cemetery, forge and beautiful Lake Harriet. In the summer there is a musical theater.
Important: Historic Spring Mountain Ranch can be visited along with Red Rock Canyon and Bonnie Spring Ranch.
Mount Charleston
Mount Charleston (Mount Charleston) is located northwest of Las Vegas. Arriving here in the summer, you can experience relief from the heat: a cool wind blows in the mountains, pine trees grow, wild animals walk. On Mount Charleston, there are many hikes, including those leading to the top of the mountain (height 3,575 meters, and the length of the hikes is 14 and 18 km). You can also have a picnic and even stay overnight at the campsite if you have a tent with you. And in autumn you can catch bright leaves on the trees, which, of course, is unexpected for Nevada. If you are in Vegas in the winter, then you can come to Charleston to ski or snowboard.
Where to go from Las Vegas for 1 day
And here is a list of attractions, for each of which you need to set aside a full day. Even if you return back to Las Vegas in the late afternoon, you will be tired and hardly want to go to the casino or look at the fountains of the Bellagio Hotel.
Death Valley
View of Dante – an observation point on the valley and salt marsh in Death Valley
Death Valley National Park is one of the most famous national parks, which is located northwest of Las Vegas in California. The valley is known for its relentless heat and fantastic scenery. Despite the harsh name and heat, Death Valley is a must-see for all lovers of nature and unusual places.
Interesting facts: Death Valley is the lowest place on the North American continent – the level below the World Ocean is in the Badwater salt basin. .
All the attractions of the park are incredibly diverse. These are multi-colored badlands, salt marsh, Ubehebe crater, Scotty’s castle. If you rent a four-wheel drive car, you can go to the Racetrack, a flat, dry lake and check if stones are moving on its surface (this is best done in the spring).
Our recommendation: If you leave Las Vegas still dark and make it to Death Valley by dawn at Zabriskie Point, you can see amazing badlands in all its glory.
Rhyolite
Rhyolite (Rhyolite) is an abandoned city in Nevada northwest of Vegas. Such cities are called ghost towns. Once they had their meaning, and then they were empty and now they stand as a reminder of the past. Rhyolite was built at the beginning of the 20th century, during the Gold Rush, as a town of miners working underground to extract the rhyolite rock. The city even has an abandoned station that served the railroad to Las Vegas.
Ghost town Rhyolite
Rhyolite’s fame was short-lived. As soon as the main deposit was depleted, people left the city. Another indirect reason why Rhyolite was empty was the San Francisco earthquake and the financial panic that followed.
Now tourists can come and walk among the ruins of the town. By the way, the movie “The Island” with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson was filmed here.
Recommendation: a visit to the city of Rhyolite is best combined with a trip to Valley C dead.
Grand Canyon – West Rim & Skywalk
Grand Canyon West Rim is the closest section of the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas, located two hours southeast of Sin City in Hulapai territory. Not the best road leads there, so be careful. A visit to this part of the canyon is limited to several viewing platforms, including the famous Skywalk with a transparent floor.

Grand Canyon
Where to stay near the Grand Canyon:
We are in the Grand Canyon
Theoretically, you can drive the car to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas in one day, leaving early in the morning and returning late in the evening and driving a car for 9-10 hours, and at the edge of the canyon just two or three hours. But is it worth it? It is much better to come here in the afternoon, walk around, meet the sunset, enjoying the impressive changing colors of the canyon during the day. It is better to spend the night in the park itself or nearby. And in the morning, arrive at dawn and walk along several hiking trails, and only then return to Vegas.

The most interesting places in Las Vegas.
City-fairytale, a city that offers just an unreal amount of entertainment, and simply wonderful places for tourist visits. Enchanting shows, exciting extreme entertainment, the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon, the Valley of Death and the Valley of Fire, all this gives you an incredible Las Vegas. But many tourists are wondering how ordinary people can live here, because everything is very expensive in the holiday city? Unfortunately, the question remains unanswered, because we are tourists and travelers who just love to relax! So, let’s start with those places that you can visit without the participation of guides and paid expensive excursions, but simply on your own, at minimal cost.
Death Valley National Park. Despite the fact that the park valley is the most unique place on the territory of Nevada, a fairly large number of tourists and travelers simply ignore hiking in the national park. Death Valley covers an area of about 14 thousand square kilometers, and is considered the hottest point in the Western Hemisphere. In addition, it is also the lowest point, which is often called a hot frying pan, because the valley heats up to 50 degrees Celsius.
The area is surrounded by mountains, so there are a large number of birds and reptiles, as well as some species of mammals that have managed to adapt to such hot climatic conditions.
Tourists have an amazing opportunity to visit this place, see all its bizarre animals, as well as unique plant species, most of which are considered endemic, and are found only here. You can see how the Indians of the Timbisha tribe live, because they not only managed to survive in such a heat, but also grow vegetables and livestock, which is simply amazing. Do you want to see living stones that can move along the bottom of a dried-up lake? Then this place is exactly for you.
The national park is also a very mysterious place, because on its territory there are even ghost towns that are extinct after the gold rush.
Admission: $20.
Opening hours: from 8:00 to 17:00.
Hoover Dam. This is a truly amazing, very large-scale structure, 221 meters high. The Hoover Dam is located on the California-Nevada border. Initially, the project was planned to be called the Boulder Dam, but after the dam became a crossing over the Black Canyon, it was called the Hoover Dam, in honor of the current president at that time. It was after this that the Americans began to call almost all large objects by the names of the presidents acting at the time of construction.
Moreover, initially it was planned to build a conventional dam here, which would produce electricity. But contemporaries insisted that the dam be built in a beautiful art deco style. Thus, today we see clock towers here, tourists and excursion groups can visit the dam, and an industrial museum is also open here.
Admission fee: free of charge.
Address: 1305 Arizona Street Boulder City.
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, from 9:00 to 18:00.
Vintage Car Museum. The museum is located in one of the many casinos in Las Vegas, namely the Imperial Palace Casino. This is just a paradise for fans of these vintage cars, because they are really very rare and vintage, and here they are collected in one place. The museum’s collection includes about 250 unique rare cars that tourists can admire.
There’s Hitler’s Mercedes, Jana Kennedy’s Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe’s Cadillac. As well as truly unique cars, such as the Packard, which belonged to the Japanese emperor Hirohito (1935), as well as Rolls-Royce, which flaunted Tsar Nicholas II (the release of the car dates back to 1914).
Cost of admission: adults – about $ 9, children and seniors – 5.
Address: 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard South.
Working hours: seven days a week, from 10:00 to 18:00.
Ethel M Chocolates: chocolate factory and cactus garden. A very original place to visit, because it is not at all clear how Americans combine a walk through chocolate factories and places where cacti grow. But let’s see what’s on offer.
The founder of the factory is Forrest Mars Sr., who named the factory after his mother. the factory itself opened its doors in 1981, where to this day everyone’s favorite chocolate bars around the world, Snickers and Milky Way, are produced.
This place is very popular among tourists and travelers, because you can not only see how the famous bars are made, but also buy your own delicacies and try sweet products.
But just next to the production of sweets is a cactus garden, which covers an area of about a hectare of land.
Here you can admire the view of more than 300 species of cacti that grow in the American deserts, as well as in Australia and the territories of the South American continent.
Address: 2 Cactus Garden Drive, Henderson.
Admission fee: free of charge.
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday, from 8:30 to 16:30.
Museum of Erotic Heritage. Surprisingly enough, but it is in Las Vegas that there is a similar museum. Another more interesting fact is that the creator of the museum is a priest who was sent by the church to work with homosexuals in order to guide them on the right path. While working with people of non-traditional sexual orientation, the priest realized how important it is to engage in educational activities. Of course, he failed to convince gays to become heterosexuals, but the idea of creating a museum came to mind. The priest himself, his entire family, as well as professionals in the porn field worked on its creation.
The walls of the museum are covered with photographs and posters of erotic content, as well as posters from Playboy magazine. The exhibits are sculptures, paintings, toys of a similar theme, which also contribute to raising the morale of American soldiers.
There are also separate exhibitions dedicated to various topics, such as toilet humor. When each visitor can contribute to the museum exposition.
Address: The Erotic Heritage Museum, 3275 Industrial Road.

Walk through Flamingo Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo Hotel to see beautiful birds in their four acre gardens. It’s a real treat for toddlers to see flamingos, other exotic birds, turtles and fish while watching the gentle streams and waterfalls.
32. Find sweets in Hershey’s Chocolate World
A tour of Hershey’s Chocolate World. is completely free if you can manage the expectations of cocoa children on the way back. There are paid events inside (chocolate is incredibly expensive), but just soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the 800-pound chocolate Statue of Liberty won’t cost you a dime.
33. Wow incredible dancing Bellagio Fountains
Watch the Bellagio fountains dancing outside the Bellagio Hotel. This fully choreographed performance is a spectacle that you can watch for free. The show runs every 30 minutes, so just come and watch!
34. Stroll through the tranquil Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden
While you’re there, take a look at the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Garden, another free offer at the Bellagio Hotel. The 14,000-square-foot botanical garden rotates five times a year depending on the season, with a special event held to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Kids will love the colorful displays made from thousands of flowers and plants, and the fresh floral scents are delightful.
35. Watch the acrobats fly at the Circus Circus shows.
Every day there are free circus shows at Circus Circus. The shows only last about 15 minutes, but if you want acrobatics without the Cirque du Soleil prices, head to the Carnival Midway Center Stage.
36. Visit the famous Seven Magic Mountains
We’re directing you to the Interstate just south of Las Vegas, but it’s better than it sounds. Back in 2016, Swiss artist Hugo Rondinone installed his Seven Magic Mountains near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, and they became so popular that they outlasted the original two-year permit.
These stacked stone pillars are only 10 miles from town, and their luminous colors shine against the rusty backdrop of Nevada. There are no tickets or entry fees here, just good old mystery desert art where you and the kids can take pictures.
37 Container Park Treehouse and Play Area
Need a break from the heat or maybe even kids? The Container Park is an open-air shopping area with plenty of shade, overlooking the treehouse and play area. Let the kids roam inside while you enjoy some well-deserved rest and maybe even a saucy mojito.
The play area itself includes a huge slide and several games to keep the kids fully engrossed. This is a great option when you need an hour to catch your breath between classes.
38 Watch the volcanic eruption at the Mirage Hotel.
If you’re a big fan of fire and drums, you’ll love the volcano show near the Mirage Hotel. You can watch a choreographed performance of artificial fire and brimstone for free, one of the most popular free entertainment in Las Vegas, and the kids will love it.
39. Let yourself take a look around Ethel M Chocolate Factory
Self-guided tours of the Ethel M Chocolate Factory are completely free, making it a great Las Vegas family getaway. We hope you’ll see the chocolatiers creating the famous Ethel M chocolates and caramels, and then you can get outside to stroll through one of the largest cactus gardens in America.
40 Meet the mermaids at the Silverton Hotel.
The mermaids at the Silverton Hotel & Casino have been delighting guests for years and are one of the free things not to be missed in Las Vegas with kids. You can walk around their 117,000 gallon home and interact with them through the glass. Your kids will be delighted!
41. Salute another red, white and blue Eiffel Tower Light Show
When the sun goes down and the lights come on in Las Vegas, the light show at the Eiffel Tower in Paris starts with performances every 30 minutes.

We had an AMAZING vacation celebrating our father’s 70th! We did do club level which was worth it because Magna was delicious ( we ate there twice for breakfast and twice for dinner). If you dont do club level, Chez was spectacular as well. Also, no reservations were required… we did wait a bit at chez but we had a group of 6 so that made it more difficult, but we had a great time enjoying drinks while we waited. I honestly couldn’t believe the food that this resort provides. Even the pizza and tacos by the pool were great! Everything was pristine, service was wonderful, and the beach was beautiful. I cannot rave enough about this place! The only bad thing was that now im going to compare every other place I stay at to them! We will definitely be back.

This was our second visit to this property and we loved it even more than the first time. Outstanding service everywhere we went, with a big thank you to Raul on the beach service! We looked forward to seeing his smiling face each day on the beach. We loved the shows and entertainment each day, and our favorite night was the Mexican heritage night. Can’t wait to be back again!

This was my first inclusive experience, and I loved it so much I am planning future trips in their other locations. The room is amazing with a huge walk-in shower and the jetted tub was perfect for late night drinking and snacking from the taco truck. The staff is so attentive. They never make you feel awkward or press for tips or upgrades. Caesar at the Martini bar was super knowledgeable, and my boyfriend loved trying all the mezcal they had in stock. The food was amazing. I didn’t really have a bad experience anywhere. I will say that the ribeye at The Grill was my favorite—so delicious! They brought me many sauces when I couldn’t make up my mind. Entertainment was pretty fun. There was a decent variety of music each day from Michael Jackson to traditional Mexican dancing to Broadway etc…..my only regret was not doing more of the tennis clinics. We only did one, but it was very beneficial, and I learned a lot during the hour long instruction. There was absolutely no trouble checking in or out, and I definitely would return! They have probably spoiled me, and now I will compare all other experiences to this one!

It’s really hard to find a fault with the resort. They really set the bar high. Been to several resorts like Aqua live, TRS coral, Secrets, plus….. and this resort is still my 1st choice and my family, tk to the service provided by CEASAR ( sum- sum) the main lobby bar tender. He literally runs it by himself and make everyone happy. The resort is flawless still modern looking and well maintained. Food great, drinks top shelf , well the best you will find in an all inclusive resort.

I really enjoyed the stay. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The food was pretty good for all inclusive and the drinks were delicious. The room was very clean and furniture in excellent condition. Housekeeping services the room daily with turn down service in the evening. The only one downside is the bathroom is not very private but it was still very nice and not a deal breaker by any means. I can’t wait to visit again.

Thank you Excellence for making this one of the best trips I’ve ever had to Mexico. The service was excellent, everyone was so friendly and polite. The entertainment was everything. The hotel was so clean. Every bathroom I entered smelled amazing and was well kept. Some of my favorite people were Caesar, Monica, Isaac and the pool boy (can’t remember his name). If you get a chance to go to Mexican night… it’s a must. The silent party was fun as well. So many great singers and performers. I can’t stop thinking about this place. I will def be back. The only con I have was the water temperature in the shower, it never really got hot, it was always cool. I didn’t address it with anyone so I guess I wasn’t too concerned with it right? Lol. This place is a 10/10 recommend. There was never a dull moment. Top notch.

Where is Playa Mujeres? – Hola Weddings
Are you wondering about the difference between Playa Mujeres and Isla Mujeres? Keep on reading to discover what and where is Playa Mujeres, the newest and hottest destination for all inclusive destination weddings.
This area is a gated community located a few miles north of the famous Cancun hotel zone. This exclusive area is comprised of luxurious all inclusive hotels, a golf course, a marina, and a few private residences.
The entrance into the area has a 24-hour security gate so only residents, guests of the hotels or golf course and their employees are allowed access.
Contrary to the high rise and proximity of the hotels in Cancun, the hotels in Playa Mujeres and Costa Mujeres, and tend to be spread out. As a result, you have a more intimate and secluded feel.
Where is Playa Mujeres located on a map?
You’ll find the gated area, just north of Cancun and the Cancun hotel zone, built around the golf course, but also bordered by the beach. It is a peninsula that extends into Costa Mujeres and then ends with Isla Blanca.
What is the Airport for Playa Mujeres?
The main airport used to arrive at the area is Cancun International airport. Therefore, you will then need to take an airport shuttle, private transfer, or rent a car to arrive at your hotel.
How can I get there?
You need to get an airport transfer or rent a vehicle as there is no public transportation into the gated community.
What is the beach like in Playa Mujeres?
The beach is long, white and the water is turquoise and clear right off the shore. There are no rocks and swimming access is easy. From most areas of the beach, you can see an island across the way and that is Isla Mujeres.

Is there seaweed on the beaches in the area?
Well, that is a hard one to answer. To be honest, it depends on a lot of factors and nature is hard to predict. We can say that the seaweed problem has been a lot less prevalent in Playa Mujeres than the Riviera Maya with little to none.

A post shared by Destination Wedding Planners (@holawedding) on
What does it mean?
Firstly, mujeres (moo-hair-ez) means Women. And, secondly, playa means Beach. The island you see from the beach is, in fact, Isla Mujeres, which was named for its multiple statues of women found throughout the island. So, since it has a view of the island, it developed this name.
Are Isla Mujeres and Playa Mujeres the same thing?
No, Isla Mujeres is the island, only accessible via ferry. The area Playa Mujeres is driveable, and from the shores, you can see the island.
What are the best activities to do in the area?
If you are staying at a hotel in in the area, most tours will pick up from your hotel lobby. The closest activities, if you don’t want to stray too far from your home base are catamaran trips, which leave from the Amada Marina or you can golf at the Playa Mujeres Golf Course.

Do the hotels include golf at the Golf Club?
Well, yes and no. Some hotels, like Atelier, do have special packages which will include golf. The AmResorts (Dreams and Secrets) do include green fees, but there are certain extras to be paid on top of that, so although the green fee is free, you have to pay for your cart.

Review: Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun
No one was more surprised than I was to find myself headed to Cancun for the second time in six months. But in COVID times it was one of the simpler options, so the question was whether to stay again at the stunning LeBlanc, or try somewhere new. I ultimately decided to give Excellence Playa Mujeres (my second choice) a try, and wanted to provide a detailed review!
If you want to read more about my personal experience at EPM (more narrative, the routine I fell into, just more personal overall), I’ve got that for you. This post is a more formal, detailed review of specific parts of the resort experience.

I’ll go MUCH more in-depth about the room, resort grounds, pools, beach, food and drinks, Excellence Club, and more below…with LOTS of pictures so you can really get a feel.
It’s quite a lot of info, but that’s because when I was doing my own research on resorts in the Cancun area, I had trouble finding really helpful details (particularly recent ones) to help me make my decisions.
But in case you’re short on time, here’s the TL;DR version…
See my direct comparison of Excellence Playa Mujeres vs. LeBlanc Cancun
Okay, diving in to the details…here’s what we’ll cover in this EPM review:
First, a few miscellaneous thoughts and tips for your trip…I was there in late May 2021, and all the staff were wearing masks but no guests were. For me, that was good news, but if you’re concerned about it you should know.
There’s a Facebook group called “We Love Excellence Playa Mujeres” that is SO helpful! I didn’t find out about it until partway through my trip, but it would be really valuable for your pre-trip planning. I recommend joining it!
The resort has gotten rid of all plastic straws. But they don’t have any alternatives (paper, bamboo, etc.). There are just literally no straws at the resort. If you care about that at all (I DO!!!) I recommend bringing your own. These metal ones are great. Also, it would be helpful to have clips to hold your towel to pool chairs. Many people bring their own insulated cups as well.

The complimentary transfer
My booking came with a complimentary transfer to and from the airport, and I used Seasons like they recommended. In your resort confirmation there’s the info you need to contact them about your transfer.
I emailed them and didn’t get a response back for a bit (maybe a week?) but then followed up about a week before my trip and they responded quickly. The process was seamless and I had no trouble finding them at the airport. Seasons was easy to use, nice clean cars, and the drivers were courteous.

Should you get Excellence Club?
So one of the main decisions you’ll need to make—other than the type of room—is whether you want to have Excellence Club (EC) or not. As opposed to many other resorts, this isn’t some club you join or pay for access to long-term, but rather a level of room you book.
Now it’s important to know that the ROOMS themselves aren’t different. They’re the same as non-EC, though in slightly better locations in my opinion. But there are a few big perks that come with it. The biggest ones are access to Excellence Club lounge, Magna restaurant and bar area, and Excellence Club-only pools and beach areas.
You also get private check-in and check-out. I knew I wanted Excellence Club (especially for the more private, chill pool areas) and that’s what I booked, and so I was whisked upstairs when I arrived, offered champagne, and checked in. This is the Excellence Club lounge and bar area.

Below is an example of one of the Excellence Club pools (building 7, the view from my room). The EC pool areas are small (feel a bit claustrophobic) but nice and private, and for someone like me who didn’t want the more party-like atmosphere and crowds of the main pool, this was a draw.
One of the biggest differences is the beach area, and you can see from the third pic below that the Excellence Club beach area has upgraded loungers, beach bags, and Bali beds.
They will constantly come and ask your room number when you arrive and throughout the day to make sure only EC people are in the EC pools and beach areas, and your room key gives you access to Magna.

Magna was my favorite restaurant on the resort, and is exclusive to Excellence Club. I ate there twice for dinner and twice for breakfast. The service there was great, food really solid, and you have slightly more options for wines that don’t cost extra (you can at least pick between varietals, rather than just “red or white”).

On my last night the staff put a nice message in rose petals on my table (“CBS”, which means “come back soon”), and on my dessert.
The pool concierge at my Excellence Club pool also gave me a “coco loco” (coconut monkey filled with a piña colada since I’d been drinking those all week) and a beautiful towel message on my last day. I’m assuming that’s all EC “special touches” but I don’t know that for sure.

The rooms at EPM
I booked an Excellence Club Junior Suite Ocean View room. The room was very nice, comfortable, clean, and had a good seating area. I really liked that they not only had a little table and chairs but also a comfy bed out on the balcony for chillin’. I spent a LOT of time out here!
If the bellboy doesn’t mention it when they bring you to the room, you can ask them to turn the air down to 64 which apparently is the lowest it goes. It does not feel like 64 but it’s way better. And many people recommend using something called Damp Rid to help with the humidity (I didn’t and I was fine, but can see how it would be nice).

I never used my little jacuzzi tub but it was really cute and has a great view. I *did* use the little leather card holder they left me, for my room keys, to keep them from getting de-magnetized. I believe the in-room alcohol bottles are a little bit better with Excellence Club as well, but can’t confirm.
The little petits four they left every night with turndown service were beautiful, though all were way too sweet or stale for me. Really pretty though.
Every morning I’d be up early, make myself some espresso (they have in-room Nespresso machines), and sit out on the balcony.
I ordered pastries from room service the night before to be delivered at a certain time, though they weren’t great. When I remembered, I’d grab a couple pastries at the coffee shop before going to bed, to have with my coffee in the morning.

The resort grounds
The resort is a circular maze, and I’m positive I never got to every part of it. The grounds are beautiful and very well-cared for, with interesting landscaping…it all feels very lush!
Beyond the main building, which has the lobby, several restaurants, Excellence Club lounge, and Martini Bar (on the bottom floor), the resort is oriented around the main pool and Lobster House restaurant. The restaurant sits on a little island within the pool, so always has great views.
The “lazy river” pool (it doesn’t move on its own, so the name can be a little misleading) then kind of winds around the outside of the main pool, and there are cute little walkways and bridges to take you to different parts of the resort. They give a feeling of whimsy over only having sidewalks.

This is the inside of the main building, as you can see it’s really lovely. Excellence Club lounge, Magna, and a couple other restaurants are on level 2, the lobby and some restaurants on the main level, and then Martini Bar, some restaurants, and shops on the bottom floor. This is a major congregating area in the evening.
The third pic below is the Plaza Prelude, where there’s a good bar, evening entertainment, the taco truck (which I never got to try), and then the coffee shop Aroma is on the opposite side of the plaza.

The pools at Excellence Playa Mujeres
Okay, some of the really important stuff…because as I mentioned in my LeBlanc Cancun review, I am really here for the pools! The pools at EPM are all pretty, but particularly the main ones. The Excellence Club pools aren’t anything special, other than being more private.
The club pools don’t get much sun in the early morning or late afternoon (pool 8 gets more in the morning at least). Generally speaking sun is a little hit and miss in the late afternoon anyway, because the sun has gone behind the big buildings.
The main pool right around the Lobster House is definitely where the action’s at, much more “bumpin’” (do people still say that??). That doesn’t mean it’s like college kids spring break or anything, just that there’s more of an upbeat party atmosphere, very social, they have activities throughout the day and a DJ.
It’s a grown-up party, but still a party. So for me that’s a hard pass as I’m 80 years old inside…all I want to do is read my Kindle in peace, get a tan, and drink piña coladas!

My biggest issue with the pools at EPM? The pools all have palapa-style umbrellas (with thatched covering), which LOOK very cool but are not terribly practical. They can’t be lowered or moved depending on what kind of sun coverage you want. That makes it a little tricky if you’re (like me) going to be at the pool all day, because the sun moves a ton and you have to keep moving your chair around, or try and find a new chair (which is difficult, particularly if the resort were at capacity).
The other minor thing is that the pool lounge chairs are decent but have a huge gap when flat. I always had to lay on them backward whenever I was on my stomach because otherwise it was super uncomfortable. A small thing, but just a note.
I did try out the hammocks for a hot minute, because I knew @sjems5 would kill me if I didn’t. It’s a really cool option to have, and for some people I can see them spending a lot of time here. I was more worried I’d dump my Kindle in the pool!
There are some Bali beds (with covering/curtains) around the main pools that are first-come/first-served too, so get out early if you want those!
As I mentioned, I spent most of my time at the Excellence Club pool (building 8), which has its own bar and concierge. Gimme those pineapple mojitos!!
From a location standpoint, the EC pool at building 7 is super chill, no music playing even, but doesn’t have a bar. That’s the main reason I chose the one at building 8, so I could get drinks and food easier. You can order some food out at the pool, it’s a fairly limited menu but a good option to have (get the quesadillas!).

The beach at EPM
This might be make-or-break for some people. Basically, the beach at Excellence Playa Mujeres is nice enough, but definitely not amazing.
And there are a LOT of amazing beaches in this part of Mexico, so if that’s really important to you, I’d maybe look for a different resort (the main Cancun hotel zone and Playa Del Carmen both have lovely beaches…check out LeBlanc or Royal Hideaway Playa del Carmen).
The beach, since it faces east, gets good sun in the early morning and midday. It also has amazing sunrise views. It has the same palapa umbrellas and sun lounge chairs as the pools do. It also has (at least in the Excellence Club areas) sun beds (first pic below) and Bali beds (second pic below). One note, neither of the bed types can be adjusted up or down, they are what they are.
Here’s what the beach looks like during the day. Now, I’m not sure if the sargassum (seaweed algae stuff) might have been just as bad at any other resort at this particular time (late May 2021). They do comb the beach every morning, basically pushing the seaweed right up to the edge of the waves.
But even in the middle of the day it never had that beautiful open beach feel, with lots of different colors of green and blue, that you can see in the two resorts I linked above, or at Isla Mujeres at the end of this post. I just don’t think the beach is a selling point here. For me, it’s not my #1 consideration so that’s fine. If I’d had @sjems5 with me, it would have been a dealbreaker for her.

The service
You can’t do a review of Excellence Playa Mujeres without talking about the staff and service, since it’s one of the biggest things they say is a selling point, and that people talk about afterward. Overall I found the staff here to be super friendly, always smiling, and eager to help. Shoutout to Martha and Antonio at pool 8!
One thing that was a little weird is that I sometimes felt ignored by servers when I was trying to get their attention, whether at the pool or in restaurants. I wondered if it was because I was alone? I just could see them checking on everyone but me, which was strange. I think that nice resorts in general struggle to know what to do with single people/solo travelers. Strangely I felt more comfortable as a single person at Leblanc even though I was literally the only solo person there at the time.
Something that started make me laugh was that I was asked constantly whether I had any food allergies. I totally appreciate them asking, but what was funny is that I was asked when I checked in (and it was noted on my account), and then LITERALLY every time I went to a restaurant, both the hostess asked me and noted it, and then the server would ask me again at my table. I started to get the giggles anytime I was asked.
One thing I did NOT like was that some of the staff was pressuring me to fill out reviews right in front of them…daily at the pool area, at the snorkeling on the boat, etc. This isn’t the staff’s fault, because from what they told me, they have quotas of reviews tied to their jobs, which is ridiculous. So this is a management issue but put a bad taste in my mouth (and made me distrust reviews I saw a little more).

Food & drinks
I’m going to do a MUCH more in-depth review of the restaurants and bars at Excellence Playa Mujeres, including diving into different food and drinks I loved (and what I didn’t). So here I’ll just provide an overview. Dinner reservations are not required (and in fact you can’t make them in most cases), so it’s first-come, first-served. I always went right at 6:00 when they opened.
First off, a PSA: There are no straws at the resort. Period. So if you care about having a straw, bring your own.
As I mentioned early in this post, Magna was my favorite restaurant overall, and it’s Excellence Club-only. Some of my fave dishes were the foie gras toast with candied pear, salmon appetizer, and the scrambled eggs with mushrooms and truffle oil. They had good cocktails and better wine too.
My second-favorite restaurant was Basmati, which was delicious and had great service (shouts to Efrain!). Among the other restaurants, Chez Isabelle was good overall, though I found the appetizers strong but the main dishes just okay (this was a common theme for me with restaurants at EPM). Service here felt rushed and perfunctory. Spice was just okay, though the rice pudding (like kheer) was awesome and the sushi was good.
Overall, EPM had a lot bigger focus on cocktails and alcohol options than other resorts I’ve stayed at, which was great to see for someone who is not a tequila fan. Martini Bar had interesting cocktails (and quite a few gin cocktails), the bar in Excellence Club had some great ones, and then I honestly mostly got drinks out at the pool.
I was SUPER bummed that they didn’t have the gin cart when I was there, but hopefully that comes back soon? I think it might have been a COVID casualty.

I only ate at Lobster House a couple times and never found The Grill, so can’t speak to it. The fish tacos were pretty good, and the salmon tataki (slightly weird texture but great flavor). I just didn’t feel like taking time to go have a real lunch, since I usually had two breakfasts 🙂
Okay, let’s talk casual/fast food options. The food available to order poolside food was fairly limited and standard, but enough choices. The quesadilla was decent, guacamole edible but really needed salt. Nachos were terrible.
I also REALLY struggled with room service. First, the good things—the room service menu is large and varied, and it’s really prompt. You also have a box in your room where you can have them leave your food if you don’t want to answer the door (I loved this touch, very convenient). However, I ordered breakfast multiple times, dinner and dessert a couple times, and the food sadly was, without fail, terrible.
My advice is to stick to restaurants, or if you’re getting room service, things like smoothies or the smoked salmon bagel (both are hard to mess up and were good).
I did want to give a shout-out to one of my favorite places, Aroma! This is the coffee shop at the resort, the only place to get good coffee. They also have decent pastries (pineapple horseshoe!), great little desserts later in the day (get the fruit tart!). And I lived on the iced macadamia nut lattes…I just wish they opened an hour earlier!

Activities & excursions
EPM has a ton of different types of activities and also provides access to a lot of (paid) excursions. I believe non-motorized watersports are free, which is a big draw for people.
My #1 tip: book things ahead!! If there are activities you want to do, like the Mojito class (which they only offer certain days), or any spa treatments, you absolutely need to make sure you book ahead. Even for the hydrotherapy treatment that comes with EC rooms…I called Wednesday evening and they didn’t have anything Thursday or Friday morning, and said that actual spa services were booked even further out.
They have a lot of activities throughout the day and in the evening, everything from yoga to kayaking to beach games to quiz games. If you’re looking for a place with lots to do so you don’t get bored, Excellence definitely might be the place for you. Then they have things like cocktail classes, wine tastings, etc. that have a small fee (like $25) and need to be booked.
I didn’t try any of the spa services, so can’t speak to them. The spa is a large building on the edge of the resort, very calm and beautiful. There’s also this little hut they use for couples massages by the beach.
There are always evening entertainment activities, starting with live music around 7:30pm. I would always do an early dinner (getting to the restaurant right at 6p when they open), then be finishing up right around 7:30 so I’d come out to Prelude Plaza and have a drink and listen to music for a while.
From Souly Grail to indie acoustic to Cubanissimo, all the live music was great. Around 9:00pm there would be a show next door in the open-air theater, then around 10:15pm more live music, a silent party, karaoke, or something a little higher-energy.
Be aware of where your room is located, because some of those afterparty things can be quite loud, and don’t wrap up til 11:30. It was only an issue for me one night.

On a whim, I did do one excursion, a boat and snorkeling trip over to Isla Mujeres. We got ferried out to the boat in a tiny motorboat in groups, then took off across the water. El Farito was our first stop, where we snorkeled for quite a while. Then we pulled up to the famous Playa Norte on Isla Mujeres…the water is so shallow we literally walked from the boat to the beach.
Finally, before heading back to the hotels we stopped at a shipwreck and snorkeled around it. One thing to be careful of, when I booked the guy told me we’d be back by noon, but we didn’t actually get back til almost 2:00. This was important to me first and foremost because my COVID test was scheduled for 2:30 so it was cutting it close (plus I chose this excursion because it didn’t take most of a day vs. other ones).
I loved this experience, and next time I’d actually just do the legwork and book my own that’s a little more private and less “mass” (MM Royale Yachts gets good reviews from resort-goers), but it was a super convenient and easy option, cost me $70 I think plus tipping the boat folks?
Here are my go-to beach tote, swimsuits, walking sandals, & more!
WHEW!!! I told you it would be an in-depth EPM review! Excellence Playa Mujeres is a lovely resort and a great option for couples, adult families, friend groups, and is okay for solo travelers. It is a great option if you’re looking for a more social experience, somewhere with lots of activities and things to do, or a little higher-energy.
If you’re looking for super quiet, chill, luxury, it’s okay but there are probably better options for you (I do love LeBlanc). Here’s a comparison of the two.
FAQ for EPM
What is the best way to book Excellence Playa Mujeres?
You can book through EPM’s website directly…though it’s worth calling their customer service to see if you can get a better rate. Weirdly it’s not on Booking.com, which is one of my go-tos. Make sure to read through TripAdvisor reviews too.
What is Excellence Club at Excellence Playa Mujeres?
Excellence Club is a level at EPM that you can pay extra for. As opposed to many other resorts, this isn’t some club you join or pay for access to long-term, but rather a level of room you book. The rooms themselves aren’t different, but the service and access to different pool and beach areas as well as a dedicated nice restaurant and bar are included. For my style of travel, it was worth it.
Does Excellence Playa Mujeres have a swim-up bar?
Yes, the main big pool that surrounds one of the restaurants has a great swim-up bar. As far as I remember, the other pool bars are all “on land”.
Does Excellence Playa Mujeres have a lazy river?
Not technically, no. One of their pools is set up in the shape of a lazy river, where it’s narrow and winds through the resort. However, the water does not move which is a key feature of a real lazy river.
Do you tip at Excellence Playa Mujeres?
It’s not required, but it is definitely welcomed and I would have felt weird not tipping some. I have no idea how much other guests tipped, but I usually did $1-2 for drinks, $5-10 for meals, and $3-5 for housekeeping daily.

Playa Mujeres Golf Club – Top 100 Golf Courses of Mexico
This Greg Norman design is flat and was in very good condition located about 20 minutes north of Cancun. Take your sunscreen here as the sun is relentless. There is one really great view of the ocean behind the sixteenth green.
The fairways are usually wide but there is no real “first cut” as the vegetation is thick and goes along both sides of many holes other than the water holes. Some of the fairways are too narrow for the hole. I played abysmally off the tee and paid the price with a high score due to the vegetation where I often had to punch out or had a lost ball. It was a fairly windy day but I believe the vegetation to be the biggest defense to the golf course. I played the 6775 Gold tees while the Black tees are at 7218 and the silver at 6342 yards. The indexes respectively are 74.5/139, 72.5/132 and 70.2/126. The vegetation often is on top of sand so sometimes you are forced to hit a bunker shot while crouched over due to the overhanging vegetation.
It is a resort course and unlimited golf packages are available through the resort.
The first nine hole sit to one side of the entrance road to the golf course with the second nine on the other side which is closer to the ocean.
The first hole is a par 4 of 392/354/338 with water down the right side to almost 300 yards out ending in sand and trees. There are two bunkers on the left side with the green relatively unprotected. I found the water with a slight fade and two bounces right. It has a very large green for a hole of this length. This is a harder starting hole than typically found at a resort course.
The second hole is a par five of 550/506/488 and is the number one index. There is a waste are around 282 yards out from the back tee that is about 30 yards wide. The fairway has a bunker right for the second shot as well as a bunker right and left nearer the green.
The third hole is a short par 3 of 145/138/128 with water in front from the back tee ending in a long bunker. The green is slightly tilted towards the water. It is a nice short par 3.
The fourth plays at 437/366/350 and is a slight dogleg right with the bunker strangely enough on the right side just 200 yards from the back tee. The green has protective bunkers left and two to the right including a somewhat pot bunker. The green narrows behind the left bunker leaving the left side as a difficult pin placement.
Five is the second par 5 at 553/533/508 and is listed as the second hardest hole on the front nine. It is a big horseshoe to the left with seemingly a jungle of trees on the left side. The hole ends with a large bunker eating into the green so a back right pin position is challenging. I played the hole poorly but I liked the concept of it.
Six is a mid-length par 3 o 172/158/141. There is water once again in front of the two longest tees but it stops well before the green so it is not really in play. There is a large bail-out front of the green. A bunker sits on the right side of the green which is slanted towards the water. It’s a pretty hole, but also a standard hole.
Seven is a longer par 4 of 469/452/417 with another sandy waste area 300-350 yards out. This hole feels like you found an oasis in the trees such is the density of the trees on either side of the fairway. The waste area creeps close to the green.
The eighth hole is a dogleg right playing at 434/401/362 and I thought was the best hole on the front nine as there is a fairway bunker left and then a pond with bunkers on both sides of the pond that fronts the green which sits to the right side of the hole. There is a bail-out area left of the green but it should be unnecessary from all but the back tee.
Nine feels like the first hole a bit in that water goes down most of the right side of the fairway on this par 4 of 434/401/362 yards. Once again the fairway stops around 270-325 yards out with a sandy area that crosses the entire fairway. A pond sits off to the left but should not be in play to this green that sits off to the right. I did not like that it was the second hole in a row with a similar feel to the green location. The hole has sand and trees all the way down the left.
After getting refreshed at the clubhouse you turn to a par 4 of 438/410/358 which has a pinched fairway. I did not care for the hole as I thought it was too narrow even though the green has no bunkers.
The eleventh is a par 3 of 197/184/158 yards playing along the road although you don’t see it due to the jungle of trees. Water lines the entire right side and the green ends right against it. Two bunkers front the green. I found this to be the par 3 I liked the most even though I splashed my ball by fading it in too much.
The twelfth is a par 4 of 446/418/389 with water all down the right from the tee to the green. There are two bunkers on the right side of the fairway with the first having an island of trees in it. I liked the hole.
Thirteen is a shorter par 5 of 519/502/489 that is a dogleg right with a large fairway bunker on the left eating into half of the fairway but it really is not in play on either the tee shot or second. The green has no bunkers. I felt this was perhaps the easiest hole on the golf course. You do get a view of the ocean at the end of the hole.
The fourteenth tee has a similar view to behind the thirteenth tee and is a par 4 of 463/434/411 playing as a dogleg right. Once again the fairway is very wide with a large fairway bunker is on the left side to force you to take either a shorter line or a bolder line down the right. The green sits back on the left a bit and has three bunkers to the left. The green is large with many undulations. It is another fine hole.
The fifteenth is a short par 3 of 164/156/144 yards that was not much of a golf hole. It has a raised green with run-offs front, right and back. The bunker on the left eats into the green much like you find in an Australian sandbelt course. Maybe this is the easiest hole.
The sixteenth takes you to the beach itself whereas on 13 and 14 you have to sort of work to see it. It is a short par 4 of 386/367/337 with a wide fairway and four bunkers fronting the green. This hole is designed to play into the wind but also designed to ensure you see the ocean from the green itself as it is raised and there is no vegetation behind the green.
Seventeen turns you back inland with a par 5, the longest hole on the course at 597/579/570 yards. It is a sharp dogleg right and after the turn water runs down the right all the way to the green. There is a bunker left at the turn and two more fairway bunkers left and right short of the green that come into play for the second shot. The green’s right side is against the water. This is a hard earned par and I hole I liked.
The final hole is a 460/442/414 par 4 and has water down the entire right side. There is a fairway bunker on the right side that is long but well short of the green and another large sand area with trees inside on the left side of the green. The wind from the ocean should help keep a tee shot from going right into the water. Water has continued on the right side of the green. It is a tough finish.
From this review you can see that water is often used on this course and unfortunately, it is always on the right side. This makes many of the holes have a similar look and feel. But for a resort course, it is okay and one you would like to play 2-3 times during a week’s stay.

Things to do in Playa Mujeres
Playa Mujeres is a part of Cancun that many people are not yet familiar with. Literally translating to “beach of the women” or “women’s beach” it is not to be confused with Isla Mujeres, the small island located off the coast of Cancun.
Playa Mujeres beach is a newly developed area located on the mainland, about a 45-minute drive from the airport and north of both the Hotel Zone and downtown Cancun and south of Isla Blanca. Many new hotels have been built in this area, which is sometimes called Costa Mujeres as well, and there are many more to come. In fact, the area may end up being home to more hotel rooms than the Hotel Zone.
Until recent years, this area, or more specifically Puerto Juarez just to the south, was only known as being the base for the ferry to Isla Mujeres, while the area to the north where the new hotels are now located was mostly jungle. There is however a Mayan ruins site called El Meco as well, so the Mayans occupied this beautiful area long before developers and tourists did.
The area is very different from the Hotel Zone, and is surrounded by mangroves and rainforest jungle. The pale blue ocean waters are calmer, since the white sand beach faces the island. You can’t walk along the street in Playa Mujeres and find restaurants, shopping or tour operators, but luckily, Aquaworld’s Playa Mujeres activities are conveniently available right in many Playa Mujeres hotels.
So, if you are wondering what to do in Playa Mujeres, read on!
Snorkeling in Playa Mujeres
Snorkeling is one of the best activities to do in Cancun, and Playa Mujeres snorkeling is no different. Aquaworld offers both a snorkeling tour with various stops and a Discover scuba diving tour, which allows you to learn how to scuba dive in one day. Both are available in Playa Mujeres. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest barrier reef system in the world, is located right off the shores of Cancun, so you can expect to see coral reef formations and other marine life like colorful fish, starfish, sea turtles and rays. As we mentioned previously, you don’t have to worry about transportation, because Aquaworld will pick you up at Playa Mujeres beach, right in front of your hotel or very close to it.
Snorkel tour from Playa Mujeres
Aquaworld’s Snorkel tour from Playa Mujeres visits three unforgettable spots, and believe it or not, will not even take up the entire day. After you are picked up by a boat from the beach in front of or near your hotel, the tour begins with snorkeling at the “Meco” site off the coast of Isla Mujeres, where you will see coral formations and schools of different colored fish, then a visit to the island, where you can swim in the calm turquoise water, relax on the beach, Playa Norte (North Beach), and even grab a cold cerveza from a beach bar. The last stop is for more snorkeling, this time at a sunken shrimp boat, which is teaming with fish and other marine life. You’ll be picked up at around 8:30 am and you’ll be back to your hotel in time for lunch, around 12:30 – 1:00 pm.
This tour includes a life vest (mandatory), mask, a new snorkel tube, fins, water, soda and beer. Children as young as 6 years old may participate.

This is a wonderful place where the purest water, palm trees and white sand have tourists for a relaxing holiday. Nearby are comfortable hotels where you can relax at night. If you don’t like crowded beaches and bustle – visit the beach during your vacation in Mexico and enjoy both peace and quiet.
Akumal Beach
On the Mayan coast, Akumal Beach, which means “Land of the Turtles”, fascinates with its unique view and attracts tourists and visitors. This beach got its name for a reason. Sea turtles go to this land to lay their eggs. There you can see marine life – the owners of this beach.

Amazing beaches await you with great activities: diving in sheltered bays, fishing, sailing and incredible whale watching. Here you can relax and learn historical facts about the city, swim on the beach overlooking the nearby Sierra Madre mountains.
Playa Norte Beach
The main beach of Playa Norte is located on the island of Mujeres, famous for its clear sea waters and mirror sand. This is a great place to relax with children, because the water is calm, the waves are light, on weekdays the influx of people is small. There are many vacationers on weekends and it is better to come there in the morning, take a place closer to the water. This beach is rightfully considered the most beautiful in the country. There is a huge selection of luxury hotels, bars, restaurants for visitors.
Xpu Ha Beach
On the Mayan coast south of Puerto Aventuras, Xpu Ha Beach is the most frequented by locals. Even during the peak season, the beach remains sparsely populated. Therefore, for travelers this is a great place for a quiet and relaxing holiday. True, there are various entertainments here: football, volleyball, yoga classes with local residents. Here you can go fishing, diving, kayaking. Along the beach there is a huge selection of chilled drinks and delicious seafood from local sellers.
Zipolit Beach
Zipolit Beach has been quite a popular place where hippies have been gathering for over 20 years since the 60s of the last century. It was the heart of free love and a famous counterculture hotspot where hippies from all over gathered. This is the first nudist beach in the country, although not all sunbathers were without clothes. Today, this beach does not attract many hippies, but here you can also find people who dedicate themselves to yoga or surfing. Zipolit Beach attracts its tourists with its beauty and desertedness. Here you will really escape the big crowds and constant city noise. If you want to stay on this beach for a few days, there are a couple of luxury hotels and restaurants near its location that attract tourists with their elegant views.
Playa del Amor
Easily accessible by boat from the pier at Cabo San Lucas. This is a very famous Mexican beach. Often referred to as “Lover’s Beach”, a romantic setting graces the beautiful Land’s End rock. Keep in mind that the tides are quite calm on the Pacific coast, we advise you to enter the water in the area of Bahia de Cabo San Lucas. The side of Cortes here is also ideal for scuba diving, more often locals have a rest. Although getting here is quite difficult, the result will exceed all your expectations.
Playa de Tecolote
Playa de Tecolote is one and the same It is a bustling, fun beach in La Paz overlooking the uninhabited island of Espiritu Santo. Here you will find local vendors offering their dishes: marinated marlin, chocolate clams. Despite being less popular than Balandra Beach, here you will get a great holiday.

Bahia Balandra Beach
Bahia Balandra is a family friendly beach located in the Baja area of La Paz. It is famous for its rock formations. Here is the Diamond Rock. This is a quiet place where there are no dangers and you can go diving, see the magnificent unexplored life of marine life.

Playa Maroma Beach
Playa Maroma, located on the Mayan coast, is one of the ten best beaches in the world. It is two miles long and is part of a resort hotel in Catalonia. It features calm waters and fluffy sand, which makes it even more attractive. The only negative is that there are no cheap motels or hostels here.

Ziggy Beach
Ziggy Beach is very popular on the Mayan coast. With a variety of marine life and given the fabulous beauty of the corals and reefs, this is a great place for kayaking and snorkeling.

This place is famous for various active leisure activities: kayaking, sailing, water skiing, etc. There are many rental points for yachts, boats for a fairly small price. There are many beautiful and cozy cafes for you, where you can have a tasty snack during your vacation.
Paamul Beach
Paamul Beach, located north of Puerto Aventuras, is a mixed sand and limestone beach. The fact that shoes are required here discourages many tourists and makes Paamul beach less crowded than other nearby beaches. However, despite this slight downside, the coral reef here is fascinating and scuba divers and snorkellers alike can explore the amazing array of exotic fish and other marine life on the seabed. Paamul Beach is home to several bars, souvenir shops and luxury restaurants, and there is also a swimming pool in case you want to avoid salt water or spiky sand.
Isla Holbox Beach
A few hours drive from Cancun is a small island called Isla Holbox. It is called the hidden gem of the Yutaka Peninsula. There are deserted beaches, shallow waters and a calm atmosphere. For tourists who are looking for tranquility, the great news is that there is little traffic here. The many scattered beaches are great for swimming in the crystal clear waters.

Как to get from Cancun to Isla Mujeres by bus
Traveling by bus from Cancun to Isla Mujeres is a safe, relatively comfortable and least expensive option. Popular routes are served by a large number of flights, often with round-the-clock departures at intervals of half an hour to an hour. Less popular destinations sometimes have to settle for a single flight a day. The most common types of buses are non-air-conditioned, air-conditioned and premium class.
We recommend that you book your bus ticket at least a few days before your trip. Check out the list of bus companies that serve the Cancun – Isla Mujeres route. If the trip falls on weekends or holidays, we advise you to buy tickets well in advance, because this is a hot time for both those traveling on vacation and among employees who return to their native land to spend time with their families.
How far is Cancun from Isla Mujeres?
When traveling by bus, the distance from Cancun to Isla Mujeres depends on the route chosen. Most bus companies prefer toll roads or highways. Often this is not the shortest path, but the fastest and traffic-free/traffic-free.
To get by bus to some island destinations that are not connected to the mainland by bridges, buses call on large car ferries. Passengers are usually asked to get off the bus; luggage can be left on site. The distance from port to port is added to the total path length.
How long does it take to travel from Cancun to Isla Mujeres by bus?
Estimated travel time from Cancun to Isla Mujeres by bus is 25 hours. Do not forget that it is always longer to travel by bus than by your own car or taxi. Departure time also greatly affects the congestion of the route between Cancun and Isla Mujeres. As a rule, the greatest traffic is observed in the morning hours until the evening on weekdays. This is a busier time than weekends.
Another important factor that affects travel time is the type of bus. Premium and VIP buses are usually faster because they travel along the highway and often do not stop at intermediate bus stations along the way. However, all buses typically make 10 to 30 minute stops every few hours to allow passengers to stretch their legs, use the restroom or eat while the driver and bus staff are resting.
Some premium buses have a toilet as well as a co-driver. But this does not change things: there will still be stops along the way – for lunch or for gas stations.
How much are the bus tickets from Cancun to Isla Mujeres?
The price of bus tickets from Cancun to Isla Mujeres varies depending on the bus class. The cheapest tickets are always for regular buses without air conditioning.
