What to do at Cuixmala?

Spend your days at Cuixmala exploring the vast nature reserve and three pristine beaches. Enjoy yoga with jaw dropping views of the ocean. Go riding through the jungle or along the beach. There are trails for those who prefer hiking or cycling to riding.

Wildlife is a highlight at Cuixmala. Depending on the time of the year, see whales, dolphins and the releasing of baby turtles. Zebras and horses roam the grounds at Cuixmala.

Map & location

When to Travel

The best time to visit Cuixmala is between November and April. The rainy season runs between June and October, so the surrounding nature reserve will be particularly lush in November.
