Playacar

A few minutes south of Playa del Carmen, Playacar is a posh gated beachfront community designed from the ground up to create a sophisticated environment for the tropical lifestyle.

There are small Mayan archaeological sites located at random around the area, and the Xaman-Ha Aviary has exotic toucans, scarlet macaws, green parrots and pink flamingos, all in a natural setting.

Sporting attractions include an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts and club house. There is also the beach, shopping at the Plaza Antigua and Plaza Playacar shopping centers, and countless other things to do and see in Playa del Carmen.
