Information About

Costa Maya




Costa Maya's port has a new and modern shopping mall. The mall has a central plaza with a pool and "swim-up" style bars. There are several jewellery stores and many small shops selling ubiquitous souvenir items.

Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many of the lesser known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan including Chacchoben and Kohunlich . These sites are substantially less excavated than the better known pyramids near Cancun.

The fishing village of Mahahual is a short distance south of Costa May. The village has soft sand beaches, grass thatched palapas, and a coral reef a short distance off-shore, as well as several bars, restaurants, and shops. A resort development called New Mahahual is being created directly inland from the port.
