Costa Maya, Mexico
A purpose-built port on Mexico's quiet southern coast, with Maya ruins in the jungle.
Costa Maya is a cruise port beside the fishing village of Mahahual in southern Quintana Roo. Opened in 2001, it is the gateway to the Maya site of Chacchoben, the multi-hued Bacalar lagoon and the offshore atoll of Banco Chinchorro. Mahahual's seafront malecón offers a slower-paced beach day.
