About Xcaret

The Xcaret* story began in 1984, when architect Miguel Quintana Pali acquired five hectares of land in the Riviera Maya*, Mexico, approximately four miles from Playa del Carmen.

Miguel's original plan was to build his own residence on the land, however, after discovering cenotes and underground rivers, he decided to create a natural outdoor water park. Xcaret opened in 1990 and is now one of the must-visit destinations on Mexico's Caribbean coast.

Comprising sprawling water parks, theme parks and amusement parks within an eco-archaeological setting with cenotes, underground rivers and the spectacular Caribbean Sea surrounding it, Xcaret also has three hotels* and numerous restaurants*, operates sailing routes* and organises tours* to nearby archaeological sites.

Celebrating Mexican history, traditions and folklore, Xcaret has become a landmark in the Cancun area. Its name 'Xcaret' translates to 'small inlet' in the Mayan language.
