Tulum continues to be one of the hottest destinations amongst Millennials vacationing to Mexico. I mean, where else can you sit on a beach, sipping Negra Modelos while gazing at ancient Mayan ruins?

But the hot spot in the Riviera Maya also has some company when it comes to Mexican destinations that appeal to the Millennial client.

Here are the hottest options in Mexico for the traveler looking for a healthy dose of culture and nightlife.

Tulum

Tulum in Mexico's Rivera Maya isn't necessarily off the radar anymore after a recent hotel development boom, but it still remains a solid option for Millennials looking to get away from the more party-centric destinations found in other parts of Quintana Roo.

The destination remains scorching hot amongst Millennials - and any generation of client - looking for a getaway in Mexico that has an abundance of nature, culture and history without all of the noise.

Some hot Tulum hotels for Millennials include Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya, Casa Malca, Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa, Azulik Resort, Catalonia Royal Tulum and the Grand Bahia Principe Tulum.

Los Cabos

Los Cabos has recently undergone a luxury boom that affluent Millennials have taken notice of.

Aside from its five-star resorts, the destination has become a playground for Millennials who love golf, high-end spas, some light adventure and a lot of nature.

Some notable hotels here for Millennials include Montage Los Cabos, the Viceroy Los Cabos, Solaz, a Luxury Collection Resort, Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas & Spa, El Dorado Golf & Beach Club, Esperanza, Auberge Los Cabos and Dreams Resorts Los Cabos.

San Miguel de Allende

Colonial Mexico is always on a Millennial's radar as it usually combines authenticity with "Instagrammable" photos.
