The Essentials for a Riviera Maya Vacation

It’s happening.

You finally have that sunny vacation to Riviera Maya on the books, and it’s the only thing you can think about while the minutes tick away at work. Don’t forget to pack the essentials when traveling to this amazing destination.

Lucky for you, Barcelo Hotel Group has put together a Riviera Maya packing list—so you’ll have everything you need for your adults only trip to Royal Hideaway Playacar. Take a look at this list before vacation brain sets in.

The Essentials

Let’s be honest, a trip to Riviera Maya means countless hours soaking up the sun. Whether it’s long days sitting poolside or enjoying an excursion in the area, you’ll most likely be taking in quite a few rays.

Sunglasses, swimsuits and sunscreen should be at the top of your list. Double check that your sunglasses have UV protection and your sunscreen has a high SPF. This is important for protecting your eyes and skin. Toss these essentials in a beach bag, and you’ll be all set for the days spent outside.

Dress to Impress

Actually, Riviera Maya is a casual destination for the most part, so a sundress or shorts and a t-shirt will make for a perfect outfit during the day. If you are in need of a cute new outfit to spice things up, check out the shops on 5th Avenue in Playa Del Carmen.

Sometimes it feels nice to dress up, and if a fancy dinner is on the agenda, be sure to stick a few nicer ensembles in your suitcase—or rock that new evening getup you just bought during a night of visiting Royal Hideaway Playacar’s bar and restaurant scene.
