Riviera Maya · Christmas & New Year’s 2026
Short transfer. Villas with pools.
Christmas week runs Dec 19 to 26, 2026, and New Year’s week Dec 26 to Jan 2. December through April brings the driest, coolest weather on the Riviera Maya, and most of these resorts are under an hour from Cancún airport.
For a family or three generations, look for a multi-bedroom residence or villa with a kitchen and a private pool, then a kids’ club and a calm beach. These six deliver.
The ground-floor three-bedroom villa runs to 4,603 square feet, sleeps eight and has its own kitchen, terrace and private pool; three- and four-bedroom Penthouses are the other option. Residents use everything at the Fairmont Mayakoba resort, including the kids’ club for ages five to eleven, the spa and the Greg Norman golf course.
