If you think that all there is to Mexico is Spring Break in Tijuana, it’s time to think again. Ancient Maya temples, flamingo-filled lakes and rejuvenating spa treatments? Popping across the border has never been so exciting. A country packed full of culture, skip Cancun’s sandy beaches and discover a whole other side to the Yucatan Peninsula. On this enriching five-night trip, we’ll have you taking in all the sights as well as leaving some time for a spot of pampering at the spa. Stroll past grand colonial buildings in Merida, climb atop the Great Pyramid at Uxmal, get in touch with nature at Celestun – and see a side of Chichen Itza that few get to see. Intrigued? You should be.

Mexico is not only famous for its rich culture and ancient traditions though, but also its world-class spas. With that in mind, you’ll spend your final three nights indulging in a spot of pampering – and what pampering this is. Decadence to the highest degree, Chable Resort & Spa is easily one of Mexico’s best spa retreats. Taking a break from the spa, you’ll also venture out on a private tour to Celestun Biosphere Reserve where, by the shores of the large saltwater lagoon, a flock of over 2,000 flamingos eagerly await their Instagram appearance and natural cenote springs bubble below the lake surface. It’s a magical place for a swim before returning to Chable for a volcanic mud wrap. Tomorrow, we’ve got one final cultural treat for you as we take you on a private tour of the Uxmal & Kabah archaeological sites. Ancient complexes that pay testament to Maya scientific ingenuity, take in the temples and the palaces before climbing atop the Great Pyramid where you’ll be awestruck by the impressive views over the ancient city.
