Luxury Vacations in Mexico

Mexico is a land of baked earth and blistering-blue skies. Days are spent salty-skinned and sun-drunk. On the Pacific coast, sails and surfboards skim over the waves; on the Caribbean, powder-white beaches are a prelude to drift dives past loggerhead turtles, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks.

In the center, hot-air balloons float over the vast pyramids of Teotihuacán, their peaks echoing the rise and fall of the mountains that surround them and the Mesoamerican cultures that inhabited them. In Oaxaca, mezcal maestros turn agave hearts into smoky spirit, best poured neat to the heady rhythms of cumbia. On the Yucatán Peninsula, awe-inspiring archaeological sites and tropical rainforests await. Mexico City, meanwhile, is one long culinary and cultural feast, with highlights ranging from the world’s first Michelin-starred taco stand to a vibrant art and design scene influenced by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Prepare to be intoxicated.
