The clocks might have changed but the weather sure hasn’t. So far, spring has been wet, dull, and not – at all – what we expected. Fortunately for us, we’re only a plane ride away from 30°C weather and a killer tan.
Mexico? You’ve guessed it. Whether it’s the endless beaches for some well-deserved rest, tacos and guac, or a cheeky tipple by the pool, there’s something for everyone. And that’s only the start.
TUI, the travel provider we all need for ease and convenience, knows how to package it up true resort style. That’s right. Travel, accommodation, or for something extra fancy – an all-inclusive - perhaps? Whatever the budget (and travel criteria because let’s face it, we all have one), TUI has got you sorted.
There’s even an option to fly to Mexico with TUI from Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and Gatwick airports next summer, all in around 10 hours. Sign. Me. Up.
From the lush hotels of Los Cabos to the thriving nightlife of Cancun, we’ve handpicked eight of the best beach holidays not to miss out on.

For that special someone
There is no denying an adults-only seaside suite with whirlpool bathrooms and all-inclusive gourmet dining sounds lush any day of the week. Can we get an amen?
For those looking to splurge
The Riu Palace Pacifico has it all, AKA sea views, spacious pools and à la carte dining. You can also upgrade to a Jacuzzi junior suite which will get you a hot tub on the balcony for an oh-so-relaxing break.
For larger groups who require something for everyone
If you’re after something with a bit more of a party buzz, the Riu Caribe is the resort for you. Perched on the edge of a sugar-white beach, it’s less than a five-minute drive from Cancun’s centre.
For those wanting some grown-ups-only time (and a bit of golf)
With an on-site casino and minibar stocked with all the spirits we like to see, the Bahia Principe Luxury Sian Ka’an overlooks the Riviera Maya Golf Club and is the ultimate adults-only luxe getaway.
For beach-life lovers
Boasting five pools and a 10km beach, this is the perfect spot for anyone wanting the Mexican holiday of their dreams. Picture yourself beach-bound on a sun-lounger, a mag in one hand and a Margs in the other. Um, yes please.
For those wanting some peace and quiet
With gorgeous views of a secluded beach backed by a jungle, the Grand Palladium Vallarta resort is something else. Want to win a loved one or best pal over? This is how.
For families or for those after an action-packed stay
If you want the best of both worlds, this hotel champions Mexican hospitality at its finest. Not only does it have a whole range of water sports, but it also has on-land activities and child-friendly features for families too.
For those looking to partaay!
Overlooking this stunner of a shoreline, the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun offers à la carte dining, good tunes, and panoramic sunset views. With the potential to feature in your own music video, it’s a place you can go to ignite your full rockstar mode.
