Make the Most
of Your Beach Day

Most beaches are just a short walk or quick ride from the center of town. After a few hours of sun, head to 5th Avenue for a bite to eat, a cold drink, or some boutique shopping.

Many beach clubs offer day packages that include food, drinks, and lounge chairs, perfect for a stress-free day by the sea.

The best way to enjoy Playa del Carmen’s beaches is to stay nearby.

At Riviera Vacation Home, we offer fully equipped small studios just minutes from the shoreline, ideal for couples, solo travelers, or digital nomads looking for comfort, privacy, and convenience.

All our vacation rentals include kitchens, strong Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches to make you feel at home and are managed by Lowis, a trusted host recognized as a Superhost on Airbnb.

View Lowis’s Airbnb profile here to read guest reviews and see the listings he manages. But when you book directly through our website, you avoid platform fees and get a better price.

And if your favorite beach club closes at sunset? Just head upstairs and keep relaxing in your own rooftop pool, right above your studio. That’s the kind of flexibility that makes your Playa stay feel like your own.
