Playa del Carmen: LGBT+ Friendly Destination

For LGBT+ travelers

Playa del Carmen is one of the most inclusive destinations in Mexico, welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers from around the world. From modern vacation rentals to lively nightlife, it’s a destination where diversity is celebrated.

As high season (December to March) approaches, it’s the perfect time to secure your rental and start planning your trip.
