Cancun Singles Holiday: The Ultimate Guide

Feel­ing adven­tur­ous and not sure where to take your sin­gles hol­i­day? Hit up Can­cun, a noto­ri­ous pop­u­lar vaca­tion spot locat­ed in what is known as The Mex­i­can Caribbean, in the region of Quin­tana Roo, Mex­i­co.

If there was ever a tai­lor-made des­ti­na­tion hol­i­day for sin­gle males, more so the par­ty ani­mal or the man who appre­ci­ates erot­ic resorts, this would be it. The high­lights include stun­ning ‘Caribbean-esque’ white beach­es with sweep­ing views of lulling azure waters you can stare at for hours, and a bub­bly nightlife with steamy dis­cothe­ques and clubs, Mex­i­co-style. An ener­getic vibe that is addic­tive in the day, and a par­ty-all-night atmos­phere that can be accused of being the same.

And things do get steamy in Can­cun: from hot tem­per­a­tures to hot dish­es to the red-hot mamac­i­tas who are read­i­ly avail­able in, er, adult hotels pep­pered across this Caribbean par­adise. If there was a word to describe this city, ‘extreme’ would be it: from the laid-back side of things (think Mex­i­can mas­sages and tantras) to the more sen­su­al (think nud­ist resorts filled with racy Lati­na females).

What else could a man ask for on a sin­gles vaca­tion? I’m not sure about you, but this is def­i­nite­ly Cloud 9.

Dating Women in Cancun

For sin­gle guys look­ing for some nice female com­pa­ny, Can­cun is the make-out mec­ca. I mean, the resort city is chocked full of bedaz­ing biki­ni-clad females who are per­pet­u­al­ly in this live-in-the-moment mood. And they are yours for the tak­ing. For real. The women of Can­cun are very friend­ly and always look­ing for­ward to social­iz­ing. Blame them not; Mex­i­can guys are suck­ers for white skin, and thus the girls tend to feel neglect­ed. Just the way you want them.

The good news is that at night, it’s easy peasy to find a three­some in the club that’s not get­ting much atten­tion. And the next good news is that it’s easy to pick them up and wake up next to one or two come morn­ing. That in mind, flirt shame­less­ly, and you will be reward­ed.

For those look­ing for a rela­tion­ship and aren’t here for months to sow the seeds, it’s best to begin your search on online Mex­i­can dat­ing sites. It will be much eas­i­er to hit it off for the long-term know­ing what both of you are in for.

Best Places to meet Women in Cancun

There are dif­fer­ent areas and sce­nar­ios you can meet women in the Glis­ten­ing City, right from the moment you touch down at the air­port and encounter cute-look­ing girls wait­ing for your bag­gage.

To nar­row it down for you though, here are some of the top spots.

• Nightlife

To sum up the nightlife in Can­cun, let’s just say this is one of the rea­sons behind its rep­u­ta­tion and why so many peo­ple are keen to par­ty here. The city has main­tained its tag as one of the top par­ty spots on the plan­et, and there are accom­pa­ny­ing ben­e­fits: a wild atmos­phere, crazy nights, and young, beau­ti­ful eager females.

While hang­out joints are pret­ty much scat­tered across the the city, the best haunts are grouped in a dis­trict called the Par­ty Cen­ter: a neon-lit boule­vard fur­nished with bars and clubs where par­ties extend well into day­break.

For best fun and girls, the world-renowned Coco Bon­go, Dady’O, The City, La Vaqui­ta (The Lit­tle Cow), and Con­go night­clubs are a must. While you’re at it, it would be a crime to bypass Club Med. You will be sur­prised what you find.

Par­ty hotels to catch the best fun include Car­los & Char­lie’s, La Des­ti­le­ria, Senor Frog’s, and of course, the Hard Rock Cafe, Can­cun.

• Beaches

Sun bathing in Can­cun is a cher­ished activ­i­ty. And for boys on vaca­tion, that presents a per­fect win­dow of oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet the sexy ladies of Mex­i­co who you most­ly see on those bub­blegum Hip Hop clips.

Every hotel locat­ed in the ‘Hotel Zone’ in Can­cun has a beach, and there’s even a Beach Recov­ery Trust to ensure these renowned sprawl­ing white sands are always in top-top con­di­tion. That means you will find beach every­where you go. Strik­ing beach to be exact.

Some though, are not your ordi­nary beach­es. While they are a nat­ur­al splen­dor on their own, the icing on the cake for a sin­gles hol­i­day is to pay vis­it to the top­less beach­es: El Dora­do Royale, Grand Oasis Playa, and Gold­en Par­nas­sus. And that’s not all. There are naked beach­es too, although these are more of expen­sive resorts: the Desire Pearl and Temp­ta­tion Resort, are great exam­ples.

• Online Dating

Don’t wait until you land to begin your girl search online, unless you are here for a cou­ple of weeks, not few days. That said, it’s best prac­tice to start your search ear­ly on, and as ever, the online land­scape is one of the best when it comes to max­i­miz­ing your chances of meet­ing for­eign girls, Mex­i­can or oth­er­wise. There are plen­ty of ded­i­cat­ed sites where you’ll most like­ly find a few girls ‘cus­tomized’ to your taste. Get a cou­ple of num­bers and active­ly keep con­tact (online at first), and let them know of your plans to get togeth­er when you’re in town.

Fun Things to Do in Cancun

While girls and nightlife are enough rea­son to sway many sin­gle trav­el­ers to Can­cun, there is much more to it than that actu­al­ly.

• Beaches

Can­cun and beach­es will always go togeth­er, they are insep­a­ra­ble.

So again, hit the beach. Whether for some down­time, med­i­ta­tion, sun bathing, swim­ming, or girls, you will be lit­er­al­ly spoilt for choice.

• Scuba Diving/Snorkelling

If div­ing is part of the focus of your hol­i­day to Can­cun, you will rarely find bet­ter loca­tions to dive off the reef, hands down.

Dive shops are every­where, and the expe­ri­ences in Can­cun are made more mem­o­rable by  his­toric caves and oth­er nat­ur­al won­ders like nurse sharks and whale sharks, not to men­tion the cenote (nat­ur­al pools) some as old they were in use dur­ing the Mayan civ­i­liza­tion. Epic.

For any­one who has nev­er dove or snorkeled before, make it a point of try­ing your hand (or body) in it. The only down­side to this is that your heart will nev­er ful­ly set­tle because you’ll rarely find a more fas­ci­nat­ing expe­ri­ence. But hey, per­fect excuse for more trips down here, huh senor?

• Day Trips

And what’s a vaca­tion to Can­cun with­out a day trip. There are so many must-vis­its but let’s nar­row them to ensure you sam­ple the best of what this nat­ur­al won­der has to offer dur­ing the short time you’re here.

Sam­ple the Playa del Car­men which should be dou­ble kill for you: enjoy a day trip and get to expe­ri­ence one of the world’s top dive des­ti­na­tions.

Chichen Itza: This is one of those sights that evokes feel­ings of mor­tal­i­ty. The archae­o­log­i­cal site is a huge city built by the ancient Mayans, and rest assured you’ll nev­er look at life the same once you pay it a vis­it and the mem­o­ry lingers, his­to­ry lover or not.

Tulum: Anoth­er archae­o­log­i­cal site where stands the ruins of what was once a great ancient Mayan city over­look­ing the ocean. Beyond the con­fines of the city is a spec­tac­u­lar view of jade-green waters and pris­tine sands, gar­nished with sun, blue skies and soft breeze that gen­tly mas­sages over the face.

Must Try Food in Cancun

Mex­i­co is renowned for its zesty cui­sine, and some must-have dish­es include:

• Tacos

You may think you know what tacos taste like until you sam­ple the orig­i­nal Mex­i­can version(s). There are dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions to these lit­tle tor­tilla bun­dles loaded with a blend of meats, seafood and veg­eta­bles that are dipped in savory sauces before cook­ing after which they’re again piled with col­or­ful, spicy top­pings.

But one com­mon fac­tor is the unique taste rem­i­nis­cent of Mex­i­can flair that makes them so tasty and fun to gulp down, one chas­ing the oth­er.

• Caribbean Food at La Habichuela Sunset

There is a pop­u­lar say­ing that you haven’t been to Can­cun if you haven’t been to La Habichuela. It’s def­i­nite­ly not a place you want to answer ‘no’ to when asked if you sam­pled dur­ing your hol­i­day in Can­cun.  

The strong Mayan cul­ture ambiance aside, La Habichuela has one of those menus you would call com­plete, and an eye-grab­bing, mouth­wa­ter­ing, fin­ger-lick­ing part of is its fan­cied Caribbean seafood dish­es that switch­es the taste buds into a No-Holds-Barred mode.

• Modern Mexican, especially Seafood at Julia Mia

Of course, it’s advis­able to test what mod­ern Mex­i­can cui­sine has to offer as well. For the best, most mem­o­rable taste in town, few — if any — would match Julia Mia, a new restau­rant that has become a local favorite. Go right ahead and slot it in in your must-attends. Thank us lat­er.

And giv­en this is Mex­i­co, the offi­cial Land of Tequi­la, well, you know what you need to do.

How to Get to Cancun

Unless you’re in the states of Texas, Cal­i­for­nia, Ari­zona and New Mex­i­co and don’t mind tak­ing a long bus ride, the most con­ve­nient way of get­ting to Can­cun is to fly in.

Can­cun Inter­na­tion­al Air­port is the sec­ond-busiest in the coun­try which means flights from North Amer­i­ca and Latin Amer­i­ca are sched­uled on a fre­quent basis. Even Europe is well served giv­en the pop­u­lar­i­ty of the des­ti­na­tion, and it’s easy to find some very eco­nom­i­cal char­ter flights. If you’re unlucky, com­mer­cial flight deals from mul­ti­ple Euro­pean car­ri­ers are always an option.

After land­ing, a cab should get you to your hotel. From there, get­ting around is extreme­ly con­ve­nient on any giv­en day, thanks to an estab­lished trans­port net­work to cater to vis­i­tors.

Don’t for­get a search on Expe­dia which is guar­an­teed to help you find the best flight deals.
