Cancún is Mexico's party capital and one of the world's #1 spring-break destinations - the three-week spring-break peak alone brings 500,000+ visitors. The 15-mile Hotel Zone is a continuous strip of beachfront resorts and mega-clubs engineered for all-you-can-drink nights that run to sunrise.

The party scene

Coco Bongo (acrobatic show-club), Mandala, The City and Dady'O are the Hotel Zone heavyweights, mostly clustered at the Punta Cancún party center. Nearby Playa del Carmen and Tulum offer a more boutique, beach-club alternative on the same coast.

When to go

Spring break (late February - March) is the screaming peak; the dry, warm winter season (Dec - April) is high season generally. Summer is hot and humid; the Sept - Oct window carries hurricane risk.
