Country, Liberty, Work and Culture

Cozumel is the largest island in the Mexican Caribbean. From its beautiful white sand beaches and world-famous coral reefs to its rich history with Mayan ruins and natural wonders, Cozumel is a place of adventure and relaxation where all kinds of activities are performed in natural settings.

Known world-wide as one of the best places for diving, Cozumel has a variety of dive zones with amazing wall reefs, some with limestone tunnels and caves, that reach great depths. These reefs are home to turtles, sharks, parrotfish, giant anemones, hermit crabs and the endemic Cozumel Toad Fish. The coral formations and crystalline warm waters of Cozumel are legendary.

The integration that exists between locals and visitors is something that surprises the nights in Cozumel. From sunset to sunrise, the island comes to life differently.

Be sure to visit the pedestrian zone of San Miguel, where you can find different restaurants-bars that offer live music, good drinks and a great atmosphere - lively and relaxed at the same time.

The beauty of this island will ignite your heart and soul. Cozumel’s white sand and crystal blue water is the perfect setting for any Dream Wedding. So, whether you’re looking to have an intimate event or an extravagant one, a number of wedding planners are waiting to work with you and design the wedding of your dreams.
