Xel-Ha, named after the Mayan word for ‘the place where the waters are born,’ is a 14-acre aquatic park located just south of Playa del Carmen. Nestled within a lush jungle and along the ocean, this family-friendly attraction features cenotes, a lazy river, and fish-filled lagoons. Visitors can explore the area’s rich biodiversity, observing a variety of marine life in the clear, turquoise waters. The park offers a refreshing change from the typical beach day, with opportunities to swim, snorkel, and relax in a natural setting.
