Getting there
The journey to Riviera Cancun Golf and Resorts begins at CancĂșn International Airport (CUN), Mexico's busiest gateway, situated roughly 25 kilometers north of the resort along the Riviera Maya coast. From the airport, the drive south unfolds as a seamless transition from the bustling tourist corridor into the quieter, more refined stretch of beachfront property where the resort anchors itself - a journey of approximately 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and the specific entry point. Private aviation clients benefit from CancĂșn's robust infrastructure, with charter services and dedicated facilities offering direct access to the resort's grounds. The final approach winds through manicured tropical landscaping and past the resort's signature entrance, where the Caribbean's turquoise waters come into view, signaling arrival at one of Mexico's most exclusive golf and leisure destinations.
