Can’t wait for spring break this year? We get you. A week off from the books can’t come soon enough, especially when it means a week living it up in paradise. If you have a trip booked already or are thinking about Cancun for your spring vacation this year, you’ve come to the right place.
Planning your spring break adventure in the Mexican Caribbean has never been so easy! Use this guide for everything you need to know about what to do in Cancun for a week to let loose and soak up the sun. Here are just a few reasons why Cancun is the perfect place for your spring break this year.
Nightlife All Day
It’s never not a party in Cancun. Who needs to wait until 6 o’clock to start unwinding? You’ll be happy to know that for the spring break season, every year, lots of Cancun resorts host all-day parties and events for eager spring breakers coming into town.
For the biggest parties of the season, you can check out the Grand Oasis Cancun, the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun, and Hotel Riu to see what they have in store for spring break this year. Expect DJs, and live music performances, and it’s not unheard of for a celebrity guest to pop in and say hi. The resorts offer special all-inclusive stays or party packages for U.S. spring breakers.

Hotels For All Budgets
In a destination like Cancun, travelers get a bit of everything. You can live it up in an all-inclusive for your spring vacation. Even if you don’t want an all-inclusive party vibe 24/7, there are some calmer guesthouses and boutique hotels if all you want to do is chill by the pool and catch up on your favorite podcasts. And if you’re on a budget, there are some affordable places to stay in Cancun, too.
Cancun has a Selina, a popular co-working space and hostel that typically hosts weekly or nightly events, so you’ll always find something to do here.
There’s also Fiesta Party Hostel (sounds perfect for spring break, right?!) Or the more chill Hostel Natura, a stylish but affordable beachside accommodation. Wherever you choose to stay, make sure to enjoy a sunset cocktail and lots of beach time during your much-needed vacation!
Amazing All-Inclusive Tours
Sure, you can lounge by the pool or dance to live DJs all day, but you can also take the party to another level and book a day trip with your spring break buddies to experience even more of Cancun and the Riviera Maya. One popular excursion is a catamaran tour in Isla Mujeres.
Lots of the boat trip day packages offer all-inclusive food and drink on board, and you’ll be taken around the best of calm and tranquil Isla Mujeres (just 20 minutes from Cancun) by a certified boat captain. Make sure to bring sunscreen!
