Holidays To Mexico From Manchester 2024/2025

Tour Operators

Direct flights with TUI and indirect flights with British Airways, Delta Airlines and Air France means you've got plenty of flight options, and you can package them up with loads of hotels and resorts. You'll find most of the options are on Cancun holidays, but that can also include Riviera Maya and Playacar.

TUI Holidays

TUI offers package holidays to Mexico from the UK, combined with its direct flights to Cancun, allowing you to travel from regional airports including Manchester. Better still, they are ABTA and ATOL protected holidays and when flying on TUI Airways you'll get 20kg of luggage included per person and airport transfers included when you arrive. TUI also have a low deposit scheme too, so you can book in advance, secure the price and then pay off the remaining balance over several months. Other options may also include other airlines.

On The Beach

Combining different flight options with over 100 hotels, booking with On The Beach Holidays are protected by the ATOL scheme, but double check what's included within the final price. Things like check-in luggage and airport transfers aren't always included, so factor this in to the cost and you can add them during the booking process.

Low deposits from as little as £29pp, hundreds of holiday options including both family friendly and adults only, and ATOL protection gives you another tour operator option to look at. Airport transfers aren't usually included so add this on to match other travel companies.

Holiday Types

All Inclusive Holidays

Most of the resorts here are all inclusive hotels, with multiple restaurants and bars. It's one of the best ways to make sure you limit your spending while you're away and with many activities also included, like the kids' club, evening entertainment and some non-motorised watersports, it's not just about the free food and drink (and ice creams of course!) Take a look at all inclusive holidays in Cancun for the most budget friendly options.

Last Minute Escapes

Although it's a 10 hours 30 minutes flight time between Manchester and Cancun, it's a pretty long way for a last minute holiday, but with tropical beach resorts, plenty of sunshine, and flights and hotel rooms that need to be filled, when there's space, you could benefit from savings at the last minute. Take a look at TUI for some of the best late deals, as the scheduled airlines like BA and Delta don't usually discount closer to the time of travel.

Family Friendly

There are plenty of family friendly resorts here offering all sorts of amenities like kids' clubs, waterslides and plenty to do. A trip during the summer school holidays can push the price up but also brings more chance of rain during the hurricane season. Free child places aren't usually available to the Caribbean, but if you choose to book your flight and accommodation separately, some of the hotels might have discounts and offers for families sharing a room, helping to make your family holiday cheaper.

Adult Only Holidays

With fun beach bars, lively nightlife and adults only luxury hotels, when you want to unwind on the beautiful beaches without the kids, options like Secrets The Vine Cancun and the stunning Platinum Yucatan Princess All Suites & Spa Resort provide the adult only escape you need.

Things To Do

It's tempting to enjoy an all inclusive holiday in Mexico by simply stuffing your face at the buffet restaurant and lounging by the pool or on the white sand beaches, but you'll be missing out. There's so many fantastic things to do, from kayaking off your hotel's private beach, to discovering more about the Caribbean Coast of Mexico on a tour or excursion.

Snorkelling & Scuba Diving

Prepare for a tropical playground stretching along the coast. Snorkelling or scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters of the Great Maya Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world, is an absolute must. And don't miss the chance to swim in the enchanting cenotes, natural sinkholes filled with refreshing turquoise waters.

Xcaret Park

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the region at Xcaret Park. Swim in underground rivers, interact with friendly dolphins, and marvel at the colourful wildlife in the butterfly pavilion. Dive into Mexico's history and traditions with fascinating shows and performances. Finish the day with a breathtaking night show that showcases the country's cultural heritage through dance and music.

Isla Mujeres

Take a short ferry ride from Cancun to the charming Isla Mujeres. Explore the laid-back island life and rent a golf cart or scooter to discover hidden beaches and panoramic viewpoints. Snorkel with gentle whale sharks in the warm Caribbean Sea (during the summer months), visit the quirky Underwater Museum, or simply unwind on the powdery sands of North Beach.
