Xel-Há Inlet

The fascinating historical background of the inlet still lives on today as it is known to be a discovery from the Maya hundreds of years ago and is now one of Playa Del Carmen's most popular attractions. A Maya story tells about the gods and how they joined their wisdom, dreams, and love to create the best of nature into a scenic masterpiece and they named it Xel- Há. Once it was created, the gods were so pleased that they decided to share it with all mortal creatures. Xel-Há truly is a stunning natural work of art that everyone should experience. The enormous Xel-Há inlet has more than 600 miles of streams flowing below the surface making it possible for guests to explore and enjoy the large waters of Playa Del Carmen.
