The Ultimate Girls Getaway Set Against Caribbean Sunsets

Some trips are planned around the itinerary. The best girls getaways are planned around the sunset. At Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres, located at Punta Sur, the trendiest spot on the island, the golden hour isn’t a detail of the day: it’s the main event.

Slow Mornings, Easy Afternoons
The day doesn’t need to start early. Yoga by the sea, a long breakfast, a swim, a nap under the palms. Paddleboarding, kayaking or snorkeling are right there for whoever wants to move, and the rest of the group can stay in the pool without missing a thing. Nobody has to choose between plans when everything happens in the same place.

The Sunset Ritual
As the afternoon goes on, Areia Beach Club changes its rhythm. The resident DJ turns up the music, the 360° bar fills up and the sky starts to change color over the Caribbean. It’s the moment for the photos everyone will want: toasting by the water, walking down the pier, the whole group together with the sun going down behind you.

Everything in One Place
Rooms, beach club and restaurant are part of the same property, so after the sunset there’s no taxi to catch or plan to reorganize. Shower, change, dinner by the sea and the night continues where it started. For groups of 12 or more, we can reserve dedicated beach areas or even the whole hotel.

Why the Sunset Matters
Years from now, nobody will remember what time the flight landed. They’ll remember that evening at Punta Sur, the music, the drinks and the sky turning orange while everyone was laughing. That’s the trip. If you’re planning a bachelorette, start with our complete guide and build the rest around the sunset.
