Mexico is rising to the top of many members “Must Go” lists for 2026 and for good reason; it offers a wealth of unique travel experiences, warm hospitality, and beautiful settings of nature and culture. From the stunning desert coastline of western Mexico and the vibrant colonial towns of central Mexico to the turquoise Caribbean waters of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico has the diversity of travel experiences that will exceed expectations of any beach vacation.
Each of these five top member destinations Cabo San Lucas, Loreto, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, and Cancún have been consistently attracting members over the years; and at each of these destinations, our resorts are providing elevated and authentic ways to discover Mexico in style and comfort.
Here are the top travel experiences for 2026; why they’re exciting; and why where you stay is equally important as where you visit.
Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas is one of Mexico’s most visually spectacular places; where the golden desert meets the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Cabo is sure to continue to attract visitors looking for a combination of luxury, adventure, and incredible scenic views.
The top activities and adventures in Cabo include sailing around El Arco at Land’s End, sport fishing in Cabo’s world-renowned waters, snorkeling in Chileno Bay, and taking a winter whale-watching trip and viewing breaching humpback whales just offshore. The land-based adventures such as riding camels on the beach and driving ATVs through the desert are also a big draw.
At our resorts in Cabo including Villa La Valencia, Villa del Palmar, Villa del Arco, and Villa La Estancia members will be able to take advantage of being right on the beachfront with ample suite space, gourmet dining, and wellness-focused amenities. Spending a day out and enjoying the sun, sand, and surf and then coming back to a private ocean-view patio or a world class spa is the ultimate travel experience.
Loreto
For members seeking serenity, authenticity, and a strong connection with nature, Loreto offers something special. Nestled along the Sea of Cortez, Loreto provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and allows members to connect with themselves and nature in a peaceful, authentic way.
Snorkeling in crystal clear waters, kayaking through calm waters, hiking through desert canyons, and seeing blue whales (the largest animals in the world) are all reasons why members come to Loreto. The nearby islands and protected marine park offer a feeling of untouched beauty that is becoming harder to find.
Staying at Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, members will be immersed in nature yet still have access to comfortable and luxurious accommodations, wellness experiences, and eco-adventure opportunities. It’s the perfect location for members seeking low-impact, mindful, and sustainable luxury travel experiences.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is one of Mexico’s most loved destinations and for many good reasons. Puerto Vallarta seamlessly weaves together the best of Mexico’s traditional culture and creative spirit. Puerto Vallarta is sure to continue to captivate members with its endless options of new experiences.
Explore the colorful cobblestone streets of the Romantic Zone, visit local art galleries, taste innovative dishes at restaurants throughout the city, or embark on a food tour that showcases the rich culinary offerings of Puerto Vallarta. Whether you prefer to explore the great outdoors or relax on a sunny beach, Puerto Vallarta offers plenty of options. During the winter months, Banderas Bay is home to humpback whales and their babies.
Staying at UVCI Resorts in Puerto Vallarta such as Villa del Palmar Vallarta puts you within walking distance of the city’s cultural center and beachfront relaxation within minutes of downtown. As a result, all resorts are ideal for families, groups, and multigenerational members.
North of Puerto Vallarta lies the Riviera Nayarit, a stretch of coastline that embodies the essence of relaxation, natural beauty, and refined simplicity. This area is rapidly gaining popularity with members looking for luxury without the crowds.
Some of the Riviera Nayarit’s signature experiences include surfing in Sayulita, visiting the artistic village of San Pancho, sailing along the coast, and spotting whales in the winter months. Additionally, there are wellness retreats, yoga classes held on the beach, and barefoot dining in a relaxed atmosphere.
At UVCI Resorts in Riviera Nayarit with Villa Del Palmar Flamingos and Villa La Estancia, you’ll enjoy a tranquil beachside setting combined with excellent service and modern amenities. Staying at one of our resorts allows you to disconnect from the chaos of daily life and reconnect with yourself and nature.
Cancun
In recent years, Cancún has transformed from a vacation destination into a gateway to some of Mexico’s most impressive experiences.
Ancient Mayan ruins such as Chichén Itzá and Tulum are just two of the many historical sites that await exploration. Swimming in crystal-clear cenotes and snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs of the Mesoamerican Reef are additional experiences awaiting discovery. Summer members can even swim with whale sharks, one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife encounters on the planet.
At Villa del Palmar Cancun members will enjoy a refined and spacious resort experience, complete with luxurious amenities and direct access to cultural and natural excursions. The resort’s spacious suites and serene beachfront location ensure that whether you choose to relax or explore, VDP Cancun is the ideal base.
