Hotels near Laguna Kaan Luum

A short drive south, Laguna Kaan Luum is a stunning turquoise lagoon ringed by shallow, warm water with a deep cenote at its centre. A wooden pier stretches over the shallows for swimming and sunbathing, while the deep central sinkhole - restricted to divers - glows a darker blue against the pale ring. Less crowded than the coastal cenotes and framed by jungle, it makes a serene half-day escape with hammocks, kayaks and a viewing tower.

Pro Tip: Go on a weekday morning for the calmest, clearest water, climb the viewing tower for the classic two-tone photo, and respect the roped-off deep cenote unless you are diving with a guide.
