Mexico's Top Experiences to Inspire Your 2026 Travel Destinations
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 top member destinations, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, 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.
TAFER Residence Club Resorts in Cabo include Garza Blanca and Diamante Cabo. 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.
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 TAFER Residence Clubs Resorts in Puerto Vallarta, such as Garza Blanca Preserve and Hotel Mousai, puts you minutes away from the city's cultural center and beachfront relaxation. As a result, all resorts are ideal for families, groups, and multigenerational members.
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 TAFER Residence Club Resorts Villa del Palmar, Garza Blanca, and Hotel Mousai 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, these three resorts are an ideal destination.
