Akumal is a coastal resort town located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, situated between Playa del Carmen and Tulum on the Riviera Maya. The name "Akumal" means "place of the turtles" in the Mayan language, reflecting the area's significance as a nesting ground for sea turtles.
Established in 1958 as a community centered around scuba diving, the town has gradually developed while maintaining its connection to marine life and local culture. The area features a mix of Maya archaeological heritage and natural attractions, including coral reefs and cenotes (natural sinkholes). While tourism plays a significant role in Akumal's economy, the town has maintained a relatively peaceful atmosphere compared to larger resort destinations in the region. Local cultural initiatives and environmental conservation efforts, particularly focusing on sea turtle protection, form an important part of the community's identity.
