Frequently asked questions

The best time to visit depends on what you want to get out of your luxury holiday in Mexico. The best time to visit is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April. During these months, the weather is warm and dry, making it ideal for outdoor activities and exploring the country. 

Best time for beaches in Mexico?

Best time for sightseeing in Mexico?

For sightseeing in Mexico, the optimal time is during the shoulder seasons of late autumn (November) and early spring (March to April). During these months, the weather is pleasant, and popular tourist sites are less crowded. This is an excellent time to visit historical and cultural attractions such as the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, the colonial city of Oaxaca, and Mexico City. 

Is Mexico hot all year round?

No, Mexico is not hot all year round. The climate varies significantly depending on the region. Coastal and lowland areas tend to be warm year-round, while highland areas, such as Mexico City and the central highlands, experience cooler temperatures, especially in the winter months (November to February). 

Does it rain in Mexico?

Yes, it does rain in Mexico, primarily during the wet season from May to October. Rainfall is more frequent and intense in the southern and central regions, while the northern and coastal areas experience less rain. The wet season can still be a good time to visit, as the rain often comes in short, heavy bursts, and the landscape is lush and green. 

Best time for quieter holidays in Mexico?
