  • Are these details incorrect?
  • 1. La Isla, Cancún

    The latest and most stylish of the Hotel Zone’s malls, built as an artificial island surrounded by Venetian-style “canals”. It’s the place for major fashion names, like DKNY and Dolce e Gabbana.

  • 2. Plaza Caracol, Cancún

    One of the biggest and most varied of the Cancún malls, with engaging toy shops, lots of beach-wear, fine jewelry stores and a huge choice of restaurants in an attractive, light-filled building.

  • 3. Plaza Kukulcán, Cancún

    Another giant mall with every kind of shopping, including an especially big choice of cigar, jewelry, souvenir and adults’ and kids’ fashion stores.

  • 4. Forum by the Sea, Cancún

    Shopping highlights here are perfume and jewelry stores and fashion labels like Levi’s and Diesel. It also has a huge Hard Rock at its centre, a food court, and clubs alongside.

  • 5. Coral Negro, Cancún

    Not a plush modern mall but a rambling jewelry and handicrafts bazaar, a few steps from the Forum. In among its many stalls you can find fine traditional craftwork, as well as a lot of junk.

  • 6. Ki–Huic Souvenir Market, Cancún

    Ciudad Cancún’s souvenir/flea market has tightly packed stalls piled with handicrafts from attractive to tacky, surrounded by endless rows of T-shirts.

  • 7. Mercado 28, Cancún

    The town market is the place for old-style shopping – giant stands of huarache sandals and panama hats, and tables full of fresh vegetables and fruit – plus a great food court (see Mercado 28 Restaurants, Cancún).

  • 8. Avenida Hidalgo, Isla Mujeres Town

    Isla’s main street, and its main drag for leisurely browsing. Here and in parallel Av. Juárez small shops offer painted wooden birds, original T-shirts and local shell and coral jewelry.

  • 9. Telart, Playa del Carmen

    Fine quality Mexican textiles (telas ), in traditional or original designs, can be found here. A more original shop than most around Playa’s Quinta Avenida.

  • 10. La Calaca, Playa del Carmen

    Another superior-quality handicrafts store. Traditional, often bizarre festival masks from all over Mexico are a speciality, as well as superb ceramics.
