Workation in Cancun: the essentials
Until Mexican planners picked a sandbar on the Caribbean around 1970, there was no Cancún to speak of. Two places share the name today: the Hotel Zone, a long strip between the Nichupté lagoon and the open sea, and the inland city where most residents live and shop. Longer stays usually make more sense in the second, with the beach a bus ride away and coworking spaces available if your rental does not suit. The international airport, about 15 km out, has connections across the Americas and to Europe, and ferries for Isla Mujeres leave from Puerto Juárez. Sargassum can foul the beaches in summer, and a city this young has no old quarter to wander.
