About Xcalak

The town of Xcalak, the southernmost on the Mexican Caribbean coastline, has become a model for sustainable eco-tourism in the Meso-American Reef System. In the last ten years for its conservation status, a result of a well thought out and implemented plan, in addition to its privileged location and heritage.

Xcalak is located within the Xcalak Reef National Marine Park, a Federal Marine Park with strict environmental regulations, both in the water and out.

It has been a focal point for studying natural resource management and a priority area for the Federal Government, The World Bank´s World Wildlife Fund and for many other researchers and naturalists.

It is not unusual for marine biologists working on their dissertations, high level conservation officials or professional photographers to join us on the dive boat.

When you come to Xcalak you will find an eclectic community of lifelong residents, expatriates and sustainable-tourism entrepreneurs working together to provide you with a collection of small beach inns, guest houses and eco-tour operations that make Xcalak a hidden gem for people looking for that last unspoiled frontier.

If its isolation (the good kind), overwhelming natural beauty and an authentic, well-worn fishing village as a backdrop setting for your vacation you seek, then you´ll be coming back to Xcalak over and over like many of our devoted repeat customers.

You can dive or go on excursions with XTC Dive Center no matter where you stay in Xcalak. There are mid-range hotels, inns, guesthouses and private homes on the beach road going north as well as a campground and budget accommodations in town.

There are a few properties specially suited for easy pick-up/access to take advantage of XTC´s famous full-valet diving services.

Drop us a line with your budget, group size and other ideas and the team @ XTC will work with you to make sure you have the best possible vacation in Xcalak.
