Club Med Cancún Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Club Med Cancun spreads across the Punta Nizuc peninsula with three coastlines and four main zones: Central Village, Aguamarina family oasis, Jade Exclusive Collection, and the Sports and Wellness Island. Key decisions involve choosing a home base building, planning walking versus shuttle use across the 22 acre site, and matching beach, lagoon or reef access to your priorities.
| Area / Zone | Best For | Key Tip | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Village (Granate, Turquesa, Onice) | Guests who want the main pool, theater and buffet steps away | Book here to minimize walking to Soluna bar, La Hacienda and evening shows | Higher evening noise from theater, pool parties and central circulation |
| Aguamarina Family Oasis | Families needing kids focused rooms, pool and easy beach access | Prioritize ground floor for walk out lawn play and quick access to family pool | Longest walk to Sports Island and main lobby, shuttles may be needed with toddlers |
| Jade Exclusive Collection | Couples or guests wanting privacy, premium service and quick central access | Use Jade as a quiet base, main pool and La Hacienda are about three to five minutes away | Limited to Jade guests, suites are pricier and still mostly stair accessed |
| Sports and Wellness Island | Active travelers focused on tennis, trapeze, pickleball and lagoon side yoga | Plan dedicated trips here, it is a separate southern peninsula with concentrated sports | Twelve to fifteen minute walk from Aguamarina, can feel remote in heat or rain |
| Lagoon Side Buildings (Amatista, Obsidiana, Topacio) | Quiet stays with sunset views and calmer, less trafficked paths | Choose these for serenity and easy access to lagoon activities and sunset dock | Less breeze, humidity and mosquitoes can feel stronger than on ocean facing side |
| Punta Nizuc Reef and Oceanfront Beaches | Snorkeling, sailing and classic turquoise Caribbean views | Enter near Taco Arte or main pier for sheltered reef snorkeling close to shore | Reef and currents require respecting marked swim zones and organized access points |

The core layout at Club Med Cancun still revolves around a low rise village stretched along the Punta Nizuc peninsula, with circulation handled mainly on foot. Expect three to five minute walks between Jade, the main pool and La Hacienda, five to eight minutes from the lobby to Aguamarina, and up to fifteen minutes from Aguamarina to the Sports and Wellness Island, supported by rotating golf cart shuttles for longer or rain affected transfers.
2025 Club Med Cancún Map Guide
Start by picking your home zone along two main axes: north to south from Aguamarina’s family enclave down to the Sports and Wellness Island, and west to east from quiet lagoon sunsets to reef facing Caribbean beaches. Then plan movement, deciding when you will rely on walking versus shuttles for longer crossings. Match zones to your trip style, from family convenient Aguamarina to quiet lagoon buildings or secluded Jade for romantic, low noise stays.
What is the overall layout of Club Med Cancun, including main zones, buildings, and beachfront areas?
Club Med Cancun runs north to south along the Punta Nizuc peninsula, with four main zones and three distinct waterfronts.
The resort sits on about 22 acres at the end of the Hotel Zone, arranged as a low rise village instead of a single tower. The northeast flank faces the open Caribbean, the south edge fronts the Punta Nizuc reef lagoon, and the west side looks over the Nichupté Lagoon and sunset dock. Internal paths link these coasts in a loose spine.
The Central Village occupies the middle, with Granate, Turquesa and Onice buildings around the main pool, La Hacienda, Soluna bar and theater. North of this, the Aguamarina family oasis runs along the beach with its own reception, family suites and pool beside Taco Arte. East of the core, the Jade Exclusive Collection building sits close to the sea with a private pool and beach. The far southern tip forms the Sports and Wellness Island with tennis, trapeze and lagoon side facilities.
Where are all the restaurants and bars located within Club Med Cancun?
Restaurants cluster in the central village and Aguamarina beach zone, while bars anchor the main pool, theater hub, and Jade enclave.
Most dining and drinking spots line the Caribbean side spine from the central pool down to Aguamarina, with one bar in the Jade courtyard.
- La Hacienda sits beside the main pool and theater in the central village and handles breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- La Estancia lies near Soluna and the theater, forming a central Argentine grill and wine focused dinner hub.

- Soluna bar occupies the core plaza between main pool and theater, acting as the primary pre and post show bar.
- Las Velas bar sits on the main pool deck, serving daytime swimmers and poolside activities in the central village.
- The Beach Lounge bar supports Taco Arte and the Aguamarina pool, covering drinks along the northern family beach.
- The Jade Lounge bar is inside the Jade Exclusive Collection courtyard, serving that enclave and its quiet infinity pool.
Where are the main sports and activity areas located at Club Med Cancun?
Sports hubs cluster on the southern Sports Island, lagoon waterfront, and three main pool zones spread between Central Village and Aguamarina.
Activities sit in three bands, from the southern Sports and Wellness Island up through the central village pools to the family focused Aguamarina waterfront.
- Sports and Wellness Island anchors the south tip with tennis courts, trapeze rig, pickleball and a lagoon facing yoga pavilion.
- Lagoon waterfront near the Sports Island hosts motorized water sports like water skiing, wakeboarding and windsurfing instruction on flat water.
- Ocean side beach near the main pier supports Hobie Cat sailing and kayaking in the open Caribbean conditions.
- Main Pool in the Central Village forms the social activity hub with games, music and daily animation sessions.
- Aguamarina Pool in the northern family oasis delivers kid centered swimming, zero entry zones and adjacent Taco Arte dining.
- Jade infinity pool on the eastern seafront provides a quiet swim zone reserved for Exclusive Collection guests.
- Splash Park inside the family zone offers a shallow, zero depth water playground for toddlers and younger children.
Which buildings or areas at Club Med Cancun have the best-located rooms for views, quiet, and family convenience?
For views choose Jade or oceanfront Aguamarina, for quiet pick lagoon side blocks, for family convenience base in Aguamarina near its pool.
Different buildings trade off views, quiet and kid logistics, so match zones to what matters most.
- Jade Exclusive Collection sits near the Caribbean with large suites, strong sea views, quiet pool, and a short three to five minute walk to the main hub.
- Aguamarina family buildings line the northern beach, with oceanfront family suites and prized ground floors that open to lawn, pool, Taco Arte and splash zone.
- Lagoon side blocks Amatista, Obsidiana and Topacio are the calmest, with sunset views, softer foot traffic and quick access to the sunset dock and lagoon activities.
- Central Village buildings Granate, Turquesa and Onice are best for convenience, steps from main pool, Soluna bar, theater and buffet but with more evening noise.
- Guests needing minimal walking should focus on Jade or Central Village, while stroller heavy families benefit most from Aguamarina ground floor terraces.
What are the typical walking distances and times between the main areas of Club Med Cancun?
Most key areas connect by five to fifteen minute walks, with the longest stretch between Aguamarina and the southern Sports Island.
Within the 22 acre village, think in five, ten and fifteen minute segments rather than strict distances.
- Main lobby to Aguamarina reception typically takes about five to eight minutes along a mostly flat, paved garden path.
- Main lobby to Jade building is around three to five minutes, following the central spine toward the Caribbean side.
- Jade building to the main pool is roughly a three minute walk on a direct paved path, easy even with kids.
- Main pool to Taco Arte and the Aguamarina pool takes about five to seven minutes, either via beach or garden paths.
- Aguamarina to the Sports and Wellness Island is the longest internal route, around twelve to fifteen minutes at normal pace.
- Lobby to the public bus stop on Boulevard Kukulcan is about a twenty minute walk along the long entrance driveway.
- A full internal jogging loop linking Aguamarina, Central Village and Sports Island runs roughly one and a half to two kilometers.
How does Club Med Cancun’s layout and scale compare to nearby resorts like Hotel Xcaret and Club Med Punta Cana?
Club Med Cancun is compact and peninsular, smaller than Xcaret’s mega park layout and less sprawling than Club Med Punta Cana.
Club Med Cancun vs others on layout and feel:
| Resort | Layout / Scale | Movement Style | Water / Beach Pattern | Best Fit On The Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Club Med Cancun | About 22 acres on a peninsula with three shorelines and distinct zones | Mostly walking within a low rise village, plus short shuttles | Three small coves plus lagoon and nearby reef for direct snorkeling | Guests wanting contained walking, on site sports and easy reef access |
| Hotel Xcaret Mexico | Mega resort integrated into multiple eco parks with rivers and caves | Long internal walks and transfers around park like grounds | River inlets and cove like pockets rather than a simple beach strip | Travelers planning daily park outings more than classic beach days |
| Club Med Punta Cana | Flat, wide property that feels more spread out along one long beach | Extended walks along a linear beachfront village | Continuous sandy oceanfront, reef access usually via boats | Guests prioritizing long beach walks over direct from shore snorkeling |
In practical terms, Club Med Cancun feels more intimate and easier to mentally map than Hotel Xcaret’s theme park scale or Punta Cana’s long beachfront, while still requiring some planning for longer walks between Aguamarina and the southern Sports Island.
How are the Aguamarina family oasis and Jade Exclusive Collection areas laid out within Club Med Cancun?
Aguamarina forms a self contained family beachfront zone at the north tip, while Jade sits mid east as a gated luxury courtyard by the sea.
Aguamarina stretches along the northern oceanfront, slightly apart from the Central Village. Two main Aguamarina buildings run parallel to the beach, with a small reception at the inland side and family suites facing lawns, pool and sea. The Aguamarina pool, splash park and Taco Arte restaurant line the beachfront, so families can move in a tight triangle of room, pool and dining without crossing the rest of the resort.
Jade is positioned closer to the center on the eastern Caribbean side. The building forms a U shaped, inward facing block with its own reception, concierge and quiet infinity pool enclosed in a private courtyard. A reserved beachfront strip lies just seaward of Jade, while a short three to five minute walk along the main paths links this enclave to the main pool and La Hacienda.
Where is Club Med Cancun located within the Cancun Hotel Zone and relative to nearby snorkeling spots like Punta Nizuc reef?
Club Med Cancun sits at km 21.5 on Punta Nizuc, at the Hotel Zone’s quiet southern tip beside the protected Punta Nizuc reef.
The resort anchors the end of Boulevard Kukulcan, on the Punta Nizuc peninsula rather than the continuous mid zone beach strip. North along the road lie the denser tower hotels toward Cancun City, while south and west of the property begin the federally protected marine park and mangroves. The Punta Nizuc section of the Mesoamerican Reef lies just offshore to the south, forming a sheltered snorkeling lagoon that guests access directly from the Club Med shoreline or via very short boat runs.
What running or jogging routes are available within and around the grounds of Club Med Cancun?
Runners use a 1.5–2 km internal loop plus the Boulevard Kukulcan ciclopista, with flat paved options for sunrise or longer training.
Within and just outside the resort, runners can choose short loops or extend out along the Hotel Zone cycle path.
- Internal perimeter loop links Aguamarina, Central Village and the Sports Island for roughly 1.5 to 2 kilometers of mostly flat paved paths.
- Lagoon side segment near the Sports and Wellness Island gives quieter stretches with views over Nichupté Lagoon and fewer pedestrians.
- Caribbean side paths between Jade, the main pool and Aguamarina create shorter out and back sunrise runs close to the sea.
- Early morning runs, around sunrise, reduce heat and limit interaction with service carts and guest foot traffic.
- Long distance runners can exit the gate and join the ciclopista along Boulevard Kukulcan, a flat, extended cycle and running track.
Which paths, ramps, and elevators at Club Med Cancun provide wheelchair-accessible routes between key areas?
Wheelchair users rely on flat paved paths and key ramps linking lobby, central dining and theater, with few elevators and limited beach access.
Most accessible movement happens at ground level along the main paved spine that connects the lobby, central village and family areas.
- The primary flat route runs between the lobby, La Hacienda buffet, Soluna bar and the theater on wide, mostly level paved paths.
- Ramps are installed at key thresholds such as La Estancia, the Boutique and the Theater, avoiding single entrance steps.
- Public restrooms with wheelchair access are concentrated around the lobby, main dining zone and Aguamarina style family facilities.
- Residential buildings mostly lack elevators, so guests needing step free access should request ground floor rooms in any chosen zone.
- Beach access is the main limitation, with no continuous hard surface tracks over sand, so wheelchair movement usually stops at the promenade edge.
Where are the most scenic and romantic photo spots located around Club Med Cancun?
Top photo spots cluster at the lagoon sunset dock, Jade infinity pool and main Caribbean pier, each with distinct light and backdrops.
Several locations organize naturally into prime romantic and scenic shooting spots.
- Sunset Dock on the Nichupté Lagoon side gives true over water sunsets, soft golden hour light and quiet, less crowded surroundings.
- Jade infinity pool lines up clean architecture with the Caribbean horizon, ideal for luxe couple portraits and calm blue toned scenes.
- Main pier on the reef facing side captures the full gradient of turquoise water, perfect for wide landscape shots and classic beach images.
What are the recommended walking routes between key points at Club Med Cancun, such as from the Jade building to the main pool?
Shortest route from Jade to the main pool uses the central spine, while longer garden and beach paths link Aguamarina and the Sports Island.
Use the main paved spine whenever you want the most direct, stroller friendly movement between zones.
- Jade to main pool: exit toward the interior courtyard side, follow the central paved path inland and you reach the main pool in a short, nearly straight walk.
- Jade to La Hacienda: continue a few steps past the main pool on the same spine, with La Hacienda sitting just beyond on the inland side.
- Aguamarina to main pool: start at Taco Arte or the family pool, then choose either the shaded garden path inland or the beachside path south until you meet the central hub.
- Aguamarina to lobby: from Aguamarina reception, follow the interior garden path south toward the main pool and keep inland to reach the lobby without touching sand.
- Aguamarina to Sports and Wellness Island: walk south through the central hub, then stay on the paved route as it narrows toward the peninsula tip where courts and trapeze sit.
- Lagoon buildings to sunset dock: from Amatista or Obsidiana, follow lagoon facing paths westward, keeping the water on your side until the wooden sunset dock appears.
How private is the beach at Club Med Cancun, and where are its boundaries relative to public areas?
Club Med Cancun’s beach is de facto private, bracketed by rocky headlands and naval zones that block public through traffic and vendors.
The resort sits at the Punta Nizuc peninsula tip, away from the continuous Hotel Zone sidewalk. To the north, rocky outcrops and neighboring property edges interrupt any easy shoreline passage. To the south, a naval inlet and marine park restrictions limit public access. These natural and regulatory barriers mean almost no passing beach walkers or roaming vendors, so the sand in front of the resort functions as guest only in practice, even though the coastline itself remains legally federal.
What are the interior room and floor-plan layouts in the Aguamarina building at Club Med Cancun?
Aguamarina suites use a split family layout, with kids near the entrance, a separate bath zone, and a partially divided parents bedroom.
Aguamarina family suites are designed as two practical zones along a shallow corridor. The entry typically opens into the children’s area, with twin beds or a sleeping alcove, its own storage and a television so kids have an independent space. Close by sits a segmented sanitary zone, where the toilet is often separate from the main bathroom, and the shared bath room includes a bathtub and generous counter space suited to family routines.
Beyond this, a sliding partition, curtain or door divides into the parents side, with a king bed and small lounge area. Ground floor units extend onto a terrace that flows directly to lawn and the Aguamarina pool, effectively enlarging the living area and allowing adults to supervise outdoor play from the room.
Where can I find the Club Med Cancun section within the official Club Med website’s sitemap or site structure?
