There’s plenty of space to spread out and relax and the calm waters are perfect for jumping in and cooling off.

Oasis Hydro Massage Tub

While the kiddos are splashing, parents should take full advantage of the Oasis Hydro Massage Tub and the thousands of relaxing bubbles.

Protecting the Coral Reef

As part of an initiative to help protect local wildlife and the surrounding Mesoamerican reef barrier, Playa Mia Grand Beach Park is a sunscreen-free beach. Some sunscreen chemicals have been found to promote the spread of the White Syndrome Epidemic. Preventing the spread of the white band reef disease, which is rapidly killing healthy coral reefs all over the Caribbean, is a top priority as we need healthy and stress-free coral if we want it to prevail against the syndrome. Playa Mia encourages guests to protect themselves with UV resistant clothing and hats to block the sun. Working together, you can ensure Cozumel remains beautiful for those who haven’t visited yet!

With multiple package options, it’s easy to customize your Playa Mia experience based on your needs. Cruising with kids? Playa Mia Grand Bach Park has everything you need to keep them entertained while you sit back and enjoy the sunshine. Looking for adventure? Playa Mia has more than enough to go around. For those stepping off a cruise ship in Cozumel, the best place to go to get the most out of your shore experience is Playa Mia Grand Beach Park.
