City overview
The Riviera Maya runs about 130 kilometres of Caribbean coast from Puerto Morelos south through Playa del Carmen, Mayakoba, Puerto Aventuras and Akumal to Tulum, and packs white sand, jungle cenotes and Maya cities into a single stretch of Highway 307. Playa del Carmen is the heart of it, a walkable beach town built around Quinta Avenida, and it is also where Jewish visitors will find the region's kosher scene. Two Chabad houses operate in Playa del Carmen and a third serves Tulum, between them running a synagogue, a mikvah, Shabbat meals and more than a dozen supervised kosher kitchens, bakeries and shops. It is one of the densest concentrations of kosher food anywhere in Latin America outside Mexico City, and it sits within walking distance of the beach.
Shabbat Meals To-Go at Beit Chabad Playa del Carmen
Riviera Maya
Beit Chabad's takeaway Shabbat service, cooking meat and pareve dishes to be collected before candle lighting and eaten wherever guests are staying. It runs alongside the centre's sit-down Shabbat meals and is aimed at families in hotels and rentals who would rather eat in their own room than at a communal table.
