November is almost upon us, and bringing with it dark dreary days, brisk winds, shivering trees & barren fields. Sorry, did that just depress you? And the only thing many of us look forward to is Thanksgiving (Nov. 28th) whereby we get to enjoy heaping scoopfuls of stuffed turkey & gravy to soothe our weary bones.

Imagine spending Thanksgiving somewhere warm, tropical, with white soft sandy beaches and nary a barren field to be found? Well then just imagine Playa del Carmen on the sunny shores of the turquoise Caribbean surrounded by lush tropical landscaping!

And November in Playa del Carmen is rocking with festivals and events for the whole family! As if it’s not enough that Playa del Carmen enjoys subtropical warm temperatures year round, there are plenty of things to do if lying on a lounger 24/7 isn’t your thing.

Here’s a list of November events that will make you give “thanks” for this beautiful paradise!

PGA Mayakoba Golf Classic Nov. 11-17th

The OHL Classic at Mayakoba made golf history when the tournament was first conducted in 2007, becoming Mexico’s Only PGA TOUR Event. The tournament continues to establish itself as one of the finest stops on the PGA TOUR schedule in the eyes of players, fans and sponsors alike. With the wonders of the Riviera Maya, the beauty of the Mayakoba resort and the warmth and hospitality of the Mexican people, this PGA Golf Classic is truly unique. Enjoy a week of competitive golf, entertainment & activities for the whole family! (A Greg Norman design) PGA Golf Classic

Taste of Playa Nov. 24th

Heads up fellow “foodies”, here’s the chance to eat international cuisine that will make your taste buds do the mambo! Chefs from throughout the Riviera Maya will showcase their culinary talents, along with cooking demonstrations, wine & cocktail tastings set against the backdrop of the sparkling turquoise Caribbean sea! Thanks in part to the 40 restaurants & bars that will be partaking in this scrumptious food event. (Fan favorites last year: sashimi tuna rorolls, fish ceviche, watermelon martinis, salted caramel ice cream, and melt-in-your-mouth French pastries!) Taste of Playa
