Thinking of shooting in Riviera Maya?
We know the Riviera Maya like it’s our own set. It’s long, it’s hot, and the distances between Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Tulum can be deceiving, but when you’ve got locals like us on your side, finding the perfect beach (and the right people) becomes a whole lot easier. With our production and fixer services in the Riviera Maya, we handle everything from location scouting and casting to permits, camera gear, lighting, crew, DIT and VFX supervision. You bring the concept, we handle the rest, from the first call to the final cut. The Riviera Maya is a goldmine for any kind of shoot: swimwear and resort campaigns, travel and hotel content, underwater sequences, docuseries, music videos, you name it. Turquoise sea, cenotes, jungle and Mayan ruins. Let’s make something unforgettable.

Shooting in Riviera Maya makes you special…
The Riviera Maya is on another level, truly. Yes, it has white-sand beaches and warm weather almost all year round, but it’s also the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán peninsula: more than two thousand cenotes with crystal-clear water, the ruins of Tulum on a cliff above the sea, Cobá hidden in the jungle, the Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve and the flamingos of the lagoons. It has it all: five-star resorts and boutique hotels, the fishing village of Punta Allen, the colours of Bacalar and the international airport in Cancún with direct flights from the US and Europe. Of course, it also has the crews, the boats and the diving teams you need for the water. When you know the coast, there’s no better place to shoot.
The way we get involved in your production
Riviera Maya is your track for that car commercial you’ve got in mind.
Cars, bikes or motorbikes… they all look amazing on the coastal highway between Cancún and Tulum, on the straight roads that cut through the jungle towards Cobá or on the sand tracks of Punta Allen. Whether it’s a highway shot with the sea on one side or a curvy ride through the palms, we’ve got solid experience managing safe traffic control and all the filming protocols to shoot smoothly. Permits, locations and all that paperwork nobody wants to deal with? That’s on us.
01
Riviera Maya has everything your next fashion campaign needs. So do we.
Is your campaign going for that editorial, swimwear, resort or beach lifestyle look? The Riviera Maya has the perfect setting and at Fonktown we know how to make it shine. We find the right talent so they can do their thing while we nail the perfect shot of your collection on the white sand of Tulum, in the light of a cenote, on a rooftop in Playa del Carmen or on the docks of Bacalar. We’ve worked with brands that set global trends, and we know how to move on set so every look lands exactly where it should.
02
Your documentary takes the spotlight, Riviera Maya sets the scene.
Telling real stories has its own rhythm. Whether it’s a docuseries, an intimate portrait or a socially driven documentary, it all starts with finding the places and people that actually add something to the story. We’ve been driving this coast for years: we know the Mayan communities inland, the fishermen and lobster cooperatives of Punta Allen, the cenote guardians, the divers who map the underground rivers and the surfers and chefs who moved to Tulum. And if we don’t know it, we know who does.
03
Branded Content, your brand story told with purpose.
Who wouldn’t produce their branded content in the Riviera Maya with a team that already knows the coast, who to talk to, where to shoot and has the means to make it happen? Whether you’re creating content for your Reels, TikToks, YouTube videos or any other digital channel, the Riviera Maya offers beaches, jungle, ruins and luxury hotels within an hour of each other, plus the infrastructure to make it all run smoothly. When you know the ground, shooting fast and shooting well go hand in hand.
04
We will offer you the proper locations in Riviera Maya to carry out your project. We have access to private homes, natural parks, public institutions and buildings to make your project perfect.

Riviera Maya has it all, and then some
Beaches, cenotes and ruins that fit perfectly into any shot. From the archaeological site of Tulum and the pyramids of Cobá to the cenotes of Dos Ojos, Ik Kil and Kaan Luum, the lagoon of Bacalar, the Sian Ka’an reserve and Punta Allen, the beaches of Akumal and Xpu-Ha or the nightlife of Playa del Carmen, the coast offers options for every kind of campaign. And if you venture a little further, the map opens up to Chichén Itzá, the colonial city of Valladolid, the island of Holbox and the flamingos of Río Lagartos.
