Guests at Now Resorts & Spas have access to some of the most pristine and powdery white sand beaches in the world. During their stay, families love to flex their creativity chops and put their sand castle-making skills to the test. The Van Matre family took this to heart, and we must say–the results certainly do not disappoint!

Here are just two examples of magnificent sand creations the family completed during their stay at Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun.

Standing much taller than their first creation, the family’s second sand castle is a veritable feat of creative—and architectural–genius.

The Van Matre family proudly poses with their beautiful castle crafted out of gorgeous white sand.
