By Christin Parcerisa Vigueras Updated on November 8, 2021 Close Photo: Courtesy of Palace Resorts Traveling as a couple is much more than just sharing a new adventure — it can even strengthen a relationship. Jet setting together can bring couples closer and improve their communication. So, why not make it even better by choosing a destination geared toward romance? 25 Best Worldwide Vacation Spots for Couples Mexico is known for its idyllic destinations, with soft white-sand beaches, stunning sunsets, and cozy, small towns. Still, some places have found a way to boost romance by creating bespoke experiences that take a couple's holiday to the next level. From the favorites, like resorts nestled along the Caribbean Sea, to more unexpected picks like a vineyard in Ensenada, there are plenty of options to seduce already starry-eyed lovers. Here are 10 of the most romantic experiences in Mexico. Dine Among Mangroves Courtesy of Rosewood Mayakoba Guests staying at the sumptuous suites at Rosewood Mayakoba can indulge in the Over the Water Romance Experience. The hotel is known for its natural beauty, with lush mangroves surrounding the lagoon's canals — and this experience includes a dinner for two on a boat that cruises through the lagoon, so the couple can enjoy their meal under the stars while surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. For those who prefer the sound of waves and soft sand under their feet, the resort has a private location on the beach where they can organize an exclusive dinner — with champagne, of course. Another option is to make the most of what the Riviera Maya has to offer, and cenotes are just the answer. Rosewood's team can move the dinner location to the property's cenote, immersed in the jungle's wonders. Say I Do Courtesy of Viceroy Riviera Maya The Viceroy Riviera Maya has taken love to the next level; they even offer"I Do" and anniversary packages for couples looking to tie the knot or renew their vows in an intimate ceremony. The luxe Mexican hideaway even offers an all-inclusive package, perfect for couples who want to just focus on each other — and perhaps enjoy a few private dinners on the beach, sipping sparkling Mexican wine under the stars — and know every last part of their vacation has already been taken care of. Go All-inclusive Are you the kind of person who gets anxious when you have to plan a vacation? Nothing kills romance like stress. So, for a stress-free, adults-only, romantic getaway, Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun came up with an all-inclusive option. If you think all-inclusive doesn't sound very romantic, you might just be surprised. The resort has an exclusive selection of dining options, including Lumière restaurant, with an indulgent multiple-course French tasting menu. During the day, they've organized water activities and outings for couples, and they have an indoor hydrotherapy pool to unwind in during the evening. If you need an extra dose of relaxation, the Spa has 10 indoor couples' suites to treat you with a wrap or a massage, such as the Aroma Essence Massage that blends reflexology with aromatherapy. Reconnect With a Ceremony Tulum has a strong connection to nature and pre-Hispanic traditions. La Valise has captured that essence with its artistic bungalow aesthetics in each of its 11 rooms. The boutique hotel offers a very original array of experiences to share as a couple. They have ceremonies inspired by Mayan traditions to heal, grow, connect, and transform. Some of them are focused on opening your heart, aligning, and reconnecting, such as the Couples' Lunar Ceremony, which includes a nighttime massage under the moon; the Couples' Fire Ceremony, which mixes a cacao massage and an exchange of vows; and the Mayan Wedding Ceremony, guided by a shaman. But not everything is just about nourishing the spirit, this place also takes great care of your palate. They organize a mezcal tasting workshop for two guided by a local artisanal mezcal brand that takes the couple not only through the tasting journey but also through the story and culture of this agave drink. For an even more intimate experience, the hotel can organize exclusive dinners on your room's private deck or terrace. These Over-the-top Honeymoons Are Adventures That You'll Never Forget Relax on Love Beach Los Cabos has a romantic soul, and if you need proof, you just need to visit the Playa del Amor (Love Beach), close to the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas. There are two theories regarding the name of this beach. One says it's the place where the water of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean cross paths, but others tell the legend of a forbidden love story between a sailor and a local woman during the 18th century. Whichever story you prefer, this is a paradise for lovers who are looking for a secluded spot where they can watch sea lions, rays, and colorful fish. After a day on the beach, there's not a better place to unwind than the spa at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, an intimate haven for couples. Here you can find two treatment rooms dedicated to couples, Agua Serena and Arena Dorada suites, and treatments designed meant to help couples relax and reconnect. After massages, wraps, and soaks, dress for dinner at Estiatorio Milos, a horseback ride along the beach, or a hike to the secret Santiago Oasis, surrounded by canyons and waterfalls. Try a Mayan Ritual The mysticism of Yucatan evokes legends of wisemen, priests, and lovers from ancient civilizations. Chable Yucatan captures this essence with its lush vegetation, antique hacienda architecture, and a private cenote to become one with nature. For couples, they have designed a unique experience that includes accommodation in a "casita" — what they call their villas nestled within the jungle — with a private pool decorated for the occasion. The spa is one of the highlights of the resort and having a 60-minute couple massage is a completely different experience when the location is on a wooden deck overlooking the pristine waters of the cenote. After a day at the spa, enjoying the pool made of green petrified forest stone, or participating in one of the Mayan rituals like the temazcal, a type of traditional sweat lodge, it's time to enjoy another local treasure: the food. The tasting menu at Ixi'im Restaurant is a great option, but for a more romantic ambiance, dinner can be served at your private residence or at terraces and special places around the property. Sip and Sleep Under the Stars Thirsty for originality? There's a different type of accommodation in Baja California's Valle de Guadalupe. The Campera Bubble Hotel's 12 rooms are not like any other — they're large bubbles set among the Docepiedras vineyard. The front and the roof of the bubble are entirely see-through so you get to see the vines and millions of stars. Sleeping under the stars with your loved one is romantic in itself, but now the hotel added a sunset dinner experience to the mix. It consists of a private dinner outdoors with a gorgeous set up next to your bubble. The hotel's restaurant, Doce, organizes a private menu for two with a local wine pairing. Lovers who are also wine lovers will enjoy wine-tasting options during the day, too, with more than 100 wineries to visit in the area. Flirt With Legends San Miguel de Allende's colonial architecture, cobbled streets, and iconic blown glass hearts are just a few examples of how this magical town vibrates with romance. And if you're up for more, only an hour away, in the city of Guanajuato, is one every lover must visit: the alley of the kiss. The legend says a couple with a forbidden love met here because their balconies were so close together they could even kiss. They met every night in secret, kissing under the stars, until tragedy pulled them apart. Now, couples from everywhere visit this place and kiss while standing on the third step, the narrowest part of the alley, and wish for everlasting love. Heat Up Your Spa Treatment Courtesy of Andaz Mayakoba Candles are romance's best friend, so the Naum Wellness & Spa at Andaz Mayakoba has made them an integral part of their treatments for couples. The Andaz spa offers Love Rituals, including the Eternal Romance Ritual, meant to renew the spirit of love. It includes a relaxing treatment with essential oils and a hot stone massage. There's also the Journey for Couples ritual, which begins with a foot bath that symbolizes the return to the path as a couple and continues with a relaxing couple's massage and a cleansing facial. Cocoon at a Tented Resort With just 15 luxury tents surrounded by 48 acres of lush forest, Naviva, a Four Seasons Resort, invites couples to unplug and reconnect with nature and each other. The adults-only all-inclusive retreat in Punta Mita only accommodates up to 30 guests at a time, ensuring a private and serene experience. And it's not just the tented suites — equipped with outdoor showers, private pools, fire pits, and sun decks — that make the stay so special. Upon arrival, guests are assigned a personal guide who helps arrange customized activities like an intimate dinner at the property’s cliffside restaurant Copal Cocina or a guided hike followed by a picnic in the jungle. Couples looking to deepen their connection can partake in a private temazcal ceremony in the on-site House of Heat, where a dedicated tamazcalero helps guests focus on specific areas such as devotion or gratitude around a blazing fire pit.
