Most Romantic Things to Do on Your Mexico Honeymoon
If you’ve just got married and you need a suitably inspiring setting in which to enjoy your first week or so as a couple, then the appeal of Mexico might be difficult to ignore. It’s home to some of the most impressive resorts in the world, and offers a winning blend of history, culture, food, and amazing natural beauty. But how are you going to fill the time together during your travels through this incredible country? What are the most romantic things to do on your Mexico honeymoon? There are a few activities worth considering.
Sunset romance on Mexico’s beaches
On the country’s coasts, you might be drawn toward a selection of iconic beaches and seaside cities. Cancun, Tulum, and Los Cabos all offer scope for private dinners beside the sea. On the west coast, you might go on a catamaran cruise, and take in the view of the sunset over the ocean. In Riviera Maya, there’s ample scope for secluded, barefoot strolls along the sand.
However you ultimately decide to spend the time, it’s clear that a stay at the beach can form a memorable, inspiring part of your Mexico holiday.
Immersive Mayan culture and ancient ruins
Human beings have been living and thriving in this part of the world since long before the first settlers arrived from Europe. If you want to explore the legacy of the land, then you’ll want to make time for some of the more important Mayan sites, like Chichén Itzá and Tulum.
After you’re done exploring Mayan history, you can then retire to a nearly cenote. These are natural sinkholes, formed by collapsing limestone bedrock, which are found throughout the Yucatán Peninsula. They were considered by the Maya to be gateways to the underworld, and they’re popular with snorkelers and divers.
Of course, if you’re going to get the most from these attractions, then you’ll need to avoid the crowds. Early-morning private tours might allow you to really appreciate the treasures that you’re walking (or swimming) through.
Unique couple experiences in nature and wellness
Many of the experiences you can find in the natural parts of the country are highly supportive of mental health. When the season is right, you might go looking for whale sharks off the coast of the Riviera Maya. There are diving opportunities, too, as well as high-end honeymoon resorts that offer experiences like couples’ massages, as well as more traditional Mayan rituals, like the temazcal, which involves sitting in a structure known as a ‘sweat lodge’ , filled with steam and aromatic herbs.
Food, nightlife and city adventures for UK couples
Any good tour of Mexico should make time for its food. There are a number of options to think about besides tacos and tequila – though both of these things should be sampled during a tour of Mexico City, or other major cultural hubs. Mariachi music, street food, and a few nightclubs might be sampled, depending on your preferences.
