As winter drags on across most of the United States, many couples dream of relaxing on the beach or moving south to protect themselves from the cold. Holidays in Mexico can be the ideal solution for winter. Here are some of the most romantic vacation spots in Mexico. Best of all, because Mexico is just a short plane ride from many cities in the United States, travel can be more affordable than you might think.

Travel to Valentin Imperial Maya

The Valentin Imperial Maya is a strictly adults-only resort. It is located on Playa del Secreto (the Secret Beach), which is not far from Cancun. Here adults can enjoy direct access to the sea, nine different restaurants, two swimming pools and eleven different bars. Guests can choose from several different suites, including suites with a private Jacuzzi. The resort is all-inclusive, which means that guests can enjoy all that the Spanish-style resort has to offer.

Travel to Banyan Mayakoba Riviera Maya

Located on the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Banyan Mayakoba Riviera Maya is accessible from the Cancun International Airport and in a short shuttle ride. The resort is just 10 minutes from Playa del Carmen, offering couples a fun place to spend a day outside the resort. The complex has 132 private villas with pools, each with views of the Caribbean Sea. Couples can enjoy a variety of spa treatments in one of 16 different treatment pavilions; However, if couples’ spa treatments aren’t your idea of ​​a great vacation, the resort also has a golf course that takes advantage of three natural ecosystems: dense mangroves, jungle, and sandy beaches.

Travel to El Dorado Maroma

El Dorado Maroma is just 40 minutes south of Cancun International Airport. It is reportedly one of the more romantic boutique resorts and is strictly for adults only. Couples can choose from several different suites, including those with ocean views, hot tubs, and more. Guests can enjoy butler service on the beach, which means they will never be looking for a clean beach towel, new reading materials, cold drinks, and snacks. If simply relaxing on the beach isn’t enough, guests can participate in sport fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and more.

Travel to Las Ventanas al Paraiso

Located just 15 minutes from Cabo San Lucas, Las Ventanas al Paraíso is one of the most exclusive (and expensive) resorts in the country. Couples can take advantage of every touch of luxury available, including marble bathrooms and even infinity-edge hot tubs in some rooms. If you are a couple who hates traveling without their beloved pet, you are in luck because the dogs can receive gourmet meals and even massages. However, Fido is not the only one who can be pampered. Human visitors can take tequila lessons, go out on a boat to look for whales, play golf, play tennis, or get their own massages at the resort’s spa.

These are just a few of the places couples can visit on a romantic Mexico vacation, so there’s nothing close to an all-inclusive list. Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon or want to celebrate an anniversary, a Mexico vacation can be the perfect way to relax and reconnect.
