    Tucked inland south of Tulum in Bacalar, Amainah is an adults-only boutique retreat designed for relaxation and sustainability. With just 16 suites set above the water to protect the delicate ecosystem, this tranquil hideaway blends modern comforts with a deep respect for nature.

    Our lagoon-view suite was a peaceful oasis, offering panoramic water views from a private balcony with a hammock. Inside, the contemporary space featured two queen beds, a rain shower, eco-friendly toiletries, and thoughtful touches like a stocked minibar, Nespresso machine, Smart TV, AC, and plush cotton robes.

    Every detail at Amainah reflects the region’s rich heritage. Designed by a Yucatecan architectural firm, the resort incorporates locally sourced materials—palapa umbrellas made from palm leaves, handcrafted wooden furniture from nearby communities, and a dock built from sapote, a prized wood cherished in the Maya world.

    At the water’s edge, guests can unwind by the infinity pool, lounge in Bali bed cocoons, or take to the lagoon with kayaks and paddleboards. The breezy Mirador Terrace is the perfect spot to sip a cool drink while soaking in the view.

    One of the most romantic hotels in Mexico, Amainah Bacalar is an experience that feels like a total immersion into nature.

    2. Hotel Xcaret Arte in Playa del Carmen

    Drawing inspiration from Mexican heritage from pre-Colombian to contemporary times, Hotel Xcaret Arte celebrates cuisine, architectural design and creativity. This romantic all-inclusive resort is ideal for active, foodie couples.  

    The second property in a hotel collection created by Grupo Xcaret, this adults-only resort features seven included restaurants, nine gastronomy experiences, 10 bars/cafes, a spa with indoor/outdoor hydrotherapy circuit and five themed buildings offering art-focused workshops.

    In addition to all-inclusive access to the Xcaret Eco-Adventure parks, the food and drink at this romantic resort are also included.

    The gourmet cuisine is under the creative direction of acclaimed chefs including Chef Paco Méndez (best known for Michelin-starred Hoja Santa in Barcelona), Chinese and Puebla cuisine by Chef Jonatan Gomez Luna, Mexican Mediterranean cuisine by Chef Franco Maddalozzo, regional Oaxacan cuisine by Chef Alejandro Ruiz and Yucatecan-Lebanese cuisine by Chef Roberto Solis. 

    Check rates and availability of Hotel Xcaret Arte on Booking.com. 

    🌟 Pro Tip: Given all the things to do at Xcaret Arte, this is also a great spot for an all-inclusive girls getaway in Mexico.

    3. Azucar, Tulum: A Secluded Hotel in Tulum

    Couples looking for a secluded honeymoon in Tulum won’t be disappointed with the Azucar Hotel, located in the Reserva Sian Kaan.

    Although it’s just a 15-minute drive away from Tulum’s lively main hub, it’s a world away in vibe. 

    It may very well be the most romantic hotel in Mexico. This distinction is not so much for what it offers, but for its secluded location.

    Don’t imagine a plush, luxury hotel with swimming pools, plunge pools, jacuzzi, spas and restaurants.

    This is a much simpler place. It features beautiful wooden cabins with direct access to the beach. The beautifully decorated rooms have only the essential amenities, in line with the efforts to run in the most ecological way possible.

    Related: Be sure to check out our list of the Most Romantic Honeymoon Destinations in the Caribbean for Every Budget.

    There are no air conditioners – just a fan and plenty of windows (with screens and mosquito nets) to let the cool breeze in at night.

    There’s nothing better than falling asleep to complete, blissful silence, broken only by the sound of waves, to then wake up and throw on a swimsuit and go directly to the beach.

    The beach, far from the crowds of Tulum, is nicely isolated. It comes with sun beds  in front of the cabins, a couple of small local restaurants nearby and other equally isolated and hidden hotels nearby. 

    This area is so romantic, it’s not uncommon to see weddings being celebrated right at the beach!

    4. Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets

    Looking for an island hideaway in Mexico’s Caribbean? This dreamy 125-suite, all-inclusive, adult-only luxury hideaway opened in 2023 and is stunning, exclusive and pricey.

    It’s located in the southern zone of Isla Mujeres, 30 minutes by private boat from Marina Hacienda del Mar at Dreams Vista Cancun on the mainland.

    With its Bali beds for two and secluded, palm-fringed pools cascading down a cliff, Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets is ultra-romantic for couples.

    Butler service, 24-hour in-room dining, upscale cuisine, infinity pools galore and no set check-in or check-out times make for an unforgettable stay.

    The private, white sand beach with no sargassum seaweed also makes this a top choice for a couples’ luxury stay near Cancun.

    Check out our complete review of Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets to learn more about this top romantic resort in Mexico.

    5. Hotel Boutique 1850, Guanajuato City: A Romantic Historic Hotel 

    Alley of the Kiss in Guanajuato Mexico.
    Alley of the Kiss in Guanajuato Mexico features homes so close a couple can exchange a kiss between balconies

    It’s no surprise that there’s a wealth of dreamy hotels to choose from in Guanajuato City. This is after all, the home of  El Callejon del Beso or the Alley of the Kiss, the heart of a tragic Mexican legend.

    According to the tale, the two balconies between the two buildings were where two star-crossed lovers would meet to share a stolen kiss. Tragically, the maiden was killed and her young lover threw himself in despair onto the pavement below.

    But today, modern couples take their turn standing on the third step beneath the balconies in the hope that they will be guaranteed 15 years of happiness.

    In the heart of the narrow alleyways, winding streets and colourful restaurants and bars in the heart of colonial Guanajuato, is the stunning design hotel Hotel Boutique 1850, one of Mexico’s most romantic boutique hotels. 

    In addition to its award-winning restaurant Casa Valadez, it’s home to a full-service spa as well as a sky bar featuring some of the city’s best views. It all adds up to everything you need for a romantic weekend getaway in Mexico. 

    Check rates and availability at Hotel Boutique 1850 on Booking.com.

    6. Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Riviera Maya

    Pampering, seclusion and opulent surroundings are the three “must have” features for us when considering a luxury honeymoon or romantic getaway.

    Add in amazing beach views, comfortable loungers, top notch food, large outdoor bathtub and private pool and it’s easy to see why Banyan Tree Mayakoba raises the bar for romantic properties!

    The property is set on a pristine stretch of beach in the Riviera Maya, one of the.best Mexican vacation spots for couples.  The sugary white sand and rich turquoise water scream romance for your beach setting.

    Each villa comes with two bicycles so you can have a romantic ride over to the beach or restaurants throughout the property. The service throughout is impeccable but our favourite was the beach staff as we indulged in the comfortable loungers. They offer full service bar and menu and keep your waters stocked during the hot summer sun.

    There are several restaurants on-site. Many of them have outdoor patio or terrace options with romantic lighting for an amazing setting. There are also several options for secluded dining features with your significant other if you choose to indulge.

    One of our favourite features in our villa was the large outdoor bathtub. For an added romantic feature, schedule a themed tub experience to include rose petals, champagne and candles.

    The shining stars of this luxury property are the massive private pools included with each villa. Relax in the privacy of your own oasis in one of the largest private pools we have experienced.

    Overall Banyan Tree Mayakoba set a new standard for us when seeking romantic properties for our couple’s trip!

    7. El Dorado Casitas Royale, Puerto Morelos

    One of the most romantic all-inclusive resorts in Mexico is the El Dorado Casitas Royale in Puerto Morelos, about 20 minutes south of Cancun.

    The Casitas Royale Resort was built with couples and romance in mind, and you can see that in every aspect of the rooms and surroundings.

    Looking for a couples resort in Mexico with a private pool? Here, every rooms has a private pool. Some are swim-ups, but even the second-floor rooms have balcony pools. The rooms also have a private outdoor shower, and an in-room jacuzzi.

    This all-inclusive resort is small and intimate compared to some of the large, all-inclusive resorts on the Mayan Riviera. The exclusivity creates a quiet, relaxing environment so you can enjoy your time together without distractions. It’s one of the best choices for a honeymoon in Mexico. 

    You can spend your time in either of the two main pools, or lounge around on the really comfortable sun beds near the beach. The resort has beautiful grounds that include fun amenities like beach swings, hammocks and multiple swim-up bars. You can even have dinner on the beach.

    Here’s another swoon-worthy romantic getaway in Tulum. While Tulum may have become a trendy celebrity hot spot in recent years, there are many things to do here even if you aren’t a celebrity.

    We discovered the El Pez Hotel and Restaurant right on the beach road and they were offering a romantic Sunday Brunch.

    So we decided to splurge and have a first rate meal in a truly heavenly location. The private cabanas on the beach are gloriously romantic with their thatched roofs, and white sheer drapes moving gently in the breeze.

    The rooms themselves are soft and plush with fans, lovely white crisp linens and beautiful amenities. The peace and quiet of the whole area is simply perfect.

    The ambience at the hotel is serene, peaceful and incredibly romantic and discrete. Soft blue skies, turquoise water and explosions of colour provided by the bougainvillea alongside the rustic but lavish hotel grounds and rooms.

    This would be the absolutely perfect place for a memorable honeymoon in Tulum or special occasion.

    9. Hacienda de Cortes, Cuernavaca: A Historic Hotel for Couples

    It doesn’t get more romantic than Hacienda de Cortes in Cuernavaca, Mexico.  In fact, my daughter held her wedding there because it is a popular town for weddings among Mexicans (her husband is from Mexico City).  

    This small, atmospheric hotel has lovely rooms featuring high ceilings, stone floors, and antique furnishings.  Suites are super-special, with glass doors opening to a central courtyard and a large marble bathroom with whirlpool tub/shower combo.

    The property was originally built 400-plus-years ago by conquistador Hernan Cortes for his lover on the ruins of what was originally a sugar mill. It’s one of the oldest post-conquest buildings in Mexico. 

    Though new, the swimming pool resembles a ruins itself, and gardens are extensive and inviting for long romantic strolls.  

    One of the best things for couples to do is dine in the stunning La Casona/The Old House restaurant, which is inside a hopelessly romantic ruin with a spectacular soaring skylight ceiling and crumbling walls that are overgrown with roots and vines. 

     I can still taste the Mexican hot chocolate and see the bright orange flesh of the fresh papaya at breakfast.

    10. Hotel Escondido, Puerto Escondido

    Honeymoon couples seeking seclusion, adventure and artistic flair will love adults-only Hotel Escondido, an eco-chic retreat created by style-maker Grupo Habita, known for its hip hotels in Mexico City.

    Luxurious comforts such as private plunge pools, in-room spa treatments, gourmet Oaxacan cuisine and handcrafted décor create an atmosphere of pure romance. 

    There’s no separation between beach club and the desert landscape so whether you recline on a lounger or float in the saltwater ribbon pool, you’ll enjoy 360 views of sky, sea and sand.

    Situated on a pristine stretch of beach an hour northwest of Puerto Escondido, the resort’s palapa-topped bungalows are surrounded by dramatic tropical desert vegetation including rock gardens, towering organ pipe cactus and spiky agave.

    One of the top hotels in Puerto Escondido, each bungalow hideaway is situated to enjoy ocean views and catch evening breezes from the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains.

    You’ll be rubbing shoulders with the glitterati here. This hideaway attracts a mix of telenovela stars, fashion models and artists such as abstract painter Bosco Sodi, whose nearby studio retreat Casa Wabi was designed by Japanese celebrity architect Tadao Ando.

    You’ll also be close to Roca Blanca Beach, one of the best day trips from Puerto Escondido.  Also nearby is El Origen, a top Puerto Escondido beach club and the Atotonilco hot springs.

    Spend a few nights perched on the edge of the Copper Canyon at Hotel Mirador Posada Barranca. Spring for a room with a balcony overhanging the canyon and you won’t be disappointed. 

    You could enjoy an entire day just sitting on your balcony taking in the stunning views. And your evenings snuggled up in front of your own private fireplace.

    In addition to the tranquility and the stunning landscapes, if you’re looking for a bit of adventure near the hotel you can experience zip lining. It’s one of the longest and fasted zip-lines in the world!

    Or, relax on a leisurely cable car ride.

    If you’re up for more activities you can go hiking, mountain biking or ATVing. Helicopter tours are also an option if you can’t get enough of those canyon views.

    Getting to the hotel is probably the best part. To get there you’ll want to take a ride on one of the most scenic train routes in the world, El Chepe.

    It’s the perfect location for an evening walk hand-in-hand along the beach, listen to mariachi music in the Zona Romantica or stroll the famous El Malecón boardwalk.
