However, if you are in love, and you are looking to have the most romantic vacations of your life, you will need to find the right place, which is not an easy thing when the options are so diverse and everybody claims to have the best of everything in any business. That’s why here we have chosen the best Mexico destinations for couples:

Holbox Island

What can be more romantic than a little island in the Caribbean with no cars and just a few buildings in it? Exactly! Holbox is a very small island located in the Riviera Maya, which has slowly made a name for itself as a little paradise on Earth. It’s so small that you could walk it from its North End to its South End, and you won’t even get tired. It’s so small that only golf carts are allowed in the island. You read it right, if you want to drive in Holbox, you have to get a golf cart. With so little space, all you have to do is to enjoy the stunning white sand beaches, work on your sun tan, and love your significant other.

San Miguel de Allende

Mexico’s most famous colonial town has everything you look for in a romantic destination: cobblestone streets, luxury hotels set in centuries-old buildings, a buzzing art scene and outstanding gourmet restaurants. All with a spectacular mountain background and some of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in the whole country. Visiting San Miguel de Allende is visiting the past, it is the town that resembles best Mexican colonial past.

Punta Mita

Located only 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), Punta Mita is Mexico´s up and coming luxury destination. Set in a private peninsula, Punta Mita is an exclusive gated community with several high end residential developments and upscale resorts such as the Four Seasons and The St. Regis. Within the gates of Punta Mita you will find a couple of stunning golf courses, a tennis course complex, private beach clubs and the most exclusive beaches in the whole Puerto Vallarta-Riviera Nayarit area. If that’s not romantic enough for you, a 15-minute boat-trip to the “Playa del Amor” (Love Beach) located in the Marietas Islands will convince you.

Honorary mentions go to Huatulco and its 9 amazing bays, San José del Cabo with a beautiful contrast between the desert and the ocean, and Acapulco which has reinvented itself through the years, but has known how to keep its romantic aura. Now you know it, if planning a romantic trip, Mexico is the place, the country where you don’t say “I love you”, you sing it…
