Here are some suggestions for what to see, eat, and do in Riviera Maya's most romantic location and popular honeymoon destination.
1. Tulum Ruins.
The Tulum Ruins are situated atop a rugged cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea's baby blue seas. Aside from the stunning vistas, the ruins provide an excellent combination of leisure and history. The remains originate from the 13th century and were formerly a pre-Columbian Mayan metropolis.
Visit the ruins early in the morning for the most peace. After visiting the grounds, swim in the blue waters of Playa Ruinas. The admission price is 65 MXN per person.
2. Relax at a spa.
Romance and relaxation go hand in hand, and Tulum does a good job of providing both. Many of the elegant boutique hotels on the seaside provide great spa services, but Yäan Wellness goes above and beyond. It bills itself as an energy-healing spa with a fantastic couples treatment called 'Couple's Divine.'
3. El Paraiso Tulum Beach Club.
Tulum has some of the world's most stunning beaches. El Paraiso Tulum Beach Club is about a kilometer away from the Tulum Mayan ruins. Arrive at 10 a.m. to spend the day on a lounge chair, sunbed, or hammock. At sunset, order beverages and food from the bar/restaurant and enjoy happy hour. This is a fantastic day at the beach!
4. Ride around Tulum.
Bicycling around Tulum is possibly the most beautiful way to see the sights. Rent a bicycle from one of the several vendors along Tulum's beachside road. The daily rate should be approximately $5. Come early in the morning for a more tranquil ride along the beach. Before hiring a bicycle, check with your hotel to see if they have any.
5. Swim in magical cenotes.
Cenotes are beautiful natural phenomena that consist of freshwater sinkholes surrounded by lush green flora and filled with sparkling water. If you don't want to go too far, go to Gran Cenote, a popular destination with water so pure that you won't need a snorkel to observe the animals. The entrance charge is $25, and it is recommended that you arrive early to avoid congestion.
For something a little different, visit the Cenote Caracol, which is connected to a magnificent cave complex. This attraction is only accessible if you rent a vehicle and drive yourself or arrange a guided trip. Visit the Xel-Há cenotes in the midst of the bush for some peace.
6. Sian Ka’an Biosphere.
The Sian Ka'an Biosphere is a vast protected region that is home to hundreds of beautiful kinds of flora and wildlife. In addition, it has some of Mexico's most pure waterways. The biosphere may take days to explore, and nature enthusiasts frequently set aside that amount of time.
If you just have one day, you may rent a car and explore the park's nooks and corners on your own. Expect to see spectacular wildlife such as jaguars, ocelots, pumas, monkeys, turtles, and more as one of Quintana Roo's top eco-tourism sites.
7. Ziggy Beach.
Ziggy Beach is located at the calmer end of the beach club strip, yet it still has an outstanding beach club with a high level of chicness and activity.
The beach is lined with comfortable sun loungers and cabanas, as well as swings and hammocks strung between swaying palm trees. Within minutes, you and your companion will be soothed by the sea wind and the sounds of the waves. The meal is both delicious and fairly priced.
8. Soliman Bay.
Soliman Bay is a little-known retreat. It's about midway between Tulum and Akumal, slightly south of Akumal. The bay is located in a secluded residential enclave with only a few private villas and boutique hotels, making it the ideal spot to come if you want to be alone.
It is accessible to the public, as are other beaches in Tulum, and is a fantastic spot to spend the day lounging on the sand and enjoying each other's company. The snorkeling is excellent around here, and those wanting a little adventure may hire kayaks to explore the area.
9. Dine by candlelight.
A romantic supper for two, whether on the beach or in the forest, is a definite environment for love. Tulum's local restaurants can provide any setting, as well as flavorful food and excellent beverages.
Hartwood, Tulum's most desired and difficult-to-book reservation, is known for its outstanding farm-to-table cuisine and rustic, beautiful surroundings. Arca is a tropical sanctuary with swarms of plants and huge hanging lights that serves traditional Mexican food with a Californian flair. Last but not least is El Tábano, a small, modest restaurant that serves typical Mexican fare.
10. Visit Isla Mujeres.
Isla Mujeres, one of the most popular day trip locations in Cancun, is only a 15-minute boat ride away. The island's attractiveness stems primarily from its beautiful beaches and laid-back island vibe. You may take a trip with one of the numerous firms that include lunch and beverages.
Those who want to do it alone can take a water taxi or ferry to this tropical island paradise. The downtown area has a beautiful collection of shops and eateries. Rent a golf cart and circle the island, stopping at Punta Sur, Mexico's easternmost point, before heading to a beach club on North Beach for lunch, cocktails, sunbathing, and swimming.
