Dinners and flowers are great, but why not create unforgettable moments together as a couple? We’ve got some ideas for romantic adventures around Yucatán. All of them are perfect for either planning together or surprising your special someone anytime throughout the year!
A destination escape
Destino Mío Mayan Jungle Retreat
Located on the outskirts of Tekit (the so-called "world capital of the guayabera"), Destino Mío Mayan Jungle Retreat is another excellent option for a couple's getaway. Destino Mío offers an ideal setting to disconnect from the outside world and connect with your partner, in a peaceful, secluded environment that brings you closer to nature. Each of its suites (up to 80 m² or 861 ft²!) is built with materials characteristic of the region, such as chukum, creating a unique atmosphere that sets it apart from conventional hotels.
Whether you pamper yourselves with a couple’s massage, a package at their Utópika spa, a themed dinner, or simply enjoy each other’s company in a dreamlike setting, Destino Mío Mayan Jungle Retreat could be the ideal option to create a special occasion with your partner.

Espita
You’ll see that several of Yucatán’s Magical Towns are on this list, each with its own good reason.
Of the seven Magical Towns in Yucatán, Espita, considered the capital of relaxation tourism, offers several options for a romantic getaway away from the hustle and bustle, but right in the heart of a historic town. Check out our complete guide to the Magical Town of Espita to see what awaits you in its various (but all outstanding) accommodation options, and spend a couple of days of total relaxation together.
Picnic en medio del mar, Sisal
Do you dream of sharing a romantic picnic with your partner? Now imagine it on a pristine beach, where it feels like it’s just the two of you, the sea, and maybe a glass of wine. Stop imagining and let Picnic en Medio del Mar make the dream come true.
Surprise your partner and turn a stay in Sisal into an unforgettable experience with this tour, which also includes a visit to a crystal-clear cenote and a tour through the Sisal mangroves. The level of luxury and privacy can be tailored to your preferences and budget, with options ranging from $3,000 to $12,500 pesos per couple.
Casa K’u
If you and your partner are fans of the beach in an exclusive and cozy setting, Casa K’u, located between Chicxulub and Telchac Puerto, is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. Each of its comfortable cabins/rooms is designed to feel like a bird's nest, offering the luxury and privacy that comes with it. Of course, if you just want to spend a romantic day away from the noise, Casa K’u also offers day passes starting at $800 pesos per person (which includes food credit).
Speaking of food and drinks, their restaurant Nido offers outstanding options that will allow you to enjoy your stay without leaving the premises. To enhance the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, Casa K’u does not admit guests under the age of 15.

Santo Domingo de Yunkú
Hacienda Santo Domingo de Yunkú offers day passes for $200 pesos per person, but it also lets you experience waking up to the sounds of nature by staying in one of its rooms or cabins.
The level of relaxation you can experience on this romantic getaway is truly unmatched. I still can't decide which is more relaxing. The first option is their large pool located in the middle of the gardens, with lounge chairs in the water, conveniently close to their La Nacha Bar, where you can order a drink or cocktail to enjoy while you cool off. The second option is visiting their private cenote, where I can guarantee you'll encounter the beautiful Toh birds (turquoise-browed motmots, or Eumomota superciliosa) that inhabit the area.
In case I haven’t convinced you yet, Hacienda Santo Domingo de Yunkú has a restaurant offering breakfast and lunch with traditional regional dishes, all cooked over charcoal and made with local ingredients. It’s the perfect place to pamper yourselves as a couple while creating unforgettable moments.

Cenote Santa Rosa
If you're looking for a romantic getaway with a touch of adventure, this option might be perfect for you.
Cenote Santa Rosa is a complex with two cenotes: one underground cave-type cenote and another open-air cenote. The day pass entry costs $200 pesos for adults and $150 pesos for children. However, it’s included in this list because of its beautiful and cozy cabins, perfect for a couple's escape.
It offers several cabin options for two or up to four people. For a romantic getaway, your best option might be the boutique cabins, which feature a private outdoor jacuzzi. That way, after a day of adventure swimming in the cenotes, you can relax under the stars or, if you prefer, take a nighttime stroll through Homún.
Don't forget to take advantage of the iconic photo spots scattered throughout the complex—they'll give you some super Instagrammable shots.
The accommodation includes access to the cenotes but doesn’t include food or drinks. Cenote Santa Rosa has an à la carte restaurant serving breakfast and lunch with traditional Yucatecan cuisine.
