As Valentine’s Day approaches, some couples are dreaming about the perfect romantic getaway. But heartfelt vacations don’t have to be limited to a stay on Feb. 14 in Mexico, where a variety of well-appointed resort hotels in beautiful settings set the stage for romance throughout the year.

These hotels around Mexico offer some of the region’s most memorable options for nurturing (or rekindling) a romantic spark, regardless of the time of year.

Romantic Escapes in Baja California

The state of Baja California offers many opportunities for romance-infused vacations.

Hilton Los Cabos, for example, offers a Plunge Into Love package that includes a three-night stay in one of the property’s new Plunge Pool Suites, plus a couple’s massage, a floating breakfast in a private pool and a private dinner served in a cabana. At the new Corazon Cabo Resort & Spa, meanwhile, couples can opt for the Season of Self Care package, which includes three nights in an Infinity Suite with in-room amenity, daily buffet breakfast and a $100 resort credit.

For an even more indulgent getaway, consider Esperanza, Auberge Resorts Collection, where couples can schedule dinner on a private yacht and spend an entire night at Playa Paraiso, a beach where a two-story, open-air beach palapa can be converted to a fanciful guestroom for an evening under the stars.

Farther north, Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto by Danzante Bay offers scenic outings ideal for couples looking for uncrowded time together, including stand-up paddleboarding excursions that can be complemented by a Paradise Relaxation treatment at the 39,000-square-foot Sabila Spa. The 125-minute program includes a full-body tropical exfoliation, a relaxation massage and a mini-facial, followed by time in a private Jacuzzi for two — complete with a bottle of sparkling wine and chocolate-covered strawberries.

Following in the Footsteps of Celebrity Couples

Mexico’s Pacific coast has a long history as a magnet for the rich and famous. That makes it especially easy to arrange a vacation in settings frequented by other famous couples. In Acapulco, for example, the legendary Las Brisas Acapulco has hosted presidential couples including John F. and Jackie Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and countless movie stars and celebrities. The hotel’s pink-and-white casitas — some of which come with their own private pool and spectacular views of the bay — are perfect for enjoying a blissful break from the outside world.

Puerto Vallarta pays tribute to its celebrity romance heritage at Casa Kimberly, the Puerto Vallarta boutique hotel set in the former private residences of actors Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. While the hotel is an attractive option year-round, its Legendary Romance Package — only available in February, and a great option for Valentine's Day — is especially enticing; it includes welcome margaritas, a premium tequila tasting and a four-course dinner on a private terrace at open-air restaurant The Iguana.

The Vallarta/Nayarit area is home to several other noteworthy options, according to boutique tour operator Travel If You. The company’s top recommendations include Agua de Luna, a 15-suite boutique hotel in San Pancho, Nayarit, which can be complemented by a day pass to the adults-only, upscale Tierra Tropical Beach Club. Also recommended is a five-night romance package at Xinalani, a wellness resort and yoga retreat offering daily yoga, massages and other relaxing activities.

Conrad Punta de Mita has several offerings for couples, including a temazcal ceremony for two; private dinners; and exclusive terraces and cabanas.

Nearby, Conrad Punta de Mita provides a rare chance for couples to enjoy a private traditional temazcal ceremony for two. The hotel also offers private dinners, which can be served in the mangroves at Codex restaurant, on a guest’s own private terrace or in a cabana with sunset views.

Romance Travel Options in the Mexican Caribbean

The picturesque beaches of Mexico’s Caribbean coast provide an ideal backdrop for a romantic vacation. At Grand Residences Riviera Cancun, A Registry Collection Hotel, for example, couples can arrange a private dining experience with a chef-led, custom-curated menu, served inside one of the property’s expansive suites with a postcard-worthy Caribbean view.

Romantic private dinners are also a draw at Beloved Playa Mujeres, a property designed specifically for couples. In addition to dinners on the beach, the hotel also offers spa treatments such as the 120-minute Love Celebration for Two, which features a lomi lomi massage, exfoliation and salt bath for two, accompanied by sparkling wine.

In Tulum, the appropriately named Mi Amor offers seafront rooms with private plunge pools, as well as private dinners in cabanas on the water, complete with wine pairing. And at Etereo, Auberge Resorts Collection, couples can arrange memorable activities that include stargazing and wine-tasting, as well as a Moonlight Massage that can take place either at sunset or as an evening “candlelight immersion” experience.
