If you’re planning on whisking your loved one away on a romantic getaway, there’s no destination better than Tulum. It’s an authentic paradise.
The “Magical Town” of Tulum is found in the state of Quintana Roo. Besides its beach, this beautiful destination is also notable for its famous archaeological area and deep history. This is one of the country’s best places to eat out, offering excellent customer service.
This colourful town also boasts several natural tourist attractions such as lakes, cenotes and protected natural areas, perfect for hikes and day trips.
There are also areas where you can try your hand at snorkelling, cycling, swimming and extreme water sports.
Getting to Tulum is really easy – you don’t even need to rent a car! You can get there simply by catching an ADO bus or combi microbus from Playa del Carmen or Cancún, which will cost you no more than $100 Mexican pesos.
Once you arrive in the city, you can easily get around by bike. These can be rented from as little as $50 Mexican pesos per day.
Below is a list of some of the best romantic plans when visiting Tulum with your partner.
Morning at the beach
The perfect couple’s holiday includes sun, sea and sand…all of which can be found in Tulum.
Enjoy a refreshing drink as you lay back in the sun and feel the sea breeze ru through your hair in any of the several beach resorts dotted along the coastline. Many hotels have their own private beach—if you stay here, all you’ll need to do is wake up and step through the sliding doors for direct access to the beach.
Natural pools
To feel refreshed and at one with nature, take a dip in one of Tulum’s magical natural pools. By this, we are referring to its cenotes. Whether open, closed-off or with underground caves, cenotes are the perfect spot for a photo of a romantic kiss, surrounded by plants, birds, spider monkeys and fish.
We recommend visiting the “Heart of Paradise” cenote.
Delicious evenings
Tulum is a warm and welcoming town. Allow yourself to get lost amongst its colourful and musical streets. You should also take the opportunity to sample the town’s local delicacies, served in Mexican and international restaurants. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you could dine on delicious local street food, prepared right in front of your eyes. If you use your time wisely, you’ll see why Tulum has a reputation as being one of the most romantic cities in south-east Mexico, with an evocative and melancholic atmosphere.
Wonderful panoramic views
Tulum is home to several spots promising unforgettable experiences. One such example is the small and intimate Tulum Tower restaurant, serving spectacular cuisine at 30 metres above the ground.
With only 16 seats, each diner at the restaurant has a fantastic view of the jungle and ruins lying below. This is a brilliant venue for celebrating your love, in which you can enjoy a memorable evening with your partner.
Romantic sunsets
Tulum is famous for its magical and memorable sunsets. Imagine walking hand-in-hand with your partner along the beach on a lovely evening, beneath a sky bursting with blues, purples and reds.
The archaeological area is one of the best spots for watching the sun go down. This is a well-kept secret which we recommend experiencing—particularly if you rent a small boat and enjoy it from the water.
Camping under the stars
Tulum also offers several options for camping or ‘glamping’, which is a luxury camping option.
These locations guarantee magical star-filled skies, a cool breeze and peace and quiet. There’s nothing quite like sleeping under the stars.
