4 Romance Ideas in the Riviera Maya

#1 Sunset Dinner Cruise

To start with, a great way to enjoy a romantic evening with your sweetheart is to book a tour on a sunset dinner cruise. There’s no better way to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea than as you cruise around on a luxury catamaran. There are many Riviera Maya sunset dinner & sailing charters available. Depending on how much you want to spend, you can book a private tour or opt for a group tour. In general, you will be welcomed aboard with a cocktail as you take in the amazing sea views. Also, most tours offer premium open bar service that is included in the cost. Typically the cruise will set sail in the late afternoon and anchor for a few hours so guests can take a swim or just enjoy live music. A wonderful gourmet meal is also served so you and your sweetheart can have a special meal together.

#2 Go Snorkeling Together

Another fun way to spend time with your sweetheart is to be active together. In the Riviera Maya, Cancun’s Puerto Morelos reef is the second largest reef in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. The coral reefs in the National Reef Park of Puerto Morelos are situated closer to the shore than in other areas of the Riviera Maya. This section of the reef was designated as a protected area. There are many great snorkeling and scuba diving tours available from several dive shops in Puerto Morelos. Note that it is illegal to swim out to the reef from the shore alone to avoid reef damage. Book a tour as all snorkelers and divers must be overseen by a professional guide. Enjoying the beautiful marine life and vibrant corals is sure to be a wonderful memory for you and your loved one.

#3 Swim in Magical Cenotes

Next, a romantic experience is to swim in one of the Riviera Maya’s magical cenotes. Cenotes are water holes that result when limestone erodes to reveal underground river systems that supply cool fresh waterholes. Cenotes are the perfect spot to take a refreshing dip with your partner. Wondering where to go? Check out Cenote Dos Ojos which is located near Cancun between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. This cenote is shallow on one side and deeper on the other side. That way, both swimmers and snorkelers will have space to spread out. The lush greenery that surrounds the cenotes is simply breathtaking making swimming in cenotes one of the top romantic Cancun activities.

#4 Enjoy a Couple’s Massage on the Beach

Last but not least, another romantic Riviera Maya activity is a couples massage on the beach. Instead of booking a massage at a spa, just head to the beach. Friendly and professional trained masseuses regularly walk the beach offering their services. Many even have a professional massage table that they can set up for you. Sit back and relax and enjoy the moment with your sweetheart under the shade of a sun umbrella. It’ll be easy to relax as you take in the stunning Caribbean sea views.
