Cancun Honeymoons

Cancun sits at the very top of the Riviera Maya, the busiest of Mexican beach destinations. Couples who choose to enjoy a Cancun honeymoon need not to worry about having fun. Famous for its gorgeous turquoise water and powdery white sand beaches, the variety of water sports to choose from is overwhelming. The tourism hot spot ‘zona hotelera’ is a twenty two kilometer long sandy strip teeming with all-inclusive resorts and international fare ranging from sushi to Tex-Mex. Authentic Mexican cuisine can be more easily found in El Centro, five kilometers away on the mainland. The nightlife scene is buzzing with clubs and bars that feature live music and acrobatic dance performances. For couples that like to venture out and explore the land, theme parks, archeological sites and lazy beach side towns await. The entire coast is strewn with cenotes — fresh water flooded caves connected by a massive underground network.

Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, a Cancun honeymoon will suit your style. 

When to Go

The sunny and fresh high season starts mid-December and ends around April. American spring breakers run rampant in March, so this might not be the best time of year for a Cancun honeymoon (or a Mexico honeymoon in general!). Summers are hot and humid and the rainy season runs from May to October. The potential for hurricanes is in autumn.
