10 tips for a Romantic Valentine’s Day in the Riviera Maya

Couples have been trying to create romance in their relationships since the beginning of time, yet every Valentine’s Day many frantically search for a way to make the day memorable for their special someone. There are many ways to celebrate this special day, but for the truly romantic, spend this February 14th doing something unique and special with the one you love.

Here are 10 great ways to spend Valentine’s Day in the Riviera Maya:

1. Relax and Recharge: Leave behind the stress of daily life and surprise your special someone with a soothing moonlight couples massage on the beach.
2. For Music Lovers: There are many restaurants and bars in Cancun and Playa del Carmen that feature live music. Cozy up with a cocktail (and your honey of course) and groove to their smooth sounds.
3. A Day in the Sun: Pack a picnic basket and your swimsuit for a romantic day on the white sand beaches of the Mexican Caribbean. Swim in the crystal clear, turquoise blue Caribbean Sea, and then watch the sun set and that lovely afternoon light wash over your loved one’s face.
4. For Night Owls: If you prefer moonlight over sunlight, plan a nighttime beach champagne picnic under the stars, and begin an endless night on the Riviera Maya’s magical beaches.
5. The Adventurous Couple: If you are one of those couples who connect during the adrenaline rush of a great adventure, Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer some great options for you this Valentine’s Day. Fly over the jungle canopy on a zip line or discover nature’s wonders in underground caves and cenotes.
6. Cooking for the Heart: If the expression “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is true, then reach his (or her) heart by learning to create some special recipes in the Riviera Maya. If you prefer someone else doing the cooking, enjoy a delicious meal at one of our restaurants that range from Mexican to international cuisine.
7. The Language of Love: Since Spanish is such a romantic language, romance your partner and tell him or her how much you love them, in Spanish. “Te amo” = “I love you”.
8. Give a Little: While reconnecting with your special someone on a romantic getaway, consider including a tour from Kanché, a non-profit civil association that uses the proceeds from its tours to generate socially oriented projects that help the environment and the community.
9. Reconnect with Nature: With its lush green jungles and soft white sand beaches, the beautiful Yucatan Peninsula offers you many wonderful ways to reconnect not only with your partner, but also with nature. Visit a preserved nature park and enjoy a day of hiking through the jungle or snorkeling or scuba diving in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.
10. Do Not Disturb: Spend the entire day with the “do not disturb” sign on your door at one of our all inclusive, luxury resorts. Enjoy the company of your partner in private while relaxing in a soothing bath or bubbling hot tub.

Elton John at Chichen Itza | Yucatan Holidays Packages

We will soon have the most important event of the year at Chichen Itza (sounds like “chicken pizza”).  Sir Elton John, the English singer-songwriter, composer, and pianist, will perform on stage in front of the spectacular Kukulkan Pyramid, Saturday, April 3rd, 2010.  The show promises to be an amazing experience at one of the most visited and renowned attractions in Mexico.

Last year, Sarah Brightman performed at Chichen Itza for only a few thousand lucky attendees.  Since Chichen Itza is not a large venue, tickets are in demand for the Elton John concert.  Regardless of ticket prices ($1,000 – $10,000 MXN Pesos), many of Elton John’s fans already have their tickets in hand. 

Yucatan Holidays now offers you a chance to attend this fabulous concert.  We’ve created three special vacation packages, so you too can enjoy the magic of Chichen Itza and the inspiration of Elton John’s songs. Follow the link below to book any of the packages designed for every budget (starting at only $135 USD per person)!  Travel to this Mayan paradise, and experience an unforgettable vacation, while enjoying the notes of one of the most important musicians of our time.
