On the southeastern coast of Mexico lies the city of Cancún, a tropical paradise. Located between Nichúpte Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea, it is famous for its jewel-toned turquoise waters. Imagine days spent sunbathing on powder-white sands, dipping into sparkling azure waters, jet-skiing, and luxuriating on catamaran cruises. Could it be more picturesque? The region is also renowned for cenotes—natural underground reservoirs of water. Swimming or snorkelling in these sapphire pools, to discover the riot of marine life, is nothing short of magical.
The city is also one of the gateways to ancient Mayan history. Be sure to visit the Coba ruins, still standing after 1200 years, and nearby sites such as Chichen Itza and the Tulum ruins. Cancún has an irresistible pull, and it is a great destination for two lovebirds to build everlasting memories. Scroll down to see the top honeymoon resorts in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
