Love Is in the Air in Playa del Carmen – 10 Most Romantic Things to Do (#3)

On Monday and yesterday Bea and I started sharing what we believe are the 10 most romantic things to do in the Playa del Carmen area.  Today, I will share 3 more items – #4, 3 & 2 on our list, preparing you for the “grand finale” tomorrow on Valentine’s Day – in our opinion, the most romantic thing to do in Playa del Carmen!

 

4. Candle-Light Dinner on a Private Boat

 

The canals of Mayakoba, a resort complex just north of town, capture the spirit of the ancient Mayan mysteries which permeate the area’s jungle; a private dinner on a boat to yourselves, candle light, the sound of the water, and the beauty of the surrounding nature make this one of the most romantic settings to be found – anywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Dinner in Alux Cavern Restaurant
Reaching only a little deeper into the heart of the mysterious Mayan nature, you and your Valentine can enjoy a delicious Mayan dinner deep in a beautifully lit cavern at the entrance to one of the area’s “cenotes” – underground pools, waterways and caverns.

 

Alux Restaurant, located just out of downtown, is a dining experience you will not find anywhere else – and, most importantly, offers a very romantic atmosphere.

 

2. Temazcal Steam Room & Ritual

Steam fills the air with the fragrance of mystical herbs; you hear chanting around you.  Along with the heat of the steam, the essence of the ancient mystery of life penetrates into the deepest part of your being and awakens your senses to beauty as never before.

 

The temazcal is Mexico’s ancient steam room, similar to the traditional saunas where water is sprinkled on hot rocks to fill the room with steam.

 

The difference is that the ancient Aztec and Mayan rituals are intricately intertwined into the steam process, including herbs in the water, chanting and blessings, making the relaxing experience as spiritual as it is physical – the essence of true romance.

 

Tomorrow, Bea will tell you about our #1 romantic activity in Playa del Carmen; the nice thing about it is that it can be combined with any of the other 9 we mentioned, and it captures romance in a very special and unique way that everyone – young or old, new lovers, or a well-seasoned couple – can experience alike to find that new spark of passion …
