Viceroy Riviera Maya MEXICO

MEXICO TICKS EVERY HONEYMOON BOX: SUN, SAND, SEA, CULTURE, SURF, amazing food and incredible cocktails. The vibe is all-out fun in the tropics, and if you head to the Caribbean-fronting Riviera Maya, you’ll find yourself ensconced in a bubble of romance.
Sorry, kids, but for any honeymoon an adults-only resort is always going to be an attractive proposition. And Viceroy Riviera Maya is just the ticket.

Secluded yet accessible, it’s only 40 minutes from Cancun Airport and seven miles north of buzzy Playa del Carmen, but it feels a world away. Intimate, private and with oodles of Mayan influences, Viceroy puts together the perfect recipe for a Mexican retreat. On arrival, guests are welcomed by a traditional blessing and presented with hand-carved local soap; traditional music plays throughout and the ancient Temazcal.

HONEYMOON HIDEOUT

The Signature Villa (all 1,400sq ft of it)(a stone ‘house of heat’) adds yet more authenticity. ‘The villas, cleverly scattered around the jungle, max out on privacy and come with plunge pools and hammocks, while inside they are vast, with vaulted ceilings and four-poster beds. The resort is surrounded by lush jungle that’s home to resident spider monkeys, iguanas and coatis, and nature cocoons Viceroy’s guests.

As does the deeply holistic Wayak Spa, where treatment rooms overlook a waterfall. Crank things up a notch with loads of beach fun on the seven-mile stretch of white sand, or go cultural with jungle tours and visits to the magnificent sites of Chichen Itza and Akumal. And as the sun sets, there’s food and cocktails aplenty and a 24-hour butler for non-stop indulgence!

Seven nights in a Luxury Villa (bed and breakfast) from £2,450 per person, including international flights and transfers.
