We share with you some destinations that will make this date an unforgettable day.
HOL-BOX
The island of Hol-box is synonymous with romance. This small island is ideal to get away from it all and just think about how lucky you are to have someone who loves you. On this island, you can rent a cabin and then get some bicycles and explore the island.
The real magic of Hol-box begins at sunset, the sunset is breathtaking, ideal for a picnic on the beach. At night, you can enjoy the spectacle of bioluminescence that occurs on the south beach of the island.
A tip we can give you is to bring your mosquito repellent because if you are at the beach at night you will need it.
Isla de la Pasión
Romantic legends, white sand, and turquoise waters make this a favorite spot for lovers looking to unite their lives. Located in the center of the Cozumel Natural Protected Area (very close to this popular island), Isla de la Pasión was considered by the Mayans as a sacred place blessed by fertility.
In ancient times, Ixchel (goddess of love) was venerated. Therefore, indigenous couples, as part of the marriage ritual, made a pilgrimage to Mukyaj Peten (the Mayan name of the island) to receive the gifts of the deity.
According to the beliefs of this culture, when a wedding takes place on this island, the union lasts for eternity, “thanks to the love that Ixchel professed to the Sun God”.
