City, Coast & Cuisine: A Mexico Honeymoon

Mexico City is one of the most compelling cities on earth for honeymooners who want culture alongside comfort. You arrive into one of the world’s largest capitals and check into a boutique hotel in Colonia Roma or Polanco, the two neighborhoods that best reward slow exploration on foot.

Days here move at whatever pace suits you: morning coffee and pan dulce at a local bakery, an afternoon at Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Coyoacan, and dinner at one of the city’s landmark restaurants. The ruins of Teotihuacan, less than an hour from the city center, make for a memorable day trip before you head south.

Los Cabos is where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez converge at the southern tip of Baja California, and it makes for an exceptional Mexico honeymoon finale. The landscape here is different to anywhere else in the country: desert mountains dropping to turquoise water, with rock formations rising out of the sea at Land’s End.

Your hotel faces the water directly. Days are spent as you choose: swimming, spa treatments, boat trips to the natural arch at El Arco, or nothing at all. The dining scene has grown significantly in recent years, with a handful of restaurants now drawing serious attention from beyond Mexico. It’s a place that earns its reputation every evening at sunset.
