Today's Destination Pick is Mexico!
Whatever your definition of perfect romance – a grilled lobster dinner served under a canopy of stars, a hotel room glowing with candles, the intoxicating aroma of a Mayan-inspired chocolate massage – you’ll find it here.
WHY GO: With dazzling resorts, silken beaches and charming colonial towns, you’ll never run out of dreamy places to whisper te amo (I love you).
WHAT TO DO: Gaze into a beautiful turquoise sea as the morning sun warms your skin, then choose your afternoon adventure: Zoom over sand dunes on ATVs in Los Cabos, learn to surf in San Pedro or scale Mayan ruins for spectacular views of the Yucatan. After a day of exploring, fuel up on local delicacies – from fish tacos at storefront cafes in surfer haven Sayulita to filet of beef with chipotle sauce and Camembert cheese at Café des Artists in Puerto Vallarta.
