Why Akumal?

Akumal has always been known as one of the top beach destinations in Mexico for vacationers. Akumal is located 62 miles south of Cancun, in between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Famous for its beautiful beach, beachfront hotel, swimmable lagoon, and home to some of the most romantic resorts located in the Riviera Maya.

What’s so great about Akumal?

I think Akumal is an incredible place to visit for a laid-back, no-compromise style that is perfect for a romantic getaway. It’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of Cancun and downtown Playa del Carmen. The area is also known for its wide range of ecosystems and biodiversity. It is nick-named ‘Turtle Town’ because it is here in Akumal that you can snorkel with sea turtles. It has it all: crystal clear turquoise water, secluded beaches, fun, sports like biking with a new bike from the monster cycle, and amazing food.

Explore Mayan Ruins

About an hour from Akumal is the ancient town of Coba. You can explore the area’s rich history by visiting the Coba ruins. This ancient Mayan city had enormous power before the age of Chichén Itzá. Here you will learn about the Mayan culture, and climb the tallest pyramid in the Riviera Maya.

Mayan Ruins At Tulum

You can also visit the ruins at Tulum. I highly recommend planning a private sunrise tour of Tulum. Seeing the ruins at sunrise will take your breath away, and you will be transported back in time to walk in the footsteps of the Mayan people.

Travel is about more than just ‘visiting’ a destination; it’s about exploring, learning about history and culture, and creating memories that you will never forget.

There are plenty of accommodation options to choose from in Akumal, from boutique properties to high-end luxury all-inclusive resorts. There is a place to suit every travel style and every occasion. I have my favorites, which one will be yours?

Decide on a destination

This is the time to explore someplace new together. An adventure honeymoon is a great way to explore a destination and break out of your comfort zone. Appreciate the thrills of new experiences, and enjoy lots of outdoor and physical activities. Decide on the level of adventure that you are both comfortable with, before planning your adventure honeymoon, and choosing your destination.

What is your adventure style? Are you a hard adventurer that loves taking risks and have advanced skills with the commitment to take on the hardest challenges? A beginner and prefer a lower level of risk to get your feet wet exploring a new place together? Are you searching for an advanced experience on foot, for example, hiking Macchu Picchu? Is your adventure style more water-based activities, such as kayaking, rafting, or scuba diving?

Try something new

On your honeymoon, you may want to try something new like taking Atlas Mountain tours or a skydive experience. Not only will it give you a chance to break out of your shell a little bit, but it might even turn into a new hobby that you both enjoy doing together. What do you like to do, anyway? Have a conversation about the activities like taking bioluminescent kayak tours you enjoy doing as a couple and the activities you each enjoy on your own. There is always common ground to be found for planning amazing adventures together.
