Sun-drenched sands, crystal-clear water, and vibrant nightlife and restaurants make Cancun a favourite destination for Canadians. But this popular Yucatán Peninsula spot also makes it easy for couples looking to rejuvenate themselves and their relationship, with adults-only resorts like Hyatt Zilara Cancun that are focused on twosomes.

“An easy-to-access and affordable destination, Cancun is the perfect place for a couples getaway,” says Paola Gomez, the resort’s associate director of sales. “lt’s the ideal place for couples to enjoy, relax, explore and reconnect.”

Here’s how to recharge as a duo at this luxurious adults-only resort in Cancun.

Pamper yourselves at a brand-new spa

You don’t need to go farther than the new Zen Spa to discover inner peace. The 22,800-square-foot space has 11 treatment rooms as well as an oceanfront gazebo for outdoor services. Indulge in a couples massage or relax into the detoxifying hydrotherapy circuit, which includes polar pool, whirlpool, herbal steam room and ice fountain.

Try a Mayan-inspired massage or antioxidant treatment

The spa also offers a range of massage and antioxidant treatments, from a full-body chocolate treatment to blueberry or citrus and kale facials. The Mayan massage, based on a combination of techniques, boosts energy using aromatherapy oils made with natural ingredients.

The Tzolkin ritual is another of Zen Spa’s signature treatments. The 130-minute holistic Mayan-inspired experience includes an antioxidant body treatment intended to eliminate toxins and stimulate circulation. “It’s followed up with a relaxing massage, which combines acupressure points and obsidian stones to release energy and restore your internal balance,” Gomez explains.

Heighten your senses in a scent workshop at the spa

For a unique experience, sign up for Zen Spa’s alchemy workshop. A perfect activity for couples, the workshop is designed to spark your senses as you mix natural scents and ingredients under the guidance of an expert alchemist to create your own mask, fragrance or body lotion.

Splash around on Cancun’s widest beach

On the Hyatt Zilara Cancun beach, couples can do as much—or as little—as they like. Swim in an Olympic-sized infinity pool with a swim-up bar or unwind in a canopy-covered cabana, where a beach butler is on hand to offer books, sunscreen and cold towels. There’s also plenty of opportunity for water sports, given the resort’s location along Cancun’s widest stretch of beach.

Sweat it out in fitness classes

Holidays don’t have to mean forgoing your fitness routine. At the state-of-the-art Sky Gym, you’ll have access to cardio dance classes, Pilates sessions and a heated pool. Afterwards, enjoy a freshly squeezed tropical refreshment from the gym’s juice bar.

Rekindle romance over a magical in-room dinner

When it comes to your relationship, Hyatt Zilara Cancun has your back. Their concierge can help you plan the perfect romantic event, whether it’s a couples massage on the beach or an intimate moonlit dinner.

The resort also offers 24-hour dining using their in-suite “magic box” cabinet. “It’s one of our unique features, specially designed to provide a discreet in-room delivery and avoid opening your door and disturbing your special moment,” Gomez says.

Sample great food and intriguing tequilas

With six specialty restaurants, the resort offers couples a choice of dining options, including authentic cantina-style dishes such as carnitas tacos and lobster chimichangas. Or indulge in a memorable dinner at the intimate Chef’s Plate restaurant, where a haute cuisine menu is perfectly paired with wine.

Educate your taste buds at the Tequileria and Beach Lounge on a selection of authentic tequilas, from reposados to special reserves, or simply enjoy a margarita by the beach.
