2. Tulum, Mexico
This trendy tourist destination is actually situated right along the Caribbean Sea.

Above all, warmer weather and cheap drinks ensure you’ll be able to spend all day with bae sippin’ drinks and getting a nice winter tan.

Each of the 18 private cabanas, all just steps from the beach, have views of the Caribbean Sea. There’s also one over-water villa with a private veranda and extended sunbathing deck.

Sunset dinners, champagne jacuzzi baths, and some great waters for evening dips? It doesn’t get much more romantic than this.
