Of course, we’re thinking about date nights around Valentine’s Day, but we ended up crafting the perfect date no matter what day of the year. If it’s on February 14 on the sunkissed sands of Riviera Cancun, all the better. Here’s our new favorite go-to itinerary for sharing the love.
Sunset Cocktails, Obviously
AVA’s panoramic ocean views, transformative sunsets and vast expanses of blue, along with our expert mixologists, would never forgive you. If the relationship is new, it’s an instant icebreaker. If you’ve been married for 20, it can feel like renewing your vows. We love any of AVA’s outdoor terraces or landscaped paths for strolling and gazing up at the sky, champagne and/or cocktail in one hand, your person’s hand in the other.
Pre-Dinner Pause at ALLArt
The sun has set beautifully, AVA is glowing from the outside in, and ALLArt—AVA’s official contemporary art gallery—is open—with the inaugural exhibition recently showing. Experience this exceptional artistry together—a visual aperitif that will have you floating to dinner.
Dinner at Copal
…is always a good idea. Inspired by a traditional Hacienda in the Yucatan Peninsula, designed in organic raw materials with exposed beams and touches of limestone—naturally beautiful and instantly welcoming.
The Vibe: Convivial and celebratory, with live, traditional, and trending Mexican tracks.
On the Menu: Refined, modern Mexican cooking in a selection of regional house signatures, using sustainably sourced, nutrient-rich ingredients from our neighboring growers, farmers, and fishermen. Copal’s Taqueria also offers an outstanding selection of house-made tortillas and tacos, with five homemade salsas, mild to fiery.
Get Cozy at Aroma
Go for a whiskey or a cappuccino, find a quiet corner, settle into Aroma’s plush lounge chairs, and listen to the waves roll in and recede.
Happy Valentine’s Day - and cheers to love. Seems it still does make the world go ‘round.
