Valentine’s Day may be around the corner, but you can make it Valentine’s Day anywhere with a romantic getaway. There’s nothing like staying in a luxury villa, enjoying good food, and soaking up the sun together.
Vacations are a form of self-love, so solo travelers can get in on the sun-filled fun too. Or if you’re like my bestie and I who just needed a relaxing girls’ trip, then keep reading.
My bestie and I recently vacationed in Cancun and stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun. The resort was nothing short of stunning and our room gave the calm vibes we needed, especially after a long day of traveling. Our view from the room looked like a painting. The palm trees and crystal blue water provided the perfect backdrop for a nice getaway.

There was a beach cabana available to us throughout our three day, four night stay as well as plenty of on-site activities and entertainment. Some of the activities offered were yoga, kayaking and biking. While I didn’t participate in the daily activities, I did enjoy the entertainment.
Our second night, the resort held a Mexican night, which included performances from a mariachi band and dancers. We enjoyed a three-course meal featuring chicken and lobster as the main course, and it was my favorite dish of the night.
We also partook in a variety of drinks and food from the on-site bars and restaurants like their French eatery Bordeaux and their hibachi spot at the Teppanyaki Table at Himitsu.

For those looking for a little romance, the resort is currently offering their Where Love Is package, which includes a mimosa breakfast, a 25 minute couples massage, early check-in, late check-out, and a welcome gift.
One of the highlights from our stay was the spa. The spa had a lot of different services from massages to body scrubs and even a hair salon. It had a sauna, steam room, a pool, jacuzzi and even a cold plunge. What stood out to me the most was the aromatherapy used in each room and the calming sound of the water features throughout the space.

This trip was the perfect way to start 2025 and recenter myself before jumping into new goals for the year.
