Read on for local tips to plan your Romantic Getaways in Mazatlán!
🌅 Romantic Activities for Couples
1. Sunset Strolls Along the Malecón
The Malecón, one of the longest oceanfront promenades in the world, stretches over 13 miles. Couples can enjoy leisurely walks, hand in hand, while watching the sun dip below the horizon. Street performers, local vendors, and the rhythmic sound of waves create an unforgettable atmosphere.
2. Explore Centro Histórico
Mazatlán’s historic center boasts colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant plazas. Visit the iconic Plazuela Machado, where you can enjoy live music and dine al fresco at one of the many restaurants surrounding the square.
A great place to go for sunset here is the roof-top bar at the Hotel Freeman on Olas Altas. The views of the ocean and Olas Altas bay are incredible!
3. Couples Massage at a Local Spa
Indulge in a relaxing couples massage at one of Mazatlán’s renowned spas. Many establishments offer ocean-view treatment rooms, enhancing the soothing experience. Our favorite spots are:
Armonia Spa – Emerald Bay
You’ll want to call to get an updated price/services list, but it’s worth a little extra work! They have an amazing couples cabana with double massage tables, a jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and lounge chairs. This area is completely private for the time that you book it.
With two different locations in the city, Athina Spa is super convenient, and is a favorite among locals and expats alike. Enjoy a relaxing couples massage.
Located inside the Double Tree hotel by Hilton, Eforea Spa is a full-service spa with a great ambiance. Enjoy massages, facials, body treatments, and/or jacuzzi time to relax.
4. Day Trip to Isla de la Piedra
Just a short boat ride away, Isla de la Piedra (Stone Island) offers pristine beaches and a tranquil setting. Spend the day lounging on the beach, horseback riding, or enjoying fresh seafood at local palapas.
5. Wine and pastries on the beach
A simple yet incredible enjoyable way to spend some time together. Bring a pic-nic lunch to the beach. Your favorite bottle of wine or champagne, some delicious pastries from Euro Bakery, Casa Hindie or Polska, a beach blanket, and you are set! The beach tends to be quieter in the North end of the city, but Olas Altas is also a nice place to go. Just be sure to bring a bag for garbage, so that you leave your space nice and clean when you pack-up.
