Why this trip
No sea, no surf, no beach sellers: Bacalar lies on a freshwater lagoon in south-eastern Mexico, and that is exactly what makes the place so appealing for newlyweds. The water shifts between turquoise and deep blue, and you drift in it without anyone expecting anything from you. Drive to the Laguna de los 7 colores, where the gradations of colour are most clearly visible, and have a boat take you to the Isla de los Pájaros. The Canal de los Piratas is a narrow waterway, ideal for a quiet hour for two.
La Playita suits dinner, a terrace on the shore with hammocks, ceviche and fish tacos. If you would like some history, visit the Fuerte de San Felipe, and if you want to cool off, jump into the Cenote Negro. From November to April it is dry and warm here. Tulum and Playa del Carmen are nearby, but are better suited to a short side trip.
Bacalar itself calls for days without a plan. On a video call, Honeymoon will agree with you how many nights are worthwhile and where on the water you would like to stay.
