Luxury meets eco-tourism at Hacienda Tres Ríos. Perched on the Yucatán peninsula’s eastern shoreline, just six miles from Playa del Carmen, this newly opened escape is dedicated to the preservation of indigenous flora and fauna, and does its part by replenishing hurricane-ravaged mangrove forests, and incorporating enviro-conscious practices into its daily operations.

Beyond the spectacular natural surroundings—the resort enjoys miles of unspoiled beach, verdant forests and access to some of the world’s best diving—couples will discover lavish accommodations and attentive service around the clock.

Mahogany furniture and marble floors create a naturally elegant feel in the 273 suites. Couples can share a cool pitcher of sangria on their private balcony, while taking in views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea. All newlyweds and honeymooners enjoy accommodations with jetted tubs as well as flat-screen TVs and alarm clocks with iPod connection. The resort’s custom pillow menu further ensures a good night’s sleep. Couples may decide not to leave their room at all, and thanks to 24-hour room service, they don’t have to.

For those who do venture outdoors, activities abound. Energetic types can snorkel, kayak or bike around the area, while loungers spend the day poolside. A hike through nearby Tres Ríos Nature Park can offer an up-close look at the area’s natural inhabitants. The resort also arranges day trips to some of the peninsula’s outlying attractions, including lively Playa del Carmen.

After exploring the nearby Mayan ruins or diving the world’s second largest barrier reef, lovers can unwind in the resort’s 13,900-square-foot spa. A couples massage or body treatment will revitalize tired souls, especially after a well-deserved soak in the Jacuzzi. For a truly unforgettable experience, couples should try the onsite temazcal—a steamy Mayan purification ritual that ensures complete mind-body rejuvenation. In addition, daily yoga, meditation and tai chi classes give a healthy start to any day.

Weddings take place in the resort’s beautiful nondenominational chapel, in a garden or by the beach, depending on the bride and groom’s wishes. Hacienda Tres Ríos’ wedding planners take care of all the arrangements, from flowers and photography to arranging group accommodations. They’ll even attend to the legalities of marrying abroad, so brides and grooms can rest easy.
