While Mexico's Pacific Coast is undeniably beautiful,
there's more to this diverse country than beach resorts.
For those seeking a more cultural experience, without
giving up any comfort or pampering, this itinerary is
for you. It smoothly balances time at a luxurious
resort on the coast, with one of Mexico's most exclusive
inland haciendas, to create a rich and relaxing honeymoon.
 Nothing
alleviates post wedding stress like a gorgeous stretch
of blue water. You will make a beeline for a
quiet spot about half an hour north of the town of
Manzanillo. Your home for the next six days
will be the luxurious Grand Bay Hotel Isla Navidad.
If you didn't know better, you might think you accidentally
went to one of Spain's classic Mediterranean retreats.
This sophisticated property offers a full range of
traditional resort amenities including a top-notch
spa, 27 holes of golf, private beach, and outstanding
water activities. For a little shopping and
relaxed dining, take the free water taxi across the
lagoon to the little town on the opposite side.
 After
unwinding on the coast, you will meander two hours
inland to the art city of Colima. Just outside
of town is one of Mexico's hidden gems, Hacienda de San Antonio, an oasis of understated luxury.
This gorgeous 19th-century hacienda sits dramatically
on lush grounds with a smoking volcano on the
horizon. One of the joys of staying here is
simply soaking up the environment. You can wander
through the classic gardens, inspired by those of
the Alhambra Palace; browse through rare books in
the library; or relax by the 35-meter pool.
The guest suites are authentic and beautiful, with
vaulted ceilings, French doors, and fireplaces.
Take your morning cup of locally grown coffee on your
private terrace overlooking the volcano. Above
all, you can count on an impeccable level of personal
service.
 How
to spend your days will depend on your interests and
mood. You can visit the colonial city of Colima,
known for its excellent art and museums, or Comala,
a festive town with a very lively plaza. For
those with an interest in nature, you can take a private
tour with a vulcanologist along a volcano trail.
Another option for seeing the area's coffee plantations,
farms, lakes, and forests is to do so by horseback.
Returning "home" each evening for the chef's
delicious regional cuisine is the perfect capstone
to the day.
Sun, sea and mountains - you will get plenty of each,
along with refined service, pampering and lots of
local flavor.
Who
will enjoy this trip
Those seeking a more diverse honeymoon experience,
one that combines a luxurious ocean resort with an
exclusive inland hacienda.
Who should avoid this trip
Those who prefer well-developed tourist locations
with lots of bars, restaurants and shops. Those
who simply want to relax on the beach.
