A poolside dinner
Good food options abound in San Miguel, but why not try out a classic like Moxi, in the fabulously chic Matilda Hotel? The menu was originally created by famous Mexican chef Enrique Olvera and we promise that a poolside dinner with cool, blue lighting will put you in the mood for skinny dipping later.
A luxury night in
Dos Casas Hotel is the peak of luxury boutique hotels in San Miguel. The service is friendly and professional and their fine-dining restaurant, Áperi, has lots of corners to get cozy with your loved one. Be sure to reserve a room with a private patio and Jacuzzi for two. The glittering rooftops of San Miguel and a little bubbly make for a perfect romantic night in.

The breathtaking collection of native species at the Charco de Ingenio reserve is a lovely place for a stroll hand-in-hand.
