The Most Romantic Destinations In San Miguel Mexico

You are ready for a little lovers’ escape and San Miguel de Allende – the home of orange-tinted dusks, old-fashioned houses and cobblestone streets – sounds just right. Here are some tips for planning the romantic trip of your dreams, in one of Mexico’s most scenic locations.

Breakfast at Casa Blanca

The new Casa Blanca Hotel, right in the heart of San Miguel’s downtown, is a great little spot for an intimate breakfast for two on their sunny central patio. Their delicious Mediterranean menu has yet to be discovered by the crowds, so go now and you will be one of the few leisurely brunchers soaking up the sun in this 200-year-old colonial mansion.

Enjoy a French-bistro-inspired vibe at the countryside restaurant El Vergel Bistro, just outside town. What was once farmland is now an enchanting restaurant with an outdoor garden, where you can stare into the eyes of your beloved under the massive mesquite tree, enjoying classic French onion soup or duck confit.

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.

A stroll through nature

The breathtaking collection of native species at the Charco de Ingenio reserve is a lovely place for a stroll hand-in-hand. The park hugs the town’s dam, which brims with local flora and fauna – twittering birds and dramatic, flowering cacti. Linger enough to catch the sunset and you have the perfect place to profess your love.

Cocktails with a view at sunset

Casa de los Angelitos has one of the most priceless views of the San Miguel sunset, located in the colonial city of Atascadero. Reserve a night in one of their luxurious yet quirky suites and enjoy delicious food and a sunset cocktail with a view that will take your breath away.

Skip town for a day trip

If you’d like to get out of San Miguel for the day, head to Guanajuato. Its charming, mountainside eateries and colourful streets will win your heart over. Make sure to kiss in the Callejón del Beso and take some time to watch the seniors sway to danzón in the central plaza under the trees.
