Puerto Escondido works beautifully as a couples' getaway: wide beaches, long sunsets, unhurried dinners and small hotels where rest feels real.
Things to do for two
Watch the sunset from the rocky point at La Punta.
Head out by boat at dawn to see dolphins, with a calm sea and almost no one around.
Swim at night in the bioluminescence at Manialtepec.
Have a seafood dinner with your feet in the sand.
Book a massage facing the sea or a temazcal session.
Slip away for a day to Mazunte and climb Punta Cometa at sunset.
When to go
From November to April the weather is dry and the nights mild. September and October are the quietest months, ideal if you're after privacy and low prices.
How to plan it
Choose a walkable area so you don't depend on taxis at night, book dinners with a view in advance, and leave at least one day with no plan at all.
