Gay spa cancun
Our pick of the most gorgeous gay resorts in Cancun, from all-inclusive options to adult-only resorts and family-friendly spots.
Who wouldn’t fall in love with Cancún?
It’s known for beautiful beaches, turquoise blue waters, and fabulous gay friendly resorts. It’s a hotspot for honeymooning and for anniversaries. Walking down the streets, we couldn’t help but observe how everyone we came across seemed to be celebrating some relationship milestone. The place oozes romance and relaxation.
And while you might know us for our chaotic adventures backpacking through Asia and Europe and partying in clubs, we do prefer to slow down every once in a while. And Cancún is just the place.
Each of the gay friendly resorts we've picked out is within 10 minutes of each other in an area known as the ‘Zona Hotelera’ or ‘Tourist Zone’. It’s a strip of land, mainly frequented by tourists that are perfect for those looking to knock up the beaches, as it sits minutes away from each resort. FYI: Gay travelers generally hang out
