Sanibel Island
#5 in Best Cheap Romantic Getaways
Secluded from more luxurious Florida destinations, Sanibel Island is perfect for couples in search of a romantic beach getaway. The island is home to more rental properties than resorts, so finding affordable lodging is easy. Plus, you can whip up a delicious homemade breakfast and treat your sweetie to breakfast in bed. Plan to catch at least one dreamy sunset over Captiva Island, and spend some time relaxing on both islands’ beautiful white sand beaches.
Tulum
#6 in Best Cheap Romantic Getaways
You came for the fascinating Mayan ruins, but you’ll stay for the white sand beaches and spectacular swimming sinkholes, known as cenotes. Spend the day lounging on Playa Paraíso, then cuddle up to your sweetheart at night in an affordable boutique hotel or luxurious glamping tent, many of which offer amenities like king-sized beds and Wi-Fi access. Couples heading to Tulum between June and October will enjoy fewer crowds and cheaper room rates, but keep in mind, these months are notorious for sweltering temperatures and frequent rain showers.
