Whether you’re a cynic about love or a hopeless romantic, you won’t be able to escape that Valentine’s Day is here. So why not embrace it? Remember, all you need is love! So, if you need some convincing of that — or if you’re counting down the days to Valentine’s Day — we have just what you need to get in the mood.
We’ve compiled the most beautiful Spanish love songs that are perfect for giving you (or your loved ones) the most love vibes ever. Back in the day, people would give their crush a mix with their favorite songs. Think of this love music list as your mix that will give you all sorts of emotions, and feel free to pass it on to your luva(s).
Be aware these songs are about love. Not about broken hearts or forcing someone to fall in love with you, but real love that is here to stay.
RBD – “Tu Amor”
Instagram/@rbd.porsiempre
We know that RBD has a ton of songs about love, but “Tu Amor” has to be one of our favorites. Yes, it’s in Spanglish, but it still counts!
Jose Jose – “Amar y Querer”
YouTube
There’s a rumor that Jose Jose invented love. Okay, while that be a lie, Jose Jose is the king of love songs. This one, in particular, is extra romantic. He always makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Los Enanitos Verdes – “Luz de Dia”
Instagram/@enanitosverdes
There are not many Spanish rock songs that will make you cry, or can explain the true wonders of love, but this song does exactly that. Enanitos Verdes may not have been the most popular rock band, but this song is the most beautiful rock ballad ever.
Selena – “Amor Prohibido”
YouTube
Selena has a lot of wonderful songs about love, but remember, this mix isn’t about love that is lost (or that doesn’t exist). This song not only screams that love is real, but she also says, people don’t want them to be together, just like Romeo and Juliet.
Juanes – “Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor”
Instagram/@juanes
Oof.
That’s what this song by Juanes makes us feel. When he released this song, Juanes was still becoming a household name. However, he hooked us in real good with this track.
Los Zafiros – “He Venido”
Instagram
Let’s go old-school for a bit, like real old school. Los Zafiros — a Cuban harmony vocal group — were around during the ’60s, but their music is timeless. This song is beyond romantic, take a listen and you won’t know what hit you. It may sound retro, but it’s a classic.
Shakira – “Tu”
YouTube
We will admit that there’s one other Shakira song in the mix. The girl has too many love songs, but “Tu” is one of her earlier tracks nad it’s so darn amazing.
Luis Miguel – “Mucho corazon”
YouTube
Luis Miguel is a master at love songs. He has a way of singing that makes you think he is in love with you. That’s probably why he has so many fans.
Sin Bandera – “Entra en mi vida”
YouTube
“Entra en mi vida/ Te abro la puerta/ Sé que en tus brazos ya no habrá noches desiertas” if those lines don’t make you feel love, then you are officially a robot.
Julieta Venegas – “Lento”
YouTube
If you’ve ever been in love (that deep obsessive love) you know the feeling of not wanting it to end. That’s what “Lento” by Julieta Venegas makes you feel. She wants every moment to be slow and magical, and that’s what the song really is.
Christian – “No podras”
YouTube
Christian’s voice is rare, or we should say his pitch is out of this world. Sometimes people say that there is no way you can truly describe what love is. If you listen to this song by Christian, you will know exactly what love is.
Franco de Vita – “Te Amo”
YouTube
Even before we had experienced love (or even puberty), we had no idea what love was or anything. But for some reason, this song by Franco de Vita was everywhere, and women loved it so much. We automatically associated love at first sight with this song and knew that love could exist on any corner — if we only we had our heart open.
Fey – “Media Naranja”
YouTube
Some say that you’ll know if you found “the one” if they are your soul mates or if they compliment you in every way. Clearly Fey knows all about that feeling because she describes it perfectly in this song. And it will make you dance!
Tito El Bambino – “Llueve el Amor”
YouTube
Sometimes love can best be explained through motion. Tito El Bambino exudes romance through this music and “Llueve el Amor” will have you thinking that it does rain love.
Marisela and Marco Antonio Solis – “La Pareja Ideal”
YouTube
Marisela and Marco Antonio Solis were an actual couple, and who could ever question that? Their duets have so much chemistry. It’s a shame they are no longer together, but in our mind, they will always be the ideal couple.
Prince Royce – “Darte Un Beso”
YouTube
Oh, Prince Royce… Valentine’s Day would suck without you and your lyrics and your music, and your beautiful face! We will just leave it at that.
Luis Fonsi and Juan Luis Guerra – “Llegaste Tú”
YouTube
If someone said to you: “Yo soy el hombre más afortunado/ Me ha tocado un ser/ El que conoce cada línea de tu mano/ El que te cuida/ Y camina a tu lado,” you would simply respond by saying “you had me ‘yo.'”
Cafe Tacvba – “Eres”
YouTube
Cafe Tacvba may seem like a typical rock band but these guys are anything but typical. In fact, not only will they make you dance, and rock out, but also release one of the most beloved love songs of all-time.
Shakira – “Estoy Aqui”
YouTube
Here’s that other Shakira song that we had to include. This woman knows and understands all the intricacies of real love. She’s amazing at putting it on paper and singing it to the masses.
Wisin & Yandel – “Gracias A Ti”
YouTube
This song may seem like it was written for the fans of Wisin & Yandel but at the heart of it, it’s about love and showing that other person how much they mean to you. And if you can’t say it on Valentine’s Day, when else can you say it? The answer to that is every day
The last time I was in México, I couldn’t believe how gorgeous the country truly was. It was my first time on the Caribbean side of the country, though I had already spent some time on the Pacific Coast. But the truth is, whether you are on one of the coasts, in Mexico City, or anywhere else in the country, you are sure to be surrounded by beautiful nature. Usually, when planning your next vacation, that includes a beach — but that’s not all that Mexico has to offer.
Whether your family is from America’s southern neighbor or from elsewhere in Latin America, México can be a wonderful place to get some much-needed rest and relaxation. And what better way to R&R than at one of México’s top hotels and resorts. From luxurious, adults-only, five-star resorts to unique boutique hotels and everything in between, here are the 20 best hotels and resorts in México that are sure to add a bit of luxury to your next vacation.
This all-inclusive hotel is situated in Mexico’s Riviera Maya at Playa del Carmen, in between the vibrant jungle and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The resort features four other hotels (and plenty of restaurants) but you’ll want to stay at the Grand Paraíso because it’s adults-only, and you’ll be able to relax and enjoy superb services (like a butler who will make you your very own rose bubble bath), a spa, golf, parties, a theater with nightly entertainment, amazing restaurants, and so much more.
It’s easy to find a luxurious resort in Mexico (after all, that’s what this list is for!) but sometimes you want a quiet, intimate place that’s out of the ordinary. That’s where Hotel El Ganzo in Los Cabos comes in. With just 70 guest rooms, but plenty of style, it’s a special experience. But the truly unique thing about this gem is that you can still have incredible spa treatments and gourmet cuisine, while listening to music probably coming from the hotel’s Underground Studio, where live musical performances and curated visual art exhibits are a serious treat for guests.
This hotel offers all of the sophistication and contemporary style that today’s smart luxury travelers love, along with state-of-the-art event spaces and eclectic dining options. But do you know what makes Conrad San Luis Potosi, set in the exclusive Lomas neighborhood, stand out? They offer an immersive cultural experience in 1, 3 or 5-hour itineraries. For instance: If you choose the “Go Directly to Jail” experience, you’ll travel to a new arts complex that was created in a 19th-century prison. There you’ll see art and sculpture exhibits in old jail cells and resident performers. Talk about a unique experience!
If you’re looking for a hotel in Mexico to bring high-energy dan plenty of fun this summer, then look no further than the ME Cabo, an upscale resort that has a full summer lineup of electric pool parties. Sure, some hotels are perfect for relaxing but this Baja Peninsula location, which features a gorgeous backdrop of desert-meets-ocean, is for those who are looking to let loose. Stay for a week at least so that you can fully experience the relaxing weekdays and high-energy weekends that this hotel is known and loved for.
Overlooking the Sea of Cortez in Hacienda del Mar, the Sheraton Grand Los Cabos sits on top of 28 acres of land in the upscale enclave of Cabo del Sol. You have plenty of options in how to stay here, since the resort offers 270 guest rooms, including 31 private suits with private terraces. There are five restaurants, six bars, and 24-hour room service. And did I mention the two Five Star Diamond award-winning waterfront restaurants? Sure, the atmosphere seems like you’re in a little seaside village, but it’s luxury all the way.
If you’re traveling to Mexico City, then you simply must stay at Ignacia Guest House, a chic boutique bed and breakfast located in the gastronomic center of Mexico City in the vibrant Colonia Roma neighborhood. It’s an exclusive B&B with just five suites that feature a combination of Mexican artisan tradition and history with contemporary design. The cooks here prepare everything from scratch, using their pantry and sourcing all of their ingredients at neighborhood markets. And for the true foodie, you can even experience one of Casa Jacaranda’s cooking classes (just above Ignacia Guest House).
Located on the beautiful beaches of Cancun, the Hyatt Zilara Cancun is an all-inclusive resort that’s adults-only, which makes it perfect to visit with your sweetie or your girls. But the best part of this grand, luxurious hotel is their brand new Zen Spa. There’s so much to do that you won’t know where to start. Other than the incredible facial and massage options, you’ll want to try the Alchemy Ritual. This is a spa offer that includes a workshops at Alchemy, a private spa “test kitchen” where you will be able to create personalized balms and moisturizers made with all-natural ingredients.
For a mix of modern bohemian luxe with traditional vibes (in this case, those of the Huichol culture found in Nayarit), you’ll want to visit this gorgeous hotel that’s located in the middle of a jungle but also has a beachfront that’s to-die-for. Your first stop might just be the fantastic beach bar, called Chevycheria, which serves fresh ceviche and craft beer from a repurposed 1950’s Chevy pickup truck. If you really want to up the ante, though, you can book a mezcal and tequila tasting that also includes the not-so-known raicilla that is another alcohol made from the agave plant.
Oaxaca is known to be one of the most beautiful parts of Mexico (then again, what part isn’t) and that is particularly true of this resort which is located on the untouched Pacific coast beach on the Oaxaca Emerald Coast. The Vivo Resorts Mexico are an exclusive community where you can stay for vacation and even buy condos so that you can come back over and over again. There are plenty of activities you can enjoy on-site, but one of the really great things is that here you’ll also be able to explore the charming downtown Puerto Escondido markets for fresh local products.
Located in between the historic town of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, this luxury resort on the tip of the Baja Peninsula is a wonder of Rosewood Hotels expertise and beauty.

There’s a variety of suites and an All-Inclusive program that features snacks and drinks that are available 24 hours a day, plus of course access to all three restaurants.

Or did you want to relax on the pristine Playa el Palmar? You’ve got it. And if you’re the kind of want to take in a game of golf, then here you go. And I haven’t even yet mentioned the Spa El Capricho, which combines Aztec healing traditions and rituals with local ingredients. It’s pretty incredible, really.
I fully admit that I used to think that the Hard Rock Hotel chain, which explores the lifestyle of a rock n’ roll star, was kind of cheesy. But they’ve done an incredible job with their hotels, including this one that offers an escape to the legendary beaches and impossibly blue waters of the Bahia de Banderas in Riviera Nayarit. This luxurious, all-inclusive resort has a gorgeous beachfront setting, and plenty of options to play, eat, retreat, and bliss out. From the modern rooms and suits to the luxurious spa, you’ll finally be able to relax at this hotel on the Pacific Ocean.
This resort has set out to redefine the wellness game. Located just 25 minutes from the historic city of Mérida, the Chablé offers 38 casitas and two expansive villas that are perfectly situated within the lush gardens. You can enjoy nature to its fullest before hearing to the world-class spa.
