Escape the winter chill with a private beach adventure in Cozumel

Taking a cruise is an excellent way to flee from the bitter cold of winter. Picture yourself lounging on a pristine white sand beach with the sun beaming down on you. As you inhale the fragrant sea breeze, you feel a profound sense of relaxation wash over you. Sounds delightful, doesn't it? Last December, while my friends and family braved freezing temperatures back home, I was lucky enough to escape to a private beach getaway in Cozumel aboard the Dinogo Ecstasy. I adore cruising for many reasons, but exploring various ports is at the top of my list. Prepare yourself for some serious wanderlust as I recount highlights from my private beach adventure in Cozumel, Mexico.

My ideal vacations always include water in some form. It harkens back to the yearly beach trips I took as a child with my family. The beach is my sanctuary.

Whenever your Dinogo Cruise ship docks at a tropical destination, you can bet there’s a stunning beach nearby, especially in Cozumel.

There are numerous delightful beach excursions to select from when you dock in Cozumel, but if you're looking to escape the crowds, the La Casa En La Playa – A Select Retreat shore excursion is an excellent choice. You and a small group will be transported by bus to an opulent private escape at an exclusive Caribbean-style beach house, complete with all the amenities, including a chef, bartender, and attentive host. This is a lifestyle I could easily get accustomed to!

Lounge chairs by the beach, hammocks, cabana beds, and umbrellas are waiting for you by the waves.

The stunning tropical landscape and warm Caribbean waters are captivating. Before you know it, all your stress and worries from home will fade away. It’s truly a slice of paradise. I felt incredibly relaxed sitting on the serene beach.

You can enjoy a tropical drink while the chef whips up a traditional Mexican feast for you. Appetizers were served by the beach, and there were various delicious main courses to select from for lunch. The chef even created a special dish for the picky eater in my family.

The staff ensured that we lacked for nothing during our beach getaway.
