Are these warm summer temps making you dream about your destination wedding? Get inspired to start planning the day of a lifetime next to the turquoise waves of the Caribbean. Mexico is a perfect location for destination weddings, for so many reasons – and every couple can find a venue tailored to their vision. Read on for five of our experts’ favorites!
Grand Velas | Riviera Maya
Looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of a destination beach city? Grand Velas, tucked away from the noise and adjacent to the lush Yucatán jungle, could be the perfect place for your wedding – whether you’re envisioning an intimate gathering, an extravagant celebration or something in between.
Grand Velas has offered destination wedding services for decades – so they know their stuff. Couples can choose from a wide variety of venue spaces, including stunning beachfront setups, a zen pool terrace, or a modern chapel. The resort’s endless list of services includes florals, prime catering and top-notch videographers, just to name a few.
Impression by Secrets | Isla Mujeres
This adults-only paradise is characterized by its sprawling, spa-like beach decks and white-sand aesthetic. Isla Mujeres is only five miles long, so the resort maintains an air of exclusivity and privacy. Guests will have access to roomy, luxury suites and even complimentary golf carts to explore the island’s coral reefs, tropical foliage and even Mayan ruins.
What’s better than exchanging vows backed by 360-degree views from Impression’s spectacular rooftop terrace? Couples can also arrange for guests to enjoy the resort’s private boat, overwater cabanas or waterfront al fresco movie cinema – making it a true getaway experience for everyone.
La Casa de La Playa | Playa del Carmen
For a wedding unlike any other, check out La Casa de La Playa. Designed by architect David Quintana, the 63-suite resort feels like a natural oasis of warm, inviting vibes: traditional Mexican art decorates each room - and each offer a view of nature, too.
This richly authentic venue can accommodate up to 200 wedding guests and provides them best-in-class dining and cultural amenities, including caving excursions, catamaran trips, and morning guided meditation. La Casa de La Playa is full of other hidden gems, too, including a chocolateria, curated library, and concept store that features Mexican art and textile creations by talented designer Carla Fernández.
Hotel Xcaret | Playa del Carmen
For the fun-and-food loving couple, this Playa del Carmen resort could be the perfect spot to host a true party. The hotel’s “casas” offer a breadth of activities, including pottery and painting workshops, culinary experiences and Latin dance classes, although it might be hard to pull yourself away from the 40-meter infinity pool that overlooks the Caribbean.
Hotel Xcaret describes its 10 restaurants as part of Mexico’s best culinary group – so there’s truly something for everyone. Plus, wedding guests will get to enjoy unlimited access to the parks of Grupo Xcaret, and included hotel/park/airport transportation.
Atelier | Playa Mujeres
For an unbeatable experience in Playa Mujeres, book one of two incredible wedding packages at the Atelier, located on prime real estate (private beaches and golf course, anyone?) in this sought-after wedding location. Host your ceremony on the beach and head up to the resort’s terrace afterwards for a dazzling view of the sunset that offers the perfect backdrop for your reception. Guests will enjoy playing 18 holes by the rich lagoons and stunning sand dunes, and enjoy the 13 restaurant bars and 2 coffee shops.
Plus, you won’t have to worry about planning a separate honeymoon – the Atelier offers couples an extension that adds their honeymoon onto the wedding reservation. No matter how long you stay, you and your guests wil be immersed in a sophisticated world of relaxation.
