The Best Wedding Locations in Mexico

Mexico is full of incredible wedding locations. The most beautiful area for weddings is the Riviera Maya, where we are located. Here you have several options to choose from depending on your preferences.

Tulum – Boho and magic

Tulum is located about 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of Playa del Carmen and was a huge city with an important port in Mayan times. Tulum got its name from the Spanish, who called it Tulu’um (“wall” or “fortress”). Today, the city is best known for its long sandy beach and famous seaside temple complex. The fascinating ruins of Tulum sit majestically on a cliff and offer breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.

The town has a laid-back atmosphere. Here you will find lush vegetation, beautiful, sometimes very luxurious bungalow complexes and boutique hotels, small restaurants, cafes and boutiques – all with a touch of boho style. The white sandy beaches are gorgeous and the ideal place for a Mexico beach wedding or a magical Mayan ceremony.

Isla Holbox – Vibes with plenty of nature

Less known than Tulum, but just as trendy, is the small island of Holbox, located about 60 km (37 miles) north of CancĂșn. The name Holbox comes from the Mayan language and means “black hole” due to the dark color of the water caused by the mangroves.

Due to its secluded location, Holbox Island offers an abundance of nature and exciting excursions. In addition to the most beautiful sunsets in Mexico, you will find charming accommodations and excellent restaurants. Dreamy beach weddings in Holbox are just as popular as romantic honeymoons.

Playa del Carmen – Beaches and cenotes

Playa del Carmen is probably one of the most famous wedding locations on the Riviera Maya. The town located between Cancun and Tulum was originally called “Xaman-Ha”, which means “water from the north”. Here you will find a great range of nightlife, restaurants and shopping. There is also a wide variety of accommodations. From charming boutique hotels to luxurious all-inclusive resorts, there is something for everyone.

Despite the vibrant atmosphere of the city, you will find beautiful white beaches, crystal clear waters and secluded corners. Of course, we know the best wedding venues in Playa del Carmen to make your special day unforgettable.

Isla Mujeres – Dream beach and culture

The “Women’s Island”, as it is called, is located about 13 km (8 miles) opposite CancĂșn and is easily reached by ferry. Isla Mujeres is popular with tourists for day trips, but also offers fantastic opportunities for longer stays to relax on its beautiful beaches. On the cultural side, you can visit the Underwater Museum or the Mayan Sculpture Park in the south of the island.

The most popular and beautiful beach for weddings on Isla Mujeres is Playa Norte in the far north, where most of the hotels are located.

Xcalacoco – Quiet and private

Approximately 3 km (2 miles) north of Playa del Carmen lies this small village. The word Xcalacoco comes from the Mayan language and means “coconut twins”. And the beautiful beach lives up to its name, with palm trees providing shade all day long. The quiet, dreamy stretch of beach offers an ideal and relaxed atmosphere for a private wedding ceremony.

Xpu Ha – Dreamlike beach wedding

The small village of Xpu Ha with its pristine beach is located 30 km (19 miles) south of Playa del Carmen. “Misty water” – that’s what the Maya called this dreamy place. Probably because of the spray that occasionally hangs in the air. The sea is turquoise blue, the sand powdery and white, and there is a fascinating coral reef right in front of the beach.

Cenotes – Mystical freshwater springs in the jungle
