Every week, we get requests from couples looking for places to wed or honeymoon in Mexico. So many that we decided to create a guide for those who are interested in exploring the destination further.
Mexico is an excellent choice for a destination wedding or honeymoon. Why? It’s close and easy to travel to, affordable, and offers incredible beaches and an inviting climate. Plus, it has a wide range of resort areas to choose from. From the Pacific Coast to the Caribbean Sea, Mexico offers a variety of destinations to appeal to your personal style. From popular and energetic to remote and calming, let us show you the best destinations for a wedding or honeymoon in Mexico!
Riviera Maya
This stretch of Caribbean coastline on Mexico’s northeastern Yucatán Peninsula is known for elegant resorts, long beaches, and an ambiance that is still somewhat undiscovered. Packed with unbelievable resort experiences, choosing a top pick in this magical destination was hard. So, here are some of our favorites: Rosewood Mayakoba, Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection, Chablé Maroma, The St. Regis Kanai Resort and Maroma, a Belmond Hotel. These are the spots for everything from a beach wedding at sunset to an elegant reception dinner under the stars. Or even for a secluded honeymoon getaway for two.
With its close proximity to a number of Mayan ruins, the Riviera Maya is a great spot for a honeymoon. Or maybe to provide your wedding guests with opportunities for exploration either pre- or post-wedding. It’s less crowded and more authentic than Cancun, yet it still offers five-star resorts and all the amenities you could ask for. So if you are seeking out a venue for a destination wedding or honeymoon in Mexico, the Riviera Maya might just be the place.
