Acapulco

From cliff divers to iconic resorts, Acapulco has long been a favorite destination on Mexico’s Pacific coast.

The variety of elegant resorts make it a popular spot to have your destination wedding or honeymoon here. We recommend the Banyan Tree Cabo Marques as our top pick for a destination wedding or honeymoon resort in Acapulco, Mexico.

Playa Del Carmen

Playa Del Carmen is a coastal resort town on the Yucatan Peninsula along the Caribbean Sea. Our pick for the best resort in Playa Del Carmen? Mahekal Beach Resort is a Boho-chic inspired beach wedding and honeymoon resort in Playa Del Carmen. This tropical oasis with luxurious amenities prides itself on providing all the comforts you can imagine. In fact, because there are no TVs or phones in the guest rooms, you can literally unplug, and really enjoy your time here. The setting is truly spectacular whether you just want relaxation in a hammock for your honeymoon or a seaside destination wedding in Mexico with stunning ocean views.

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 somewhat still undiscovered. Wedaways has selected two resorts as our top picks here including the Banyan Tree Mayakoba and the Andaz Mayakoba Resort. These are the spots for everything from a beach wedding at sunset to an elegant reception dinner under the stars. Or we can recommend the perfect accommodations 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 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.
