My Favorite Resorts for a Destination Wedding in Costa Mujeres
If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that feels like a sun-soaked, margarita-in-hand kind of fairytale THEN you’re going to want to meet Costa Mujeres. Tucked just north of Cancún (but blissfully removed from the chaos), this stretch of white-sand coastline is low-key luxe, peaceful, and perfect for destination weddings. Think: oceanfront “I dos,” rooftop receptions with sea views, and all-inclusive perks that make your guests feel like VIPs.
I’ve scouted (and planned!) weddings all over Mexico, but Costa Mujeres just hits different. It’s effortlessly beautiful, a little off-the-beaten-path, and the resorts here? Total pros at making wedding dreams come true.
1. Atelier Playa Mujeres
Vibe: Sophisticated adults-only elegance with serious “wow” factor
This resort is like if a modern art gallery, spa retreat, and luxury honeymoon suite had a baby. Atelier nails that perfect combo of upscale and relaxed and the wedding team here? Actual angels in linen suits. With sleek architecture, jaw-dropping ceremony setups [like the El Cielo rooftop], and gourmet dining that’ll have your foodie guests weeping, this one’s for couples who want chic without the stuffiness. Check out their venues.
2. Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres
Vibe: Adults-only serenity with a splash of glam
This is one of the newest additions to the Costa Mujeres lineup and it's giving soft luxury meets tropical romance. Secrets Playa Blanca is adults-only, ultra-romantic, and ideal for couples who want that peaceful, pampered vibe without sacrificing style. Think beachfront ceremonies, fire pits, and ocean-view suites that take your breath away.
I especially love the white staircase because it’s the perfect backdrop for bridal portraits and those sweet family photo moments. And the lush foliage all around the property makes everything feel like you’re tucked away in your own private jungle-meets-beach oasis. It’s elegant, intimate, and totally made for that “how is this real life?” wedding weekend.
3. Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort
Vibe: Classic romance meets all-inclusive ease
This one is a crowd-pleaser, especially for couples who want those Pinterest-worthy wedding photos and a planning process that feels like a breeze. It’s family-friendly without feeling chaotic, and offers the perfect balance of fun and relaxation; We’re talking a lazy river, waterslides, and an amazing kids’ club. Dreams offers multiple ceremony locations (beach, terrace, garden gazebo, you name it but my favorite is the glass panels over the pool), and the in-house coordinators are pros. Bonus: their wedding packages include a complimentary room for the couple on their anniversary if you return.
4. Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres
Vibe: Stylish + budget-friendly with something for everyone
Majestic Elegance hits that sweet spot between affordable luxury and “wait, this is all included?!” It’s a newer resort with clean, modern design, spacious suites (hello, outdoor jacuzzis), and wedding packages that are super flexible. One of the best parts? The layout has both family-friendly and adults-only sections, so everyone in your group can feel at home. Ceremony options include beachfront, garden, and a stunning sky terrace for those sunset vows. My favorite add-on while staying there? The tequila tasting experience! I learned so much about the culture, the history, and the spirit itself (shoutout to the in-house tequila connoisseur who made it feel like a mini masterclass with a buzz). It’s such a fun way to kick off the wedding weekend or treat your guests to something unique. It’s the perfect pick for couples who want something elegant, fun, and easy to customize—without blowing the whole wedding budget.
Why Costa Mujeres Works So Well for Destination Weddings
✔️ Easy access from Cancún airport (but way quieter than the Hotel Zone)
✔️ Newer, design-forward resorts that prioritize guest experience
✔️ Amazing wedding teams + customizable packages
✔️ White-glove vibes without sky-high prices
If one of these dreamy resorts caught your eye, I’d love to help you make it your wedding weekend reality. I work closely with the wedding teams at each of these properties to ensure your big day goes off without a hitch, while you focus on sipping cocktails and enjoying your engagement glow.
