Barceló Maya Riviera Adults Only — All-Inclusive Destination Weddings
Carretera Chetumal-Puerto Juárez Km 266.3, Xpu-Ha, Riviera Maya, Q.R., Mexico · Adults-Only (18+) · 850 Suites · 4.5-Star · Barceló Maya Grand Complex
Resort Overview
Barceló Maya Riviera Adults Only is the luxury flagship of the Barceló Maya Grand Resort complex in Xpu-Ha, Riviera Maya — one of the largest and most comprehensive all-inclusive resort destinations in Mexico. Recently built and designed with majestic architecture, monochromatic textures, and soaring ceilings, it sits directly on one of the Riviera Maya's finest white-sand Caribbean beaches. All 850 accommodations are junior suites or suites — every room includes a furnished balcony or terrace, with swim-up and oceanfront categories available. The 32,000 sq ft spa, the largest infinity pool in the Riviera Maya, 5 restaurants, and access to the entire Barceló Maya Grand complex (bowling alley, dolphinarium, water park, 3 theaters, nightclub, shopping center) make the package genuinely unmatched for scale. The on-site Convention Center alone exceeds 226,000 sq ft — the largest in the Riviera Maya — giving this property a venue capacity that few all-inclusive resorts can approach.
Largest Infinity Pool in Riviera Maya
The headline pool feature in the complex — an expansive infinity pool facing the Caribbean that anchors the resort's outdoor experience and serves as a natural backdrop for group photos and receptions.
Largest Convention Center in Riviera Maya
226,000+ sq ft of dedicated event and function space — the largest in the Riviera Maya. For very large weddings where venue scale is the primary concern, no competing all-inclusive property comes close.
Free-Flow Access to 5 Sister Resorts
All Maya Riviera guests have access to Barceló Maya Beach, Caribe, Colonial, Tropical, and Palace — 5 additional properties within the same complex, all walkable, dramatically expanding dining and activity options for the wedding week.
All-Suite Resort — 850 Rooms
Every room is a junior suite or suite — no standard rooms. All 850 accommodations include a living area, furnished balcony or terrace, and the resort's premium suite amenities from the moment guests check in.
32,000 sq ft Spa
One of the largest resort spas in the Riviera Maya — signature facials, hot stone massage, body wraps, aromatherapy, and couples massages. An important wedding group amenity for pre-ceremony pampering.
On-Site Catholic Chapel
The Chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe is available for Catholic wedding ceremonies — a religious ceremony option rarely found at adults-only all-inclusive resorts.
Wedding Venues 5 Venues · Up to 1,000+ Guests
The Maya Arena's capacity — over 1,000 guests — makes this one of the few all-inclusive resorts in Mexico where a genuinely grand-scale wedding is physically feasible. Most couples will use a combination of the outdoor venues for the ceremony and the Maya Arena or Tankah Hall for the reception.
| Venue | Setting | Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beach | Direct beachfront on the Caribbean — white sand with the turquoise sea and ocean breeze. The resort's primary outdoor ceremony space, spacious enough for very large groups. | Up to 1,000 ceremony / cocktail / reception | Large beach ceremonies; any group size up to 1,000 outdoors |
| Maya Arena | Grandiose indoor ballroom with majestic architecture — soaring ceilings and elegant décor. The resort's flagship event space and primary large-reception venue. Part of the 226,000 sq ft Convention Center complex. | Up to 1,000+ (banquet) | Grand-scale receptions; large corporate-style celebrations; rain contingency for beach events |
| Tankah Hall | An intimate ballroom setting offering the elegance of a grand hall in a more personal, enclosed scale — designed specifically for smaller weddings that want the ballroom feel without the cavernous size. | Intimate groups · confirm exact capacity | Smaller weddings under 100 guests; couples wanting intimacy with ballroom elegance |
| Gazebo Palace | A defined outdoor gazebo structure in the resort grounds — a traditional ceremony focal point for couples who want a gazebo backdrop rather than the open beach. | Ceremony · flexible | Traditional gazebo ceremony; defined ceremony focal point; elegant outdoor photos |
| Chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe | On-site Catholic chapel — an authentic religious ceremony space within the resort complex, available for couples wanting a full Catholic wedding ceremony at an all-inclusive resort. | Indoor ceremony | Catholic religious ceremonies; couples wanting a church wedding in an all-inclusive setting |
