Hyatt Ziva Cancun — All-Inclusive Destination Weddings 2026
Cancun Hotel Zone, Mexico · 5-Star · Family-Friendly + Adults-Only Turquoize Section · 547 Rooms · Peninsula Setting
Resort Overview
Hyatt Ziva Cancun is the flagship family-friendly all-inclusive in the Hyatt Inclusive Collection portfolio — a 5-star resort with 547 rooms and suites on a private peninsula in the Cancun Hotel Zone, 30 minutes from Cancun International Airport (CUN). Six distinct wedding venues ranging from an intimate 65-guest oceanfront cliff gazebo to a 500-guest indoor Elements Ballroom give this property more venue variety than almost any competing all-inclusive in Cancun. The resort's on-site dolphin experience, rooftop infinity pool, KidZ Club, and 8 restaurants ensure wedding groups have substantive activity options throughout a multi-night stay. The Turquoize adults-only section of the resort — a separate wing with its own pool and check-in — means couples can place adult guests in an adults-only environment while families with children enjoy the main resort, all attending the wedding together. No other Cancun all-inclusive offers this within-resort mixed-age solution.
Historic Lighthouse — Unreplicable Backdrop
The resort's working historic lighthouse is a ceremony backdrop available at no other Cancun all-inclusive. The Lighthouse Gazebo (150 guests) wraps the ceremony around this landmark — impossible to fake or stage elsewhere.
3-Sided Ocean Exposure
The peninsula setting means virtually every room and every outdoor venue has ocean views. Ocean photography from any venue faces actual open water — not a neighboring resort building or lagoon-side view.
Turquoize Adults-Only Section
A dedicated adults-only wing with its own pool, lounge, and rooftop infinity pool — inside the same resort. Wedding guests with children stay in the family section; adult guests who prefer quiet can book Turquoize. Everyone attends the wedding together.
6 Venues · 65 to 500 Guests
The widest single-resort venue range of any all-inclusive in the Cancun Hotel Zone — from the 65-guest Cliff Gazebo to the 500-guest Elements Ballroom and 500-guest Sahara Beach. Any guest count from elopement to grand celebration is covered.
On-Site Dolphin Experience
Swim with dolphins directly at the resort — a genuine wedding-week group activity requiring no transportation, no outside tour booking, and no additional resort access. One of the strongest activity differentiators in the Cancun Hotel Zone.
Weekday Discount — $1,035 Saving
The Zama Signature package costs $18,112 Monday–Thursday vs $19,147 Friday–Sunday in 2026. Thursday is the most cost-efficient wedding date — meaningful saving with no reduction in venue access or package inclusions.
Wedding Venues 6 Venues · 65 to 500 Guests
Hyatt Ziva Cancun has more distinct venue options than any comparable Cancun all-inclusive — and critically, the venues are genuinely different settings, not variations on the same beach stretch. A ceremony at the Lighthouse Gazebo looks nothing like one at the Cliff Gazebo or the Sky Terrace. No staging or decoration can replicate the lighthouse backdrop elsewhere in Cancun.
Cliff Gazebo
Up to 200 guests · Ceremony & ReceptionOceanfront gazebo perched on the cliff edge with open Caribbean Sea views on all sides. The most popular ceremony venue at the resort and the default location included in the Zama Signature package. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and palm trees — the definitive Hyatt Ziva ceremony setting.
Lighthouse Gazebo
Up to 150 guests · Ceremony, Cocktail & ReceptionThe resort's most iconic venue — a gazebo setting adjacent to the property's working historic lighthouse, which serves as an architectural backdrop impossible to find at any other Cancun resort. Can host ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location for groups under 150.
Sky Terrace
Up to 180 guests · Ceremony & ReceptionElevated rooftop terrace with panoramic ocean and Hotel Zone views — slightly covered on one side for shade. Particularly popular for receptions following a Cliff Gazebo ceremony. The best golden-hour photography position at the resort.
Punta Vista Terrace
Up to 250 guests · Ceremony & ReceptionOpen-air terrace with ocean views — the go-to mid-to-large group outdoor venue. Capacity of 250 makes it the largest outdoor venue option with a defined structure, for groups too large for the gazebos but wanting to stay outdoors.
Sahara Beach
200 ceremony · 400–500 cocktail/receptionThe resort's main Caribbean beachfront — the primary venue for very large events. 400–500-guest capacity for cocktail hours and receptions makes this the only Hyatt Ziva Cancun venue suited to truly grand-scale celebrations. White sand with turquoise water backdrop.
Elements Ballroom
Up to 500 guests · Indoor · Rain BackupThe resort's indoor event space — climate-controlled, full AV capability including lighting rigs, stage, and sound. The highest-capacity single venue at any Cancun all-inclusive. Primary rain backup for all outdoor events and the best option for dancing-focused evening receptions.

Legal Weddings in Mexico at Hyatt Ziva Cancun
Legal, symbolic, multicultural, and same-sex ceremonies are all available. The Zama package defaults to a symbolic ceremony — not legally binding in Mexico. This is the path most U.S. and Canadian couples choose: a full ceremony at the resort for guests, with a simple courthouse legal marriage at home before or after travel.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Minimum arrival | 2 full business days before the ceremony. Arrival day, weekends, and national holidays do not count. |
| Birth certificates | Original birth certificates — apostilled and with certified Spanish translation. |
| Marital status | Sworn declaration of single status. If previously married: apostilled, translated divorce decree or death certificate. |
| Blood test | Required by the state of Quintana Roo — arranged through the resort coordinator, typically 3 days before the ceremony. |
| Processing fees | Legal ceremony coordination, judge fees, and witness fees apply in addition to the wedding package. Confirm current charges with the resort coordinator at time of booking. |
| Same-sex legal marriage | Fully legal in Mexico and performed at Hyatt Ziva Cancun. No restrictions apply. |
| Lead time | Begin document preparation at least 3–4 months before the wedding date. |
