Weddings by Design

Do you dream of getting married on the beach? Cabanas Retiro Maya makes this dream come true with a Wedding by Design, in which the ceremony and banquet are planned at the bride and groom's request. Let us take care of all the details while you and your loved one focus entirely on enjoying such a memorable celebration. We are committed to create a unique and personalized celebration in which each detail - menu, decorations, and entertainment - is carefully planned, thoroughly supervised, and catered with love and outstanding service.

A Mayan Wedding -our specialty- is a traditional ceremony celebrated by a Mayan priestess who guides the bride and groom as they exchange vows honoring Mother Earth's natural elements. The ritual initiates with the couple's purification - copal and apple oil are used to convey love, happiness, and abundance to their union. Afterwards, the bride and groom share fruit and wine, and exchange the love promises they have previously written for each other. Then the priestess crowns the couple with a beautiful flower tiara symbolizing their unification in and with nature. Next, the guests - who actively participate throughout the ritual - share the bride and groom blessings -as they are bathed with flower petals. The ceremony comes to an end with an expression of gratitude to the Mayan Gods for their presence and consent.
The ritual can be followed by a civil ceremony, at the bride and groom's request.

Romantic Honeymoon Suite
Following the celebration, you need only to walk a few steps under the stars to your romantically candlelit Honeymoon Suite, specially prepared for the occasion with champagne and flowers.
Awaken next to your loved one listening to the soothing sound of turquoise waves, and when you request it, we will bring a heartwarming breakfast to your suite.
