Hotel Riu Palace Mexico Weddings

Wedding Destinations, Mexico, Playa del Carmen

55

minutes

(38 miles) from CUN Airport

Inside the gated Playacar community, directly on a 15 km stretch of white sand and only 2 km from Fifth Avenue, this renovated adults-only resort puts a Playa del Carmen wedding within easy reach of dining, shopping, and nightlife. A dedicated team of wedding professionals handles the details of the celebration, and the refurbished rooms and common areas give an 18-and-up guest list a fresh, polished setting for the whole weekend.

Around the ceremony, guests can move between five pools, five bars, themed restaurants, and the new Renova Spa, then head into the evening for the resort’s signature RIU Party or the new sports bar. Couples and VIP guests can upgrade to Elite Club for exclusive suites, a private pool, and a dedicated restaurant, while 24-hour all-inclusive service and room service keep the group comfortable from the first toast to the last late-night snack.
