About the Resort
Hyatt Ziva Cancun occupies a stunning peninsula setting with views of both the Caribbean Sea and the Nichupté Lagoon. This premier all-inclusive resort combines Hyatt's world-class hospitality with a dreamy tropical location, offering couples versatile wedding venues from beachfront gazebos to elegant indoor spaces. The resort features both family-friendly areas and adults-only sections, accommodating wedding groups with diverse needs while maintaining premium service throughout.
Wedding Planning Notes
Hyatt Ziva Cancun is a 547-room family-friendly resort occupying its own peninsula at the southern tip of Cancun's hotel zone — water on three sides, and ceremony venues with both Caribbean and lagoon views. It's about 25 minutes from Cancun International Airport (CUN). The venue roster spans seven ceremony and reception spaces (16,000 sq ft of event space total), with the largest handling up to 250 guests. World of Hyatt members can earn and use points on the wedding stay, which is rare in the all-inclusive space, and the wedding specialists are certified by the South Asian Wedding Institute.
