Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana
About the Resort
Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana is set within the exclusive Cap Cana resort community in the Dominican Republic, offering one of the most premium all-inclusive experiences in the Caribbean. The resort features Hyatt's signature four-event wedding package structure, with stunning venues that include a pristine white-sand beach and elegant indoor spaces. The property's contemporary design, world-class dining, and Zen Spa create a sophisticated atmosphere for mid-size celebrations. Both adults-only and family-friendly sections accommodate diverse wedding groups.
Wedding Planning Notes
Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana is a 375-room family-friendly resort in the upscale Cap Cana enclave of the Dominican Republic, about 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Sister property Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana is the adults-only counterpart on the same grounds, and couples planning multi-generational weddings often split bookings across the two. The standout for South Asian weddings: Indian cuisine is included in the South Asian Wedding Package here, rather than being a surcharge as at many resorts. The largest venue, the Larimar Event Lawn, handles up to 600 guests. World of Hyatt points apply.

Catering & Dietary
What this resort's kitchen actually handles
Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana runs 6 restaurants and 7 bars. Unusually for the all-inclusive space, Indian cuisine is included in the South Asian Wedding Package here — at many resorts it is a surcharge — which makes Cap Cana a strong-value pick for South Asian weddings. Confirm vegetarian, Jain, and halal menu details with the wedding desk, and arrange tastings on a pre-wedding site visit.
