About the Resort
UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya is an adults-only, culturally immersive all-inclusive resort that celebrates the art, cuisine, and traditions of its local surroundings. Every detail — from locally inspired spa treatments to artisan cocktails — is designed to connect guests with the Riviera Maya's soul. For weddings, UNICO offers a distinctive approach: celebrations that feel authentically rooted in place rather than generically tropical. The resort's refined aesthetic, exceptional dining, and personalized service create a sophisticated setting for couples seeking something beyond the ordinary.
Wedding Planning Notes
UNICO 20°87° is an adults-only AIC Group property on the Riviera Maya, roughly an hour and ten minutes from Cancun International Airport (CUN). The all-inclusive covers premium spirits, an in-room minibar, and no-upcharge dining across 5 restaurants. Despite its design-led, intimate feel, the venue inventory is large — outdoor beach, terrace, and gazebo spaces scaling from 80 up to 800 guests, plus an indoor ballroom that seats 840 — so this property handles big weddings, not just small ones. The wedding program runs on the room-night model (event hours per day scale with the room block) with a South Asian Wedding Package available.
