Color, Personality, and a Popsicle Welcome
From the moment you arrive, Andaz Mayakoba wraps you in warmth - figuratively and literally. A tray of colorful paleta-style popsicles welcomes you into the resort, setting the tone for an experience full of hospitality and heart. The resort’s design leans heavily into vibrant color palettes, bold patterns, and hand-painted murals that give the entire property a creative, curated feel. Every corner offers something new to discover, and it’s easy to see why this location makes such a joyful canvas for a wedding. The visual charm of the property adds a lighthearted energy, ideal for couples who want their wedding weekend to feel both elevated and approachable.
Versatile Spaces for Every Moment
One of our favorite things about this venue? The variety. Andaz Mayakoba offers flexible indoor and outdoor spaces that work beautifully across your wedding weekend. Host a welcome party by one of the chic, lagoon-side pools, or enjoy a family-style welcome dinner under the stars at one of their open-air restaurants. The beachfront ceremony location is especially unforgettable. With the turquoise Caribbean Sea as your backdrop and a gentle ocean breeze running through your vows, it’s the kind of setting that doesn’t need a lot of extras to feel grand. Spacious and serene, it’s perfect for a heartfelt ceremony that allows your guests to be fully present in the moment.
A Wedding That Feels Like a Vacation for Everyone
We love when a wedding weekend doubles as a vacation for guests - and Andaz Mayakoba makes that effortless. This resort is wonderfully family-friendly without feeling overly casual. Little ones can enjoy the resort’s dedicated kids’ club and pool areas, while adults relax at the spa, explore nature trails, or sip cocktails by the water. For couples hosting a multigenerational guest list, this kind of built-in ease is invaluable. Everyone - from toddlers to grandparents—feels thought of, welcomed, and entertained.
Intimate Dining with a Design-Forward Twist
When it comes to dining, Andaz Mayakoba offers more than just great food - it offers great design. One standout is Tía Coco, a whimsical, tree-centered space that makes for a magical rehearsal dinner location. The circular structure is built around a massive tree trunk, giving the space a sense of intimacy, history, and charm. It’s the kind of dining experience guests will remember - not just because the food is exceptional, but because the ambiance feels so special. Think candlelight, laughter, and heartfelt toasts under the canopy of a living tree. It’s a poetic setting for pre-wedding celebrations.
A Destination Wedding with Soul
Andaz Mayakoba is more than just a pretty place - it’s a place that feels alive. With its saturated color palette, artistic touches, and thoughtful amenities, it offers a destination wedding experience that balances luxury with play. For couples who value hospitality, family, and joyful celebration, this Riviera Maya gem delivers on all fronts. It’s a resort that invites you to celebrate boldly, laugh loudly, and soak in every unforgettable moment. And for us? That’s exactly what a House of Joy wedding should be.
