A spirit of tranquility and easy elegance envelops guests at El Careyes Beach Resort on Mexico’s sunny Costa Careyes. Tucked away on a secluded cove framed by azure seas and subtropical rainforest, the resort has served as a hideaway for discerning travelers for more than three decades.

The splendor of Costa Careyes’ nature is as much a draw as the beautiful, 70- acre property itself, which, with its rich terracotta tones, blends beautifully with the surrounding palette of deep blues and greens. Housing 51 lavishly appointed rooms, suites and casitas, the resort resembles a Mediterranean village and remains true to local architecture with brightly colored, red-tile-roof haciendas ensconced in gardens of bougainvillea, palm and citrus. The Pacific offers a sparkling backdrop.

The resort’s event and catering team are experts at planning an unforgettable seaside ceremony, with a reception following outdoors or at La Lantana restaurant, known for its regionally inspired cuisine. From the minister to the flowers and music, all details are seen to so that couples can relax and enjoy each other and their guests. Pre wedding pampering is encouraged at The Spa at El Careyes, where sumptuous treatments ensure a stress-free celebration.
