Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos — All-Inclusive Destination Weddings 2026
San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico · 4.5-Star · Family-Friendly · 607 Rooms · 38,000+ sq ft Event Space · Sea of Cortez
Resort Overview
Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos sits in the quieter San José del Cabo corridor — minutes from downtown San José and its renowned art district, and a scenic 30-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas. The resort has 607 all-suite rooms, 38,000+ sq ft of event space, 8 restaurants, 8 bars and lounges, a two-story spa, a Kidz Club with water park and treehouse, and a Teens Club. South Asian wedding specialists are on staff. Four packages from an elopement to 40+ guests — including a complimentary option with qualifying room block.
Desert Meets Sea Setting
The only major all-inclusive wedding resort where the Baja desert mountains frame the Sea of Cortez behind the ceremony. Dramatically different from the jungle-and-Caribbean aesthetic of Mexico's east coast. Spectacular for sunset ceremonies.
Half-Mile White Sand Beach
Three distinct named beach sections — Central Beach (up to 1,500 guests, largest in Los Cabos), Zaffiro Beach (250 guests), and Cortez Beach — give couples genuine venue choice along the water without leaving the resort.
South Asian Wedding Specialists
On-staff South Asian wedding specialists make Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos one of the few Los Cabos all-inclusives with dedicated coordination for Indian, Hindu, and South Asian multi-event weddings. Mandap setup and South Asian cuisine available.
Complimentary Package Available
Two complimentary options: Just for the Two of You (free with 7+ night qualifying stay, Mon–Wed) and Intimate Elegance (free with 25+ room nights in qualifying categories). One of few Hyatt properties offering two different complimentary tiers.
Kidz Club + Teens Club
Kidz Club with water park, treehouse, and supervised activities. Dedicated Teens Club for older guests. Genuinely useful for wedding groups with families — kids have structured programming while parents enjoy the ceremony and reception.
Golf + Adventure Access
Championship golf courses nearby (packages available). Deep-sea fishing, ATV desert excursions, whale watching (Dec–Apr), glass-bottomed boat tours, camelback riding on the beach. Wedding group excursion options unlike any Riviera Maya resort.
Wedding Venues 38,000+ sq ft · Up to 1,500 Guests
Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos has more combined event space than any other Hyatt Ziva property — 38,000+ sq ft across beach venues, gazebo, lagoon, ballroom, and pool settings. The Central Beach alone holds up to 1,500 guests for a ceremony.
Beach Venues
Central Beach (Largest)
1,500 ceremony · Sea of Cortez backdropThe resort's primary beach stretch and the largest ceremony venue in Los Cabos all-inclusives. The full expanse of the half-mile beach against the Sea of Cortez and Baja mountains creates an unmatched visual. Best for large weddings of 100+ guests wanting an open-air beach ceremony at scale.
Zaffiro Beach
250 ceremony · 250 cocktail · 250 receptionThe most popular beach venue for mid-size weddings — matching 250-guest capacity across ceremony, cocktail, and reception means the full event can happen in one setting without moving. Incredible Sea of Cortez views. Most frequently requested beach venue for groups of 50–200.
Cortez Beach
Ceremony + cocktail + reception · Sea of CortezA more intimate stretch of beach with the Sea of Cortez as the backdrop — slightly smaller in scale than Zaffiro, with a more enclosed, private feel. Excellent for mid-size ceremonies wanting a sense of seclusion on the water.
Gazebo & Garden Venues
Wedding Gazebo (Most Iconic)
150 ceremony · oceanfront · palm tree surroundThe resort's signature ceremony structure — a white oceanfront gazebo surrounded by lush palm trees with the Sea of Cortez behind. Maximum 150 guests. The most photographed venue at the property and the most requested ceremony location for intimate to mid-size weddings. Elegant, classic, and intimate in feel despite the ocean scale behind it.
Lagoon Area
Cocktail + reception · fire pits · gardenA lush garden-framed lagoon setting with fire pits — the most distinctive non-beach venue at the property. Ideal for welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, and cocktail receptions with an organic, romantic ambiance. Venue fee of $2,500 applies. 150-guest ceremony minimum required.
$2,500 venue fee · 150-guest minimumIndoor & Pool Venues
Grand Peninsula Ballroom
Indoor · largest reception space · full AVThe resort's primary indoor event space — air-conditioned, fully customizable décor with rattan lounge seating and a neutral palette. Full AV capabilities and complete catering setup. Best for large evening receptions where dancing is the priority and the outdoor weather is a concern. Can accommodate the largest guest lists of any indoor venue at the property.
Arcos Jr Ballrooms
Indoor · flexible breakout optionSmaller indoor ballroom spaces ideal for rehearsal dinners, welcome cocktail parties, morning-after brunches, or breakout events during a multi-day wedding week. Flexible layout and smaller scale make these better suited for groups of 30–80.
Adults-Only Pool
Intimate cocktail + dinner · exclusiveThe resort's dedicated adults-only pool area — a sophisticated, quieter setting for an exclusive cocktail hour or intimate dinner for a smaller guest subset. Popular for the couple's welcome dinner with VIP guests when the main group is larger.
