Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta — All-Inclusive Destination Weddings 2026
Mismaloya Beach, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico · 5-Star · Family-Friendly · 335 Suites · Private Cove · 20 Min from PVR Airport
Resort Overview
The resort has 335 all-suite rooms, all with full Pacific Ocean views. Five infinity pools including an adults-only swim-up pool with private plunge pools. Five restaurants and five bars. Over 26,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor event space with a beach that holds 500 guests, a ballroom divisible into three rooms for 600, and a newly renovated Sky Penthouse Terrace with panoramic Pacific views. South Asian wedding specialists are SA-certified and on staff. Whale watching is available from the resort December through April — one of the most extraordinary wedding week experiences available at any all-inclusive in Mexico. The resort is 20 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport and a 30-minute drive from the Malecón and downtown.
Private Pacific Cove
The resort sits in a protected cove on Mismaloya Beach — the most famous stretch of Pacific coastline in Puerto Vallarta. Calm, swimmable water, surrounding jungle mountains, and the dramatic Pacific horizon create a setting impossible to replicate anywhere on Mexico's Caribbean coast.
5 Infinity Pools Cascading to the Pacific
Five infinity pools at different levels of the resort all designed to look as if they flow into the Pacific Ocean below. The adults-only swim-up pool has private plunge pools in select suites — a genuinely distinctive amenity for the wedding couple's accommodations.
Sky Penthouse Terrace — Panoramic Pacific Views
The newly renovated Sky Penthouse Terrace holds 100 guests with panoramic Pacific views in every direction — arguably the most dramatic elevated wedding venue of any Hyatt Ziva property. Ideal for intimate receptions and cocktail hours where the view is the centerpiece.
Whale Watching Dec–Apr — From the Resort
Humpback and gray whales migrate through the Bay of Banderas December through April. Whale watching tours depart directly from or near the resort. For winter wedding groups, seeing whales breach from the beach or on a private boat tour is an extraordinary experience unique to this Pacific destination.
SA-Certified South Asian Specialists
Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta's wedding team includes SA-certified coordinators — formally trained in South Asian multi-event wedding coordination. One of the Pacific coast's few all-inclusives with this certification. Mandap setup, South Asian cuisine, and multi-event Sangeet/Mehndi/Baraat coordination available.
Puerto Vallarta Excursion Portfolio
30 minutes from the famous Malecón boardwalk and Old Town Puerto Vallarta. ATV jungle excursions to Mismaloya Bay Jungle, canopy zip-lining, Sierra Madre mountain tours, sailing at sunset on the Bay of Banderas, deep-sea fishing, and swimming with dolphins. An extraordinary excursion menu for wedding week.

Beach & Oceanfront Venues
Mismaloya Beach (Largest · Most Dramatic)
500 guests · 650 sq m · Pacific sunset backdropThe resort's private beach on the protected cove — framed by Pacific Ocean and jungle-covered mountains. The most dramatic ceremony and reception setting at the property. Awe-inspiring Pacific sunsets directly behind the arch make for extraordinary ceremony photography. For large groups of 100–500 guests wanting an open-air Pacific beach event, this is the standout venue.
Oceanfront Gazebo (Most Iconic)
Intimate ceremony · Pacific Ocean viewsThe resort's classic oceanfront ceremony structure with the Pacific as the backdrop — the most photographed venue at the property and the most requested ceremony location for intimate to mid-size weddings. Maximum guest count smaller than the beach; best for couples wanting a classic, intimate gazebo atmosphere with the full Pacific drama behind it.
Elevated & Terrace Venues
Sky Penthouse Terrace (Newly Renovated)
100 guests · panoramic Pacific views · intimateNewly renovated elevated terrace with 360-degree Pacific Ocean and jungle mountain views — the most dramatic elevated venue of any Hyatt Ziva property.

Best for groups of 20–100 wanting something genuinely spectacular and private above the resort.
Palmas Terrace

Divisible into three separate function rooms for smaller events. Full AV capabilities. The best option for large indoor receptions (100–400 guests for banquet) and any weather contingency. The Mexican décor makes it more atmospheric than a typical neutral ballroom.
