The Best Places to Elope on Isla Mujeres
Playa Norte's turquoise shallows, the dramatic cliffs of Punta Sur, and the hidden coves between. A slender Caribbean island a twenty-minute ferry from Cancun.
Couples default to Cancun or the Riviera Maya for a Caribbean elopement.
A twenty-minute ferry away is the island that was made for small ceremonies.
Isla Mujeres gives you the turquoise of the Riviera Maya at a personal scale, easy to reach and quietly exclusive. You hop the whole island by golf cart.

Playa Norte, at the northern tip, is ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean: powder-white sand and calm, shallow, luminous turquoise you can wade into forever. Its west-facing aspect gives the longest golden hour in the whole Cancun area.
Playa Norte and Punta Sur
Playa Norte, at the northern tip, is ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean: powder-white sand and calm, shallow, luminous turquoise you can wade into forever. Its west-facing aspect gives the longest golden hour in the whole Cancun area.
Punta Sur, at the southern tip, is the dramatic counterpoint: limestone cliffs over the open Caribbean, a sculpture garden, a lighthouse, and the ruins of a Maya temple to Ixchel, goddess of love. The easternmost point of Mexico, where the sun first rises.
The hidden coves
Between the two ends, rocky coves and small hidden beaches give sheltered, intimate settings away from any crowd, reachable in minutes by cart.
The right place depends on what the photographs need to hold. As your Elopement Curator I plan the day, arrange the beach permission and vendors, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, Isla Mujeres gives the Caribbean at the scale an elopement actually wants.
