Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana is the adults-only side of a two-resort complex on Juanillo Beach, inside the private, gated Cap Cana development about 20 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. Its 375 suites are reserved for guests 18 and older. The family-friendly Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana shares the same oceanfront grounds, and Zilara guests can walk over to use its restaurants, bars, and pools. Zilara’s own pools, lawns, and dining rooms stay adults only.
A Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana destination wedding can use six venues. On the Zilara side, the Beach Gazebo holds ceremonies for up to 120 guests. Waves Lawn and Santiago Lawn are adults-only garden spaces for cocktail hours and receptions of 110 and 40. The shared beach scales to 600 for a ceremony or a dinner on the sand, and the Ziva Beach Gazebo seats 150. The Santo Domingo Ballroom covers groups up to 500 indoors. One wedding team handles both properties.
10kWedding manages the room block at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana. We secure inventory, set group rates, and build a wedding website where guests book their suites before invitations go out. If some guests are bringing children, we can place them next door at Hyatt Ziva so the group stays together on one stretch of beach. We work with the resort’s coordinator throughout planning and stay reachable during the wedding week, at no cost to the couple.

Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana sits on Juanillo Beach inside the gated Cap Cana community, roughly 20 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. Most U.S. and Canadian wedding guests can fly into PUJ directly, and the transfer from the terminal to the lobby is a short, predictable drive.
The marina, the Punta Espada golf course, and Scape Park are all about 10 minutes from the resort, so guests who want a morning off property have options close by. Guests who prefer to stay put have two resorts’ worth of pools, restaurants, and beach without leaving the grounds.
Direct service from major U.S. and Canadian cities, which keeps connections to a minimum for guests flying in for the wedding.
Cenotes, zip lines, and a cliffside beach club inside Cap Cana — an easy half-day outing for a group the day before the ceremony.
A Jack Nicklaus Signature course laid out along the oceanfront cliffs. Book tee times early for a groom’s or wedding-party round.
Catamaran charters, sunset sails, and deep-sea fishing depart from the marina — a natural fit for a welcome-day group excursion.
Restaurants and shops for guests who want an evening in town between wedding events.
A stone village built in the style of the 16th-century Mediterranean, with an amphitheater, galleries, and views over the Chavón River.
Cap Cana is a private, gated development, so the roads, marina, golf course, and park around the resort all operate within one managed community. Guests can fill free days with excursions a few minutes from the lobby and be back in time for the evening event.
Zilara and Ziva share Juanillo Beach, a long stretch of soft sand in a protected setting with calm water most of the year. That steadiness helps when planning an outdoor ceremony and gives guests reliable beach days throughout the week.
The sister-resort setup also makes guest lists easier to manage. Adults can stay at Zilara, while relatives traveling with children book next door at Ziva — same beach, same wedding team, and a short walk between the two.
Your guests get an adults-only resort to themselves, plus everything at Hyatt Ziva next door. Meals, drinks, and most daytime activities are part of the stay, so the week between wedding events takes very little planning.
Twelve restaurants and bars on the Zilara side are included, from a French-Polynesian dining room to an Indian restaurant set in a replica rail car. Zilara guests can also eat and drink at Hyatt Ziva, which roughly doubles the choices across a week-long stay.
Zilara’s pools and swim-up bars are reserved for guests 18 and older. Swim-up suites open directly into semi-private pools, and Club Level guests have a separate pool with food service.
The resort fronts a wide, palm-lined beach with soft white sand and calm water. Guests can spend the morning on loungers, then walk a few steps to the same sand where the ceremony takes place.
A cenote-inspired spa with a hydrotherapy circuit, a salt room, and an outdoor lagoon, shared by both resorts. Lavish & Opulent and Luxury packages include spa discounts for the couple and their guests, which makes it a popular stop the day before the wedding.
Live music and shows run in the evenings across both properties. On nights without a wedding event, guests have somewhere to gather after dinner without arranging anything.
Non-motorized water sports are part of the all-inclusive rate. Motorized activities and scuba diving are available for an extra charge, and the Cap Cana Marina adds charters and catamaran sails.
The Jack Nicklaus Signature Punta Espada course is about 10 minutes away, routed along the ocean cliffs inside Cap Cana. Book tee times early for groups.
Club suites add private check-in, a dedicated lounge, premium liquors, concierge service, and à la carte breakfast and lunch for Club guests. It works well for the couple, parents, and wedding party.
Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana is an all-suite, adults-only resort with 375 suites in 20 categories, with king and double-bed layouts listed separately. Junior suites run 600 square feet.

Zilara’s restaurants are reserved for adults and included in the all-inclusive rate. Guests can also eat at any Hyatt Ziva restaurant or bar, so the week offers far more choice than these five.
Zilara’s all-day buffet, with fresh international dishes at every meal. It’s the easiest place for a big table of wedding guests to sit down together without a reservation.
French technique with island flavors, served in a dining room ringed by black-bottom pools. The dress code is casual formal, so it suits a dressed-up night out before or after the wedding.
Indian cuisine served inside a replica of a luxury rail car, complete with compartment-style seating. Guests tend to talk about this dinner long after the trip.
Ceviche, grilled seafood, and Caribbean plates served steps from the sand. A relaxed choice after a day on Juanillo Beach.
A poolside grill built around charcoal and wood smoke, serving steaks and grilled mains. A good fit for a groomsmen’s dinner or a low-key welcome night.
Booking your Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana destination wedding through 10kWedding gives you a team that works only on destination weddings. We know how room blocks run at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana: how inventory is held, which suite category qualifies for the complimentary wedding package, and what the coordinator needs at each stage of planning. Because Zilara is adults only, we also help couples decide where guests with children should stay and which venues work for the full guest list.
We lock in your room block before invitations go out. That protects inventory at set rates and gives guests a dedicated website where they can book a suite, see the event schedule, and find travel details without calling you. We stay reachable throughout planning and during the wedding week, directly rather than through a call center.
We combine the efficiency of a modern group booking platform with the personal expertise of specialists who understand how destination wedding resorts work — from contract terms to coordinator relationships to what actually matters on wedding day.
Our planning services are 100% free to couples.
Simple, transparent room rates. Easy payment terms. That is the 10kWedding commitment.
