Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana sits inside the gated Cap Cana community — a master-planned private development 25 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. The property anchors one of the widest, most sheltered stretches of beach in the Dominican Republic, positioned alongside a full-service marina, the Punta Espada Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and Scape Park’s cenotes and adventure circuits. For wedding groups, that means a full week of excursion options within a short radius of the resort.
A Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana destination wedding draws on seven venues spread across both the family-friendly Ziva and the adults-only Zilara side of the combined property. The beach hosts up to 600 guests. Two dedicated oceanfront gazebos handle ceremony groups up to 120 and 150. The Rooftop Terrace delivers ceremony and reception space with open Caribbean views. The Santo Domingo Ballroom provides a fully air-conditioned indoor option for any group size up to 500. The shared wedding team coordinates events across both properties from a single point of contact.
10kWedding manages the room block at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana — securing inventory, organizing rates, and building a dedicated wedding website for your guests before invitations go out. We work alongside the resort’s coordinator throughout the planning timeline and stay reachable during the wedding week. There is no fee to couples for this service.

All packages include a professional on-site wedding coordinator. Packages are available Monday through Wednesday at any price tier. Thursday through Sunday bookings require an upgraded package selection.

Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana sits inside the gated Cap Cana private community, roughly 25 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. The airport serves direct flights from dozens of U.S. and Canadian cities, making arrival logistics straightforward for most wedding groups. Once guests land and clear customs, the transfer to the resort is short and consistent — no unpredictable highway traffic, no extended drive through town.
Cap Cana itself offers a self-contained environment with a full-service marina, the Punta Espada golf course, and Scape Park — a natural attraction anchored by cenotes, zip lines, and a beach club — all within five minutes of the resort. Guests who want to explore have concrete options nearby. Guests who want to stay on property have everything they need without leaving the grounds.
Direct flights from major U.S. cities, Canada, and Europe. One of the most connected Caribbean airports for North American guests.
Cenotes, zip lines, natural pools, and a beach club inside the Cap Cana community. A full day of excursion options without leaving the area.
Jack Nicklaus Signature course built along oceanfront cliffs. Ranked among the top courses in the Caribbean — a popular wedding-week activity for guests.
Full-service marina within the Cap Cana community — deep-sea fishing charters, sunset cruises, and catamaran excursions are bookable directly.
Restaurants, shopping, and the Punta Cana Cultural Plaza for guests who want a local evening out beyond the resort.
A recreated 16th-century Mediterranean village perched above the Chavón River — amphitheater, galleries, and restaurants with one of the most dramatic views in the Caribbean.
Cap Cana is a gated community, which means the infrastructure around the resort is controlled. Roads are clean, the marina is operational, and Scape Park runs as a consistent operation. Guests don’t need to navigate crowded tourist areas to find something worth doing — the excursion options inside Cap Cana alone fill a week without replication.
The beach at Hyatt Ziva is Juanillo Beach — a protected cove with calm water and consistent conditions, which matters for outdoor ceremonies and for guests who want predictable beach days. The resort’s position in Cap Cana also means it’s shielded from the more commercialized stretches of coast, so the surrounding atmosphere stays consistent with the property’s tone.
Punta Cana International Airport’s direct flight connectivity is one of the strongest in the Caribbean. American, Delta, JetBlue, United, Air Canada, and WestJet all operate direct routes, which means fewer connection points for guests arriving from across the U.S. and Canada — a real logistical advantage for large wedding groups.
All-inclusive means no wristband juggling and no tabs at the end of the night. Everything your Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana destination wedding guests need for a full week is built into their stay.
Multiple à la carte restaurants and a main buffet give guests options across international, Mexican, Caribbean, seafood, and Asian cuisines. Specialty dining carries no reservation fee; the all-inclusive rate covers every meal, every bar, and every snack station on property.
Several pool areas including dedicated adults-only access through the Zilara side and family-friendly pools on the Ziva side. Juanillo Beach — a protected cove at the base of the property — offers calm water and consistent conditions throughout the week.
A comprehensive spa menu covers massages, facials, body wraps, hydrotherapy, and couples treatments. Wedding packages include spa services and discounts for both the couple and their guests — the spa is consistently one of the most-used amenities during wedding weeks.
Supervised programming for children lets parents relax without worrying about what the younger guests are doing. Activities are structured throughout the day, giving kids their own version of the wedding week while adults enjoy the resort on their own terms.
A full entertainment calendar runs each evening — live music, themed shows, and poolside events. The resort’s entertainment team coordinates activities throughout the day as well, which keeps the energy up for groups who want more than beach time between wedding events.
Non-motorized water sports are included in the all-inclusive rate — kayaking, paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, and beach volleyball. The Cap Cana Marina, minutes from the resort, adds motorized options: deep-sea fishing, catamaran excursions, and sunset cruises bookable separately.
The Jack Nicklaus Signature Punta Espada course — built along oceanfront cliffs inside Cap Cana — is five minutes from the resort. Ranked among the top courses in the Caribbean, it’s a natural wedding-week activity for guests who play and worth booking in advance during peak season.
Guests staying at Hyatt Ziva can access select amenities at the adjacent adults-only Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana. The Zilara’s pools, restaurants, and beach areas extend the available experience for guests traveling without children — a genuine advantage of the combined property.
Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana is an all-suite resort — every room category is a suite.

All restaurants and bars are included in the all-inclusive rate. No reservations are required at most dining options — guests eat where they want, when they want, throughout their stay.
The resort’s central buffet serves three meals daily with an international spread, live cooking stations, and rotating regional specialties. The most versatile option for large groups with mixed tastes, with seating that accommodates big tables without prior arrangement.

Booking your Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana destination wedding through 10kWedding is not the same as booking direct or through a general travel agent. We specialize exclusively in destination weddings. We know how the room block process works at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana specifically — how inventory gets allocated, which room categories qualify for the complimentary wedding package, and what your coordinator needs at each stage of the planning timeline.
We lock in your room block before invitations go out. That means protected inventory at set rates, upgrade eligibility established early, and a dedicated group website where guests can book their room, see event details, and get travel information without calling you. During the planning process and during your wedding week, we stay reachable — directly, not 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.
