AVA Resort Cancun destination wedding specialists at 10kWedding.
An AVA Resort Cancun destination wedding gives your group access to one of the Mexican Caribbean’s most ambitious all-inclusive properties — 1,614 all-oceanfront rooms spread across a sweeping curved tower on Cancun’s Hotel Zone, with every single room facing the turquoise water. The AVA Bay, powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology, anchors the property with 2.7 acres of naturally glowing saltwater that your guests can enjoy between events.
What sets AVA apart for weddings is the sheer range of venues — 13 distinct spaces across the property, from intimate 20-person terraces to the sprawling AVA Terrace that handles up to 400 guests for a ceremony and 1,000 for a cocktail event. Outdoor venues operate under a 10:00 PM curfew; indoor Convention Center spaces offer greater flexibility for later receptions. Nearly every terrace faces the Caribbean directly.
Nine fine-dining restaurants, six pools, a 60,000-square-foot spa, bowling, laser tag, an escape room, and two dedicated kids and teen clubs mean your guests are genuinely occupied for an entire week. 10kWedding will manage your room block, negotiate on your group’s behalf, and coordinate everything from arrival to departure — at no cost to you.

AVA Resort Cancun sits at kilometer 25.3 on the Hotel Zone boulevard — one of the most direct airport connections of any major Cancun resort. From Cancun International Airport, your guests are at the resort in roughly 10 minutes. No ferry, no long transfers, no lost time at the start of a trip everyone has been looking forward to.
The Hotel Zone location also places the resort within striking distance of everything the Yucatan has to offer: the eco-parks, cenotes, ancient ruins, and Caribbean islands that make this one of the most activity-rich destinations in the Americas. Day trips to Xcaret, Xel-Há, Chichén Itzá, and Isla Mujeres are all practical from AVA’s front door.
One of the shortest airport-to-resort transfers on the Hotel Zone. Your guests arrive and relax immediately.
Local markets, restaurants, and neighborhoods — a short ride from the Hotel Zone for guests who want to explore.
A relaxed car-free island a short ferry ride away — golf carts, Caribbean beaches, and a genuinely different pace for a guest day trip.
The Riviera Maya’s most walkable town — 5th Avenue shopping, restaurants, cenotes nearby, and a jumping-off point for Cozumel ferries.
Eco-archaeology parks, underground rivers, and natural swimming — a natural group day trip for adventurous guests.
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World — an iconic day excursion for guests who want something beyond the beach.
AVA’s position at km 25.3 keeps your group close to the airport while still placing them on one of the Caribbean’s most recognizable stretches of beach. The Hotel Zone’s infrastructure — reliable taxis, organized shuttle routes, and easy navigation — means your guests can move freely and confidently throughout their stay.
The Crystal Lagoons-powered AVA Bay adds something unusual: a 2.7-acre natural saltwater expanse right on property, illuminated at night, that gives your group a resort-within-a-resort feel without ever needing to leave. Guests with less appetite for day trips have no shortage of reasons to stay.
For wedding groups flying in from across North America, the Cancun Hotel Zone offers some of the most competitive airfare and the most direct routing of any Mexican Caribbean destination.
All-inclusive at AVA means 9 fine-dining restaurants, 6 pools, a 60,000-square-foot spa, live theater, bowling, and more — all without wristbands or gratuity.

AVA KIDS club (ages 4–11) with a dedicated space, movie theater, beauty salon, trampolines, and daily themed activities. The Lounge (ages 12–17) offers basketball, ping pong, AR gaming, foosball, pool table, and a snack bar — no parents allowed.
FIIT Fitness Center spans 11,000 square feet over two floors with individual and group fitness, yoga, pilates, and spin classes. Five pickleball courts and two padel courts on property.
High-end boutiques, local souvenir shops, and convenience stores right on the property — everything your guests need without leaving the resort, from beach essentials to gifts to bring home.

All restaurants are included in the all-inclusive rate. AVA’s dining program was designed as destination-restaurant quality — not resort afterthoughts.
Open-fire grilling with premium cuts, fresh seafood, and a menu built around the smoky discipline of live-fire cooking. AVA’s go-to for the classic steakhouse experience.
Contemporary Mexican cooking anchored in regional technique — moles, ceviches, and slow-cooked preparations that go well beyond resort-standard Mexican fare.
Pan-Asian cooking in an adults-only setting with a focus on dim sum, noodles, and bold regional flavors. A quieter, more intimate dining experience within the larger property.
Bright Mediterranean flavors — fresh fish, grilled vegetables, hummus, and pastas drawing from the Spanish and Greek traditions. Light, seasonal, and consistently well-executed.
Classic Italian pastas, risottos, and antipasti served in a comfortable setting. A reliable anchor restaurant for groups with traditional tastes and for early-night dinners before events.

Casual dining includes the Food District international market, Plaza MX Mexican market, Copal Tacos, Aroma café and bakery, Dez Day Club, and Bayside Café. All included with your all-inclusive rate.
