A Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta destination wedding puts you on a secluded stretch of Banderas Bay — Mexico’s largest bay — where the Sierra Madre mountains rise directly behind the resort and the Pacific stretches out in front of every venue. This is not a manufactured beach corridor; it is a genuinely dramatic piece of geography, and the property is designed to make the most of every angle of it.
Seven distinct venues cover the full range: from Pureza Beach, the resort’s largest oceanfront ceremony space at 200 guests, to the intimate Gazebo perched at the water’s edge, to an elevated Sky Penthouse Terrace that delivers panoramic bay views from the resort’s upper floors. The Ballroom completes the lineup with full air conditioning and 150-person capacity for rain-proof receptions that don’t compromise on scale.
335 suites, seven restaurants, a world-class spa, and a dedicated wedding team certified by the South Asian Wedding Institute make Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta the standout choice for couples planning a destination wedding on Mexico’s Pacific coast. 10kWedding knows this property in detail and will negotiate your room block, manage your guest list, and be your direct line to the resort throughout the entire planning process.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta sits on a private stretch of Banderas Bay — Mexico’s largest bay — about 45 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta International Airport in the direction of the Riviera Nayarit. The Sierra Madre mountains rise immediately behind the property, creating the dramatic backdrop visible from every outdoor venue.
The resort is within easy reach of Puerto Vallarta’s charming Zona Romántica and Malecón boardwalk, and the marina town of Nuevo Vallarta is nearby for guests who want extra excursion options. The area’s combination of natural beauty, warm Pacific water, and a genuine local town makes it a destination in its own right — not just a place to stay.
Private transfers and shared shuttle options are available for groups arriving at Puerto Vallarta International Airport.
Puerto Vallarta’s most characterful neighborhood — cobblestone streets, art galleries, local restaurants, and the famous Malecón boardwalk.
Full-service marina, upscale restaurants, a golf course, and a vibrant shopping promenade — a popular half-day outing for wedding guests.
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with a hidden beach inside a volcanic crater — one of the Pacific coast’s most distinctive boat excursions.
A colorful surf town along the Riviera Nayarit — known for its street food, artisan shops, and laid-back Pacific atmosphere.
Zip-line adventures, ATV tours, and Sierra Madre hiking excursions depart from staging areas a short drive from the resort.
Puerto Vallarta has built a genuine identity as a wedding destination over decades — not just for its beaches, but for its combination of Old World Mexican charm and world-class resort infrastructure. The area delivers on both: couples get dramatic Pacific sunsets and mountainous jungle scenery, while guests get reliable flights from across the U.S. and Canada and a resort experience that doesn’t require compromise.
Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta sits at the edge of this geography — close enough to the city and marina for easy excursions, far enough down the Jalisco coast for genuine seclusion at the resort itself. Banderas Bay frames every outdoor ceremony, and the mountains frame the backdrop. There is no manufactured scenery here; the drama is real and present in every photo from every venue.
For couples prioritizing a Pacific coast setting with a recognizable name brand, direct flights from most major U.S. gateway cities, and strong group infrastructure — Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta is the clear anchor for a destination wedding week on the Pacific.
Everything your Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta destination wedding guests need for a full week of Pacific coast vacation — all included in the all-inclusive rate.
A full lineup of à la carte and specialty dining options spanning international, Mexican, Asian, and Italian cuisines — all included. Private dining rooms are available for pre-wedding events and rehearsal dinners.

Direct Banderas Bay beach access with clear Pacific water, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling, and introductory scuba lessons. Guided tours to Islas Marietas and deep-sea fishing charters can be arranged through the concierge.
Supervised kids’ clubs with age-appropriate daily programming keep younger guests engaged throughout the week, giving parents genuine vacation time. Teen activity areas and family-focused excursions round out the multigenerational experience.
Live music, themed shows, beach bonfires, and cultural performances keep the resort energized after dinner. The entertainment calendar runs every evening and provides natural gathering points for the wedding group.
Fully equipped fitness center with cardio machines, free weights, and group fitness classes. Outdoor yoga sessions and morning beach walks can be arranged for wedding groups through the activities desk.
All 335 suites at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta include private balconies or terraces, modern furnishings, and full all-inclusive access. Standard categories range from garden-view rooms to oceanfront and swim-up configurations; Preferred Club rooms add lounge access, personalized concierge service, and elevated in-room amenities.
Well-appointed standard room with a king bed and private balcony — a comfortable base for guests focused on the wedding week rather than a room upgrade.
Standard room with double beds — the practical choice for families traveling together or guests sharing a room for the wedding week.
Banderas Bay views from a private balcony, available in both king and double bed configurations — a popular upgrade for wedding guests who want the scenery without the oceanfront premium.
Positioned directly facing Banderas Bay with unobstructed water views from the balcony — natural light and the sound of the Pacific throughout the stay.
A generously sized balcony with open ocean sightlines — ideal for guests who plan to use their outdoor space as much as the beach itself.
Ground-floor room with step-out access to a dedicated swim-up pool — one of the most requested upgrades for wedding guests who want pool time without the walk.
Suite-level accommodations with Preferred Club Lounge access, private concierge service, continental breakfast, and evening cocktails — a strong choice for parents and VIP guests in the wedding party.

Italian classics and international favorites in a comfortable indoor-outdoor setting. A reliable choice for wedding guests with varied tastes who want a familiar, well-executed dining experience.
Pan-Asian cuisine featuring sushi, noodle dishes, and live Teppanyaki tables — an interactive experience well-suited to group dinners where the cooking itself becomes part of the evening.
The resort’s main international buffet covers every meal category, from fresh breakfast stations to an expansive dinner spread. Open early enough to fuel a full day’s activities for every guest in your group.
Casual beachside grilling throughout the day — burgers, grilled fish, tacos, and cold drinks served steps from the sand. The natural gathering spot between morning beach ceremonies and afternoon excursions.
Specialty coffee, fresh-baked pastries, and light snacks available from early morning through the afternoon — the social center of the resort before the day’s activities get started.
The resort’s signature beach bar keeps the all-inclusive drinks flowing directly on Banderas Bay — a natural destination for the wedding group between ceremony and sunset cocktail hour.
Restaurant names, cuisine types, and dining descriptions are for informational purposes only and subject to change without notice. The resort may add, remove, or modify dining concepts, hours, and reservation policies at any time.
