5 Reasons to Get Married in Huatulco
1. More affordable than any other Mexican destination
Brides & Grooms that we’ve interviewed have shared the fact that their research proved Huatulco to be almost half the cost of most other Mexican wedding destinations (when renting private villa accommodations). With all-inclusive wedding packages in private luxurious accommodations starting at less than $800 per person/week…Huatulco definitely offers more for less!
2. Huatulco offers a higher eco-tourism rating than Costa Rica
It is a little known fact that this southern-most destination in Mexico boasts the prize of being a global leader in eco-tourism. With the majority of the area’s acres held as ecological reserves, the Mexican government’s group FONATUR has maintained an ecologically unique tourist development in Huatulco. The strict development guidelines have dictated that all hotels and private structures be limited to six stories in height. This guideline has ensured the sustainability of the beautiful Oaxacan coastline! The developed bays offer beautiful coastline – a perfect backdrop for a destination wedding! Even more unique and stunning are the undeveloped bays, which can be reached by boat in about 15-20 minutes from the main marinas. These bays present the gateway to Eden…crystal waters, rolling sand dunes, untouched jungle backdrop – and not a soul in site! You can spend the day in your own private paradise with just a bathing suit, a picnic lunch and a cooler of some cold beverages of choice. For many travelers, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
3. Guaranteed sunshine for the high season (November through April)
Huatulco’s average water temperatures are 28ºC /82.4 degrees Fahrenheit. In the high season (or dry season), you can be assured that not a drop of rain will hit the ground for a good six-months. So, there’s no hoping for the perfect day for a wedding in Huatulco because they are all perfect. It is rare to even see a cloud in the sky!
4. Paradise without the crowds
Hailed by Conde Nast Magazine as a place where “Surfing, ecotourism, hippie chic, and luxe family resorts all coexist—and, blessedly, without any crowds.” And by the New York Times as “The Anti-Cancun”…
Huatulco is still somewhat of an undiscovered paradise in the world of tourism. Because of this beautiful fact, travelers still get a real taste of mexican culture and flair in this region of the country. While still offering the markets and the central square full of little jewelery and pottery shops, Huatulco will spare you from American fast food chains and cheesy tourist traps! This is a destination that truly allows you to experience Mexico’s ecological beauty and cultural delights.
5. It’s the vacation destination of choice for Mexicans…what else do you need to know?
The Mexican tourists in Huatulco outnumber American/Canadian tourists 10 to 1. Coming from all over Mexico to enjoy the country’s best features, Mexican travelers are abundant in Huatulco. The best stamp of approval you could get on this region is the fact that residents of Mexico City are coming in to host their weddings in Huatulco. Afterall, who knows the country better than those who were born and raised there?
