At Areia Isla Mujeres, we believe unforgettable weddings are not built around a single moment—they’re designed as a complete experience. One that unfolds naturally over time, shaped by the destination, the people and the rhythm of the island.
That’s why many couples choose to celebrate their wedding at Areia while turning their stay at Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres into an essential part of the journey. Together, the venue and the accommodation allow weddings to feel immersive, social and effortlessly connected.
This is how we approach designing wedding weekends that guests truly remember.
We Think Beyond the Wedding Day
When a wedding takes place at Areia Isla Mujeres, the celebration doesn’t start with the ceremony—it begins the moment guests arrive on the island.
From our experience, the most meaningful weddings are those that allow time for:
- Guests to arrive, settle in and connect
- Moments before the ceremony to unfold naturally
- A celebration that doesn’t feel rushed or confined to a schedule
By designing the wedding as a weekend experience, couples give their guests the space to truly live the destination.

Where Guests Stay Becomes Part of the Celebration
One of the key elements we always recommend is choosing accommodation that supports connection.
With Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres, guests stay close, share common spaces and move together throughout the weekend. This naturally creates a sense of community that carries into the wedding day itself—especially when the main celebration takes place at Areia.
From welcome moments to post-wedding gatherings, accommodation becomes an extension of the celebration, not just a place to sleep.
We Design Experiences, Not Just Events
At Areia Isla Mujeres, weddings are designed to flow—from ceremony to cocktail hour, from sunset to nightfall.
We see couples prioritizing experiences such as:
- Welcome drinks by the sea
- Sunset cocktails that invite conversation
- Celebrations that evolve naturally into the night
These moments, combined with the social energy guests bring from their stay at Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres, transform the wedding into something deeply memorable.
We Let Isla Mujeres Set the Rhythm
Every destination has its own pace, and Isla Mujeres sets one that is relaxed, social and full of life.
When weddings take place at Areia, we design them around this natural rhythm:
- Slow, light-filled days
- Golden-hour moments that bring everyone together
- Nights that build energy organically
By allowing the island to guide the experience, weddings feel effortless and authentic.

From Planning to Experience
From our perspective, the most successful wedding weekends are those where venue, accommodation and destination work together.
Celebrating at Areia Isla Mujeres, while staying at Mayan Monkey Isla Mujeres, allows couples to create a wedding that feels connected from start to finish—one that guests don’t just attend, but truly experience.
At Areia, we believe weddings are not only planned—they are lived, shared and remembered
