The best destinations for your wallet are Cancun, Riviera Maya, Jamaica and Punta Cana. The most exotic or off the beaten path locations are Antigua, Barbados, Exuma, Grenada and St Lucia.

One major consideration for your elope package is whether you want the ceremony to be legal. Many of our clients do the official paperwork wedding at the local courthouse, but if you want the elopement to be fully legal, read our blog, Are Caribbean Weddings Legal?

Here are the 18 best all-inclusive wedding resorts for eloping couples that want the ceremony to be legal:

Here are the 19 best all-inclusive wedding resorts for eloping couples that are ok with a symbolic ceremony:

Aruba

• Riu Palace Antillas

Cancun

• Beloved Playa Mujeres
• Excellence Playa Mujeres
• Hyatt Zilara Cancun

When we are trying to find you the perfect place to elope, consider these 6 keys:

• Long or Short Stay
• Couples Only Resorts
• Adults Only Resorts
• Venues
• Elope Wedding Packages
• How Much Will the Elopement Package Cost with Everything Included?

For shorter stays, we recommend you try to minimize your travel time. Try to find better flight times and shorter times between the airport and the resort, so you can get maximum vacation time.

For stays of 3 to 5 nights, we recommend the Bahamas, Cancun, Jamaica, Punta Cana and the Riviera Maya.

In the Bahamas, no resorts are far from the airport.

In Jamaica, we highly recommend Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean, Secrets St James and Secrets Wild Orchid, which are all close to the airport.

The Cap Cana area is very close to the Punta Cana airport, so we highly recommend the Hyatt Cap Cana, Sanctuary Cap Cana and Secrets Cap Cana.

In Cancun, you’ll get to the strip faster, but Playa/Costa Mujeres is just 30 minutes more.

In the Riviera Maya, just be mindful that’s 81 miles of coastline. The Riviera Cancun, Puerto Morelos and Maroma areas are closer to the airport. Tulum does have a brand new airport if you can find good flights to Tulum.

If you have 6 nights, that opens up the southern Caribbean destinations like Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, Grenada and St Lucia. You also don’t have to be as concerned with how close the airport is to the resort.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For short stays you need to always keep in mind that residency requirements vary by destination and by resort, especially if you want a legal ceremony.

Since this vacation will be just for the 2 of you, we always recommend couples only resorts.

Without singles or kids, your elopement will be more romantic. You won’t find nurses conventions, fraternity reunions or tractor salesperson conventions. You can find couples only resorts in Antigua, Bahamas (Nassau and Exuma), Barbados, Cancun, Curacao, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Vincent and St Lucia. In most of these destinations, you’ll find our #1 all inclusive resort brand recommendation, Sandals Resorts.

Adults-only all-inclusive resorts are also great for Caribbean elopement packages. Maybe couples only sounds good, but you’re not finding the destination or the price you want. With adults only you still get the more mature atmosphere, so no teenagers doing cannonballs in the pool and no babies crying through your romantic dinner.

You’ll find adults only resorts in Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, Bahamas, Cozumel, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Saint Vincent, St Lucia and St Marteen-Martin. Also, we can help with Costa Rica, Los Cabos , Huatulco and Puerto Vallarta outside the Caribbean. In most of these destinations you’ll find our # 1 recommended resort brand for adults only resorts, Secrets Resorts.

Most people choose the beach and the beautiful Caribbean Sea for their background, but you have tons of options.

• Gazebos perched on the cliffs overlooking the Caribbean
• Underwater
• Over water chapels
• Churches and chapels
• Sugar Mill Ruins
• With the Pitons in the background
• Gazebos on Piers surrounded by water

We have 4 resort companies that offer elopement packages all over the Caribbean that are our top recommendations.

Sandals is our top recommendation for couples only all inclusive elopement package and can be found on 8 different islands, which include Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Curacao, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Vincent and St Lucia. Couples Resorts are also a great option. Couples Resorts are located only in Jamaica.

Secrets is our top recommendation for an adults only all inclusive elopement package. Secrets Resorts can be found on 5 islands, as well as 9 resorts in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. The adults only Hyatt Zilara resorts in Cancun, Punta Cana, Riviera Maya and Jamaica are a close second for recommended adults only resorts.
