Want a Private Resort Wedding? Mar Del Cabo Is the Answer
Tucked along the pristine coastline of Baja California, Mar Del Cabo is a hidden gem that blends old-world charm with modern luxury. Unlike the massive all-inclusive resorts that dominate Los Cabos, this boutique property offers something far more intimate—just 46 suites designed in a stunning mix of Mediterranean architecture and Mexican coastal elegance. Think bright white walls, vibrant blue accents, and lush bougainvillea cascading down the balconies. It’s a place that feels both exclusive and welcoming, like your own private oasis by the sea.

Considering a hotel buyout for your wedding? I highly recommend Mar Del Cabo. This boutique hotel is one of those magical places that is tailor-made for exclusive and private destination weddings. With its boutique size, luxurious amenities, and the natural beauty of Baja California, Mexico, it’s no wonder it’s one of the best boutique hotel buyout venues around. Let me walk you through why this property is a top choice for couples who want an unforgettable wedding experience.
What Makes Mar del Cabo Perfect for a Buyout?
Intimate Size with Big Charm
With just 46 suites, Mar del Cabo strikes the perfect balance between spacious and intimate. A resort buyout means you and your guests have the entire property to yourselves—no strangers at the pool, no interruptions during your wedding events, and no competing for the best oceanfront views. Every moment feels more personal, from morning coffee on your private terrace to late-night celebrations under the stars. Your wedding weekend becomes more than just an event; it turns into a full-blown experience where your closest friends and family can relax, connect, and celebrate together in a way that just isn’t possible at larger resorts.
What makes Mar Del Cabo stand out is its commitment to personalized service. We like it because there is a focus on curated experiences rather than cookie-cutter vacations. The resort offers farm-to-table dining, handcrafted cocktails, and a setting that feels truly special. The beachfront location is unbeatable. It has panoramic ocean views and direct beach access that creates a dreamlike setting for wedding ceremonies and celebrations.
Unforgettable Baja Scenery
Cabo is known for its dramatic landscapes, and Mar del Cabo takes full advantage of its prime coastal location. The resort offers uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, with sunsets that create a stunning natural backdrop for your wedding. Ceremonies can be held right on the beach, receptions can take place on the open-air terrace with ocean breezes, and the rooftop space provides an incredible setting for an evening celebration. Every corner of the property is designed to highlight the scenery, making it a standout choice for couples who want a wedding with unforgettable views.
Tailored Wedding Packages
Mar del Cabo isn’t just a pretty venue—it’s a wedding-ready destination. Their Wow Takeover Wedding package is designed for couples who want a fully immersive, stress-free experience. It includes everything from a beachfront ceremony setup to customized gourmet menus, allowing you to design a celebration that reflects your style. The resort’s expert team handles all the big-day logistics, while I work behind the scenes to coordinate the travel arrangements, pre-wedding visits, and group activities. This way, you can focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about the details.
Pro Tips for Planning Your Mar del Cabo Wedding
Book Early
Mar del Cabo is in high demand, especially for full buyouts, so locking in your date early is crucial. To have the best selection of dates, suites, and custom options for your wedding weekend, plan to book at least 12 to 18 months in advance. This gives you more flexibility and ensures you don’t miss out on securing the entire resort for your private celebration.
Make It a Weekend Experience
One of the biggest perks of a resort buyout is that your wedding becomes more than just a one-day event—it’s an entire experience. Your guests are traveling all the way to Cabo, so why not make the most of it? Plan a welcome party by the pool with margaritas and live music, a private sunset cruise the night before your wedding, or a farewell brunch with Baja-style chilaquiles and fresh mimosas. I can also help coordinate unique group excursions like snorkeling trips, tequila tastings, or a spa day at one of Cabo’s top wellness retreats.
Plan a Pre-Wedding Visit
If you can, visiting the property before your wedding is always a great idea. It gives you a chance to meet the wedding team, finalize decor choices, and get a feel for the space. If traveling before the wedding isn’t possible, no problem—I’ll help arrange a virtual tour or site inspection so you can see everything firsthand and feel confident in your decision.
Bonus Tips: Mixing Mar del Cabo with Grand Velas Los Cabos
Mar del Cabo is an incredible option for a private wedding buyout, but if a full buyout isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there’s another stunning resort just a short walk away—Grand Velas Los Cabos. These two properties are completely different, but they complement each other beautifully, and there are some creative ways to incorporate both into your wedding plans.
If you’re getting married at Grand Velas but love the charm of Mar del Cabo, consider using it as a backdrop for your wedding photos. The whitewashed walls, vibrant bougainvillea, and coastal scenery create a completely different aesthetic from the grand, ultra-luxurious setting of Grand Velas. Having photos at both locations gives you a mix of intimate, boutique-style shots and dramatic, high-end resort images, adding more variety to your wedding album.
If you’re staying at Mar del Cabo but want to experience the luxury of Grand Velas, a day pass is the perfect option. You and your guests can enjoy everything from gourmet dining and premium cocktails to one of the best spas in Mexico. It’s an easy way to add an all-inclusive experience to your stay without committing to it for the entire trip. Plus, I can secure a 20% discount for you and your guests, making it even more worthwhile.
Let’s Talk Wedding Plans
Mar del Cabo is the kind of venue that will make every moment of your destination wedding feel like it’s been personally crafted just for you. Its breathtaking views, boutique size, and world-class service make it the perfect destination for couples looking to create something truly special. If this sounds like your dream destination wedding, I’d love to help you see if this property is the right choice for your wedding group.
