Dream Destination: Zihuatanejo, Mexico

Mexico is such a perfect place for a destination wedding. It's tropical, romantic, gorgeous and so rich in culture. Right now we're particularly loving Zihuatanejo, a small town on the Pacific side of Mexico. You can fly direct into Zihuatanejo via United, Continental and Alaska, so it's an easy trip for you and your wedding guests. Plus, there are tons of places to stay. Our favorite hotels in the area are the Tides Hotel, Amuleto Hotel and Casa Que Canta. And if you'd prefer to get married off the beaten path, there are quite a few private estates and villas you can rent as well.

Photos below are from a villa Alison recently visited on her Spring Break trip to Zihuatanejo. It would be perfect for a wedding of about 50 guests. The views of the harbor are phenomenal and you can do dinner and dancing all outside overlooking the bay. The luxurious property sleeps 12 guests and has lovely rooms and amenities and there are homes on both sides that can also be rented for guests.
