LUXE Destination Wedding’s June Partner of the Month, Barceló Hotel Group, is extending exclusive perks to couples looking to mark the next chapter of their lives with a celebration in paradise.

Barceló Hotel Group has been a leading brand in the travel industry for decades, and over their 90-year tenure, has raised the bar when it comes to hosting remarkable destination weddings in the tropics. The group knows all too well that when you’re deep in the process of planning a wedding that’s anything but ordinary, both your chosen property and venue need to follow suit. This is where their breathtaking properties come in. Whether you’re dreaming of an immersive jungle experience or a sun-soaked celebration on one of the world’s most iconic beaches, Barceló Hotel Group’s top all inclusive resorts deliver destination wedding perfection with a distinctly elevated edge.

Occidental at Xcaret Destination: Riviera Maya, Mexico

Tucked within the heart of Riviera Maya, this 5-star resort is an architectural love letter to both Mexico’s lush natural surroundings and dynamic culture. Occidental at Xcaret Destination is more than just a place to stay, it’s an immersive experience with magic found around every corner – from the riverbeds that wind through the jungle to hidden coves kissed by Caribbean waves, and a backdrop that’s equal parts mystical and romantic.

The sprawling all inclusive oasis offers more than enough space for visiting guests with 765 rooms and suites, more than 20 restaurants and bars, seven pools, a Kids Club, activities, jungle-lined pathways, and even a private white-sand cove framed by tropical palms. It’s these offerings that make this a top wedding resort for many.

For a space to call home that’s even more exclusive, Royal Level is a boutique hotel within the grounds of Occidental at Xcaret Destination that offers you and your guests private areas, VIP service, and enhanced luxury, from check-in to your champagne toast.

Couples looking to infuse their celebration with cultural authenticity, and show their attending family and friends a unique time in Riviera Maya, these hotels are conveniently situated beside the renowned Xcaret Eco-Archaeological Park, an expansive theme park and ecological wonder that’s home to over 40 attractions showcasing the art, history, and spirit of Mexico.

Barceló Bávaro Grand Resort: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Welcome to Barceló Bávaro Grand Resort, an impressive resort complex with two all inclusive hotels that encompass the Caribbean’s sophistication, cultural depth, and elevated resort designs.

At both properties, an experience wrapped in luxury is guaranteed, whether you choose the family-friendly Barceló Bávaro Palace complete with adults only spaces, or Barceló Bávaro Beach which is entirely dedicated to adults, on one of the top ten beaches in the world (as named by National Geographic). Guests can unwind in oceanview suites, savor exceptional meals at 11 restaurants, and take advantage of upgraded Premium Level privileges, including exclusive lounges, elevated amenities, and personalized concierge service.

Couples with a guest list that spans generations will appreciate that this property strikes the perfect balance between celebration and relaxation, offering something for everyone to enjoy. From the high-energy nightlife and water sports to secluded beach moments and spa escapes at the 54,000 square-foot U-Spa ($), every experience is unforgettable.’

When it comes to weddings at Barceló Bávaro Grand Resort, you can expect elevated ceremony spots, lavish reception options, and expert on-site planners who make your oceanfront “I dos” or glamorous indoor celebrations feel effortless.

One love story, two luxe locales

You could be saying yes surrounded by Riviera Maya’s wild beauty or beneath the Caribbean sun in Punta Cana, but one thing is for certain – what Barceló Hotel Group provides its guest goes far beyond its stunning settings. It promises next-level service, curated guest experiences, and unforgettable memories, and with LUXE-exclusive perks available this June, there’s no better time to book.

Let your wedding be the event everyone talks about, and the getaway no one forgets.
