Private Beach Clubs:
The Riviera Maya is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and private beach clubs offer an added level of luxury and convenience and privacy for the most romantic proposal you can ask for.
One of the main reasons so many tourists come to the Riviera Maya all year around is the stunning beaches with clear crystal water and palm trees, that enhance every proposal scenery and make it exotic and special.
A private beach club is a great option when you’re staying at an Airbnb apartment, that forbids events, has no space to have a proposal or when you would like to avoid having the proposal on a public beach, which requires permits, initially might be very crowded (especially on weekends) and has uncontrollable access.
Since all beaches in Mexico are federal, Zefomat permits are required for any kind of events taking place on the beach, even when it’s an intimate proposal for two people only.
In order to avoid the crowds, paperwork, waiting time and payments for public spots, choosing a private beach club eliminates unnecessary uncontrollable factors and gives you full privacy and peace of mind to move forward and enjoy the perfect moment, just the two of you.
A private beach club is a great escape in case you’re staying at a private resort that has a high vendor fees for external vendors.
Most of the resorts have in-house exclusive vendors; and their own event department, bringing someone external will require vendors’ fee, that includes the access of the vendor and his staff to the property. Requirements are changing from one resort to another as also the fees, but as a thumb rule, choosing a private beach club is gonna sum in much less spending over “access” when you get the whole venue to yourself.
Imagine 3000 square feet of an exclusive beach strap, surrounded by jungle, with amenities that will take the photography session after your proposal to the next level, and the best part is that it’s all to yourselves.
Pricing starts from $300 usd.
