Mayan Weddings Turn Into Exotic Honeymoons with Banyan Tree

Following a magical Mayan-inspired nuptial in Mexico's serene Riviera Maya, couples can explore the spectacular Yunnan Highlands of China and discover the enigmatic spiritual charm of Tibet. For a limited time, guests who book a destination wedding at Banyan Tree Mayakoba receive a gift certificate redeemable for a five-night honeymoon of a lifetime at Banyan Tree Lijiang and Banyan Tree Ringha, including airfare credit, airport pick-up and ground transportation, romantic villa accommodation, a destination dining experience and spa treatment.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba, meaning ‘village over the water' in Mayan, presents a unique fusion of Mexican culture and Asian hospitality, serenely located on the ancient coastline of the Riviera Maya where luxury, nature and serenity blend in harmony. A breathtaking sanctuary for the senses, the resort is an ideal wedding venue and perfect escape for relaxation, romance and world-class dining. Surrounded by emerald lagoons, lush mangroves, a PGA golf course and white sugar-sand beaches, this intimate oasis offers wedding packages from small, intimate beach weddings to extravagant affairs; from vow renewals and marriage blessings to spiritual Mayan Wedding rituals.

Following their wedding, couples will have the chance to embrace Banyan Tree's eastern heritage with an exciting, exotic honeymoon staying at two Banyan Tree resorts in China. Located in China's Yunnan Province, Banyan Tree Lijiang offers stunning views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, an acclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the chance to discover the fascinating local Na'xi culture. Banyan Tree Ringha, in storied Tibet, provides a uniquely immersive experience where guests stay in luxuriously restored Tibetan lodges. With views of the majestic Yangtze River and the chance to take part in Tibetan blessings when visiting the Five Wisdom Buddha Temple, couples can sample traditional Yak Butter Tea and much more.
