Situated at the heart of Tulum beachfront properties, Sanara is the the ideal jungle-meets-sea hideaway. With bright white interiors and exteriors the property allows your eyes to focus and the beautiful topography. Design Tip: Stick to the neutral pallets to hold to the property's aesthetic by using white Sonora plates, a tan runner and greenery to pop.
It may be Mexico but you won't find any sombreros here. Located alongside the white sandy beach of the Yucatan Peninsula, Ana y José is a not-so-average Mexican destination that exceeds all expectations of luxury. In addition to hotels amenities, the surrounding area provides warm turquoise Caribbean waters and lush tropical rainforests, making it a nature lover's treasure trove. Design Tip: To redefine the idea of a Mexico destination beach wedding, keep the design fun yet elegant by merging timeless elements with pops of color for a stylish yet youthful style. The Archive team adores mixing and matching multi-colored drinkware such as our lavender, teal and amber goblets.
The beautiful Akiin Beach Club in Tulum is named after the ancient Mayan saying "my place, my sun, my space" and is considered one of the most unique and magical spots in the Mexican Caribbean. Situated on the breathtaking Riviera Maya coastline, this dreamy venue offers the perfect backdrop for a relaxed sandy toed celebration. Design Tip: Play off of the colors of the scenery. Here, Archive paired teal goblets to match the crystal clear sea, gold flatware to mimic the flashes of light as the sun set and florist Maria Limon incorporated blush roses to play off the pink toned sand.
Located at the most exclusive southern-tip of Tulum's main beach drag, Casa Malca celebrates the best of contemporary art and luxury aesthetic. Once owned by Pablo Escobar, the remodeled property maintained the rustic motif and added modern design. To play tribute to the artwork throughout the property we decided to create an installation of our own by draping chandeliers from the canopy of trees overhead of the ceremony setting. Design Tip: Varying antique brass chandeliers add timeless romantic ambiance while building eye-catching dimension. With an extended chain you can get creative on where to suspend the chandeliers from!

Weddings on the property have access to all the amenities. Design Tip: Nothing says tropical like a thatched palapa.

Together with the idyllic Chiringuito hotel it will be sure to make an evening to remember.
