Forget the rules and traditions. Forget the wild rush. When it’s just the two of you, the day becomes what it was always meant to be—intimate, real, and authentically yours.
The places I’ve gathered below aren’t just beautiful stays. They carry a certain kind of energy—something you can feel the moment you arrive. Whether it’s salt air on your skin, the quietness of the jungle, or a rooftop view that makes the city feel like yours alone, each space invites you to slow down and just be – you know?
Maybe it’s the quiet of getting ready, a first look tucked into the trees, or a slow bath with your favorite book nearby—whatever your pace, one of these places will speak to you and be a backdrop for some of your elopement moments.
So, let’s get into it.
La Valise, Mexico City
For the couple who finds poetry in architecture.
La Valise isn’t just a hotel—it feels like a little work of art tucked into the heart of Mexico City. With those arched French doors and a bed that literally rolls out onto the terrace, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and soak it all in. Which speaks for a perfect elopement stay.
Everything about it seems made for intimate moments—soft light, layered textures, and that quiet kind of charm. I can already picture morning coffee on the terrace, a first look in that golden light.
Hotel Dama, Oaxaca Coast
For lovers who crave silence
Hotel Dama in Mexico City has been on my radar for a while now. It’s minimal in the best way—soft light, clean lines, and the kind of quiet elegance that doesn’t try too hard.
I can already imagine the moments it would hold—tea on the balcony, a slow getting-ready morning, maybe an intimate rooftop ceremony with the city stretching out around you. Can you see the dream?
Our Habitas Bacalar
For the wild-hearted, water-drawn souls.
Our Habitas Bacalar feels like stepping into another rhythm all together. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying.
With floating docks, breezy canopy beds, and morning light filtering through the palms, it’s basically a dream for anyone craving something peaceful and meaningful. I can already see the vision with slow activities for the weekend-wine and art class, morning yoga by the water, sunset catamaran sailing with your close friends/family.
Hotel Villas Flamingos, Holbox
For the barefoot romantics.
Villas Flamingos is pure chill—sun-bleached wood and tides that change all day. No need for fancy stuff here; it’s all about good vibes and easy living. Think hammocks over water and open-air showers with the ocean breeze to start your elopement morning.
Villa Mamazul, Tulum
For the curators of beauty, where every detail matters.
Villa Mamazul feels like a full sensory vibe—rich textiles, cool water, and warm stone. Nestled in the jungle but open to the stars, it’s private, luxe, and effortlessly stylish. Perfect for couples who want their elopement to be both meaningful and a little indulgent.

Hi, I’m Jessica—an intimate wedding and elopement photographer with a love for honest moments, beautiful places, and stories that feel like home.
I believe intimate weddings deserve just as much care, creativity, and heart as the large productions. Whether you’re sharing vows with just a few loved ones or planning a multi-day of connection and meaning, your story matters—and it deserves to be documented with intention.
If one of these speaks to you—or if your dream location is still unfolding somewhere else in the world—I’d love to come along and help bring it to life. Begin this journey by heading to my inquiry page! See you there friend.
