For a honeymoon at Rosewood Mayakoba, start at your suite's plunge pool or dock, then finish on the Lagoon Lawn as the sky colours up over the water. Book it in the first two days of your stay, before the tan lines arrive.
Most honeymoon photos on this coast are taken on a crowded beach. At Rosewood you can start in your own suite, and the frames feel like the trip actually felt. In October 2026 we photographed a couple at Rosewood Mayakoba, on the beach at golden hour and along the lagoon and mangrove paths inside the property.
A Plan for Two
Your suite. Every suite has a private plunge pool and outdoor shower. Lagoon suites have a dock on the water. Twenty quiet minutes here gives the most personal photos of the gallery.
The lagoon. Guests arrive by boat, and the resort runs eco-boat tours through the canals. Ask your butler whether a boat can be arranged for part of your session.
The Lagoon Lawn. It looks over the lagoon, and on a clear evening the calm water holds the colour of the sky, something the beach side cannot give you.
When to Book It
Early in your stay. You are rested, the wedding glow is still there and you will have the photos to enjoy for the rest of the trip. We then move your dinner around the sunset, not the other way round.
Our couples outfit guide helps with two looks, one for the suite and one for the lawn.
