Beach wedding: here’s everything you need to know about renting a private beach to say “Yes, I do”

Could you think of a more beautiful celebration than a beach wedding? Surely if you’ve come here it’s because you think there isn’t. Did you know that beaches are one of the dreams of many couples to say “I do”? Of course!

Thanks to such beautiful nature, the blue sea, the gentle swell of the sea breaking on the shore… The beach offers the perfect backdrop for saying “I do” surrounded by family and friends.

So, if you want to experience a beach wedding and you are wondering if it is possible to rent a private beach, in this article we tell you everything you need to know about it.

Make yourself comfortable and let’s get started!

Can I rent a private beach for my wedding?

A private beach, unlike a public beach, offers greater privacy and allows you to celebrate your wedding away from viewers’ prying eyes. This type of venue will allow you to arrange a cocktail party or dinner, which is not possible on a public beach where you can only organise a symbolic ceremony.

So… Can I rent a private beach for my beach wedding? Yes, but it depends on the location.

For example, in Spain there are no private beaches. This is because the Coastal Law dictates that coasts are for public use, but they do exist in countries like Mexico and in some areas of the Caribbean region, which makes these destinations ideal for a destination wedding. We love beach weddings in Mexico!

There are also semi-private beaches

Yes, although Spain does not have private beaches, there are other alternatives to make your dream of celebrating your wedding on a private beach come true.

How? Well, you can hotels, fincas, restaurants and other venues that offer their clients semi-private beaches, that means, with preferential conditions.

These are areas that have sun loungers, Balinese beds, a bar area or even a spa for the exclusive use of guests on the seafront – without a doubt, the best setting for enjoying privacy and a touch of glamour!

This solution fits the proposal you are looking for and will give you the opportunity to personalise all the details for your wedding on the beach.

Best places in Spain for a beach wedding with absolute privacy

There are many options in the country! For example, Mallorca, Fuerteventura, Marbella, Catalonia or Formentera have some magnificent resorts that, in addition, will have the necessary equipment to celebrate the wedding right there.

We are not talking about hotels with private beaches in Spain, but about restaurants with incredible seaviews and, above all, about hotels and villas connected to beaches, and that beaches are a part of the territory that they manage, so they will have the necessary facilities to celebrate a wedding without any problems.

So, if you want to rent an intimate venue where you won’t see other bathers and will be hidden from prying eyes, you need to find a company that offers these services on a semi-private beach.

To find these venues, there is nothing better than consulting our Market Place and choose the category beach wedding. In the list you will find places that have the necessary authorisations for this type of event. It’s so simple!

Is there any paperwork and bureaucracy involved?

As celebrating a wedding on a semi-private beach in Spain is an exception to the general public regime, you won’t need to talk to the local government, all you need to do is find a supplier you like and consult with them about all the details regarding the possibility of celebrating the ceremony there.

As it is a private venue with a different regime to the administrative regime of public places, you will only have to comply with the regulations specified in the contract. The contract conditions will be more than clear from the beginning and, best of all, you won’t have to deal with any added bureaucracy. Wonderful!

Mexico is our favourite place to celebrate wedding on a private beach

If you want to celebrate your wedding on a private beach only, our best advice is to go to Mexico and choose this country as your wedding destination, as it has an endless number of paradisiacal beaches.

In addition, the beaches in Mexico are the favourite destination for all those who want to spend the best day of their lives among thousands of kilometres of coastline overlooking the Caribbean Sea or the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of beaches with crystal clear waters and white sands…

Now you know everything you need about organising a wedding on a private or semi-private beach, you can start planning the best day of your life.

And whether it’s in Spain or Mexico, at Perfect Venue we can help you with all the preparations, we love destination weddings and even more if it’s beach weddings!
