Hotel Riu Palace Aquarelle Weddings

Nestled along White Bay in Falmouth, Hotel Riu Palace Aquarelle is the kind of all-inclusive resort that brings people together for celebrations, and sandy toes. And unforgettable days under the Jamaican sun! With its beachfront setting and 24-hour service, it’s easy to see why couples eyeing destination weddings fall in love with this one. Whether you're bringing the whole crew or sneaking off for a romantic getaway, this resort knows how to keep things exciting without making you lift a finger.

From sunrise buffets to sunset cocktails, fun water park rides to serene spa moments, there’s something for every guest. The energy is easy-going but full of options. You can pick from kayaking, beach volleyball, lounging by the pool with a drink in hand, or heading out to explore the waters at Glistening Bay. With over 700 rooms, including romantic suites and family-friendly spaces, it’s ready to host your big day (and everyone who’s coming to celebrate it).

Accommodations

The resort offers a mix of room types, but two stand out for wedding groups. For guests traveling with family or in groups, the 2-Bedroom Family Room with Sea View is what we recommend. It hits the sweet spot with plenty of space, sea-facing balconies or terraces, and all the essentials: minibar, air conditioning, coffee maker, sofa bed, and more. And it’s easy on the budget.

For the newlyweds, we recommend the Junior Suite Swim-Up - Adults Only. It feels like it was made for honeymooners! With direct access to a private pool and a chic, cozy interior, it’s got that just-married glow. Think bathrobes, a stocked minibar, coffee for two, and a terrace for quiet morning starts.

Dining & Drinks

Food is taken seriously here, in the best way. You can start your day with a buffet breakfast at White Bay, complete with live cooking stations and vegetarian-friendly options. Then return for lunch and dinner, or switch it up with themed restaurants that serve flavors from around the world. Head to Krystal for fusion cuisine, Napoli for comforting Italian dishes, or Kyoto for flavorful Asian fare. Don’t miss the Steakhouse or the Jerk Grill, both offering hearty, smoky meals that are perfect after a sun-soaked day. Drinks are always within reach - swim-up bars, the Cappuccino café, and cozy hangouts like the Daiquiri and Ska bars make sure you never go thirsty.

Activities & Entertainment

Wedding guests of all ages will find something fun to do. Families can enjoy the Splash Water World water park, complete with slides and sun loungers. The little ones can dive into supervised fun at RIU Land, where arts, crafts, games, and pool time keep them busy while grown-ups unwind. Adults can keep active with RIU Fit classes, or try paddleboarding, snorkeling, kayaking, or a friendly game of beach volleyball. Nighttime brings themed parties, live music, and more opportunities to soak up the island spirit.

Amenities

The resort’s got all the comforts you’d expect. With four pools (including one just for kids), loungers, umbrellas, and towel service, relaxation is easy. A fully equipped gym helps guests stay fit, while the Renova Spa offers massages, facials, and a peaceful retreat to unwind from the wedding hustle. Free Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected, and sustainability is a big part of the RIU experience. With renewable energy initiatives already in place, they’ve cut down their carbon footprint significantly. So you can celebrate your big day knowing it’s just a little greener.
