It’s no secret that Costa Rica is the perfect destination for weddings, but did you know that there’s a private estate that rests right on the line where the beach meets the rainforest…and you can rent it out for your wedding?! Villa Punto de Vista in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica is comprised of two modern villas that can be rented together or separately, depending on the size of your wedding and your guest count. Together, the two villas can sleep between 30-54 guests, making it the perfect destination if you’re planning a micro-wedding or want to extend your stay to make the most of your time with your wedding party. So let’s get to work and dream up your perfect wedding weekend…

You and your guests land and are greeted by one of Villa Punto de Vista Estate’s luxury transportation services. Because we dream big, let’s go with the helicopter. You and your fiancé(e) are whisked off to your tropical wedding destination. You soar over acres of rainforest until you finally see the coastline on the horizon. You touch down at the estate and are greeted on the helipad by your butler, yes…your butler! They offer you a glass of champagne as you’re chauffeured around the estate for a quick tour of the grounds as you make your way to the villa where you’ll be staying.

Your bags are taken to your luxury suite while you make yourself at home in the infinity pool where you await your guests’ arrival for the welcome party. For dinner, you and your guests are treated to a gourmet dining experience with a private chef. Then you retire to the rooftop deck for a quick drink as you say your goodnights.

In the morning you wake to the sun glistening off of the crystal-blue water from your beachfront view. You meet everyone in the spacious dine-in kitchen for a freshly made breakfast feast and of course fresh squeezed juice and mimosas. There your butler will assist you and your guests with booking any spa treatments or excursions.

After a fun-filled day in paradise, you and your wedding party will meet with your wedding planner for your wedding rehearsal at the venue of your choice. At Villa Punto de Vista Estate, you can select from beachside settings, lush gardens, and elegant indoor spaces, that can accommodate weddings of all sizes and styles. Once you’ve got your plan on lock, you’ll join the rest of your guests for your rehearsal dinner.

On the big day, you can get ready together or go your separate ways after breakfast to keep the first look a surprise. Unwind before all of the excitement with a private massage then slip into your wedding attire and get your glam on while your wedding planner and the estate’s butler-led team take care of the rest.

Exchange vows as your loved ones watch on then sneak off to the beach for a golden-hour photo sesh before joining everyone for a cocktail hour on the poolside terrace. Then, it’s time for dinner and dancing the night away under the stars. You seriously haven’t even seen the night sky until you’ve seen it from Costa Rica.

When the party is over and you’ve toasted your last glass, you’re just a few steps away from your honeymoon suite. Enjoy breakfast in bed the next day and then pop into the post-wedding brunch to say your goodbyes. And while you’ll be sad to leave, just think, how fun would an anniversary party at Villa Punto de Vista Estate be?! Plus, you’ll have all of those incredible wedding photos and memories that will last you (and your guests) a lifetime–there’s no better wedding favor than that!
