Ocean View Luxury Villas in the Jungle

Places like Villa Punto de Vista and Villa La Isla are what make weddings in Costa Rica so fabulous. This villa is a magnificent architectural feat that offers the best of both worlds. It is resort style with a full-service staff to ensure that you have everything you need while offering the intimacy of your own private villa.

The 12,000 square foot villa is perched in the perfect spot close by the world-renowned Manuel Antonio National Park. It boasts epic views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding jungle. It is located on its own private 2.5 acres of tropical jungle. Thus, don’t be surprised if you look out the window to see a toucan flying by or monkeys scampering about in the trees. Speaking of windows, this place is filled with huge windows that afford a beautiful view from nearly every room in the villa.

The villa boasts 10 gorgeous suites, each with a unique color scheme and design. Some are perfect for accommodating families. There is such variety that everyone will find something they just are in love with! This is what makes Punto de Vista such a great spot for a destination wedding. Having space for up to 27 guests means that your bridal party and/or closest family members can all stay right here on the property but everyone has their own space in which to relax and enjoy themselves. Imagine taking an adventurous tropical vacation with all your favorite people and then topping it all off with one of the most special events of your life. It can’t get much better than that!

The villa is capable of hosting up to 100 guests for your special event so if more rooms are needed the villa staff is happy to take care of finding overflow accommodations. There are other private villas that are handily nearby or there are also a few luxurious and comfortable hotel options in the area.

If you’re having a grand affair and/or prefer to keep everything all in one place there are several options within the villa itself. The rooftop deck is a favorite among past guests as the view from the villa’s fifth floor of the jungle and the Pacific Ocean is simply breathtaking. The deck is covered so you don’t have to worry about either the intense tropical sun or surprise rain showers yet the walls are open so you can still enjoy those fresh ocean breezes.

Alternatively, you can choose the events terrace just one floor below the rooftop deck. The terrace features the same epic view, along with an exquisitely decorated teak and natural rock interior. This is also a great spot for dining as it is close to the kitchen and full-service bar.

The ballroom, while it can be a ceremony spot as well, is the most popular spot in the villa for receptions. The huge windows provide a beautiful view of the rainforest and the villa’s own infinity pool. Here there is also a full-service bar. Combine that with the disco lighting and sound system that can handle either a DJ or a live band on the mezzanine and it creates the perfect recipe for an awesome party!

Last but not least the pool deck is a beautiful spot for an intimate ceremony of up to 25 guests. The coral-stone covered seating area is a beautiful little nook beside the infinity pool that makes for a sweet atmosphere. Alternately this is a great space for the bachelor or bachelorette party or other special pre or post-wedding events.

Why These Villas Are Perfect for Your Wedding

Each villa (or both together) is rented to one group at a time. No outsiders will crash your party. The full-service staff and concierge handle every detail. It’s like having a private resort just for you.

The scenery is incredible. Lush rainforest, island-dotted bays, and tropical sunsets become part of your wedding backdrop. Local wedding planners, photographers, and florists know these villas well. They’ll make sure everything runs smoothly.

Your guests get more than just a wedding. Adventure activities, spa days, and trips turn your wedding week into a group vacation.

Planning Your Villa Wedding

Book early. Costa Rica’s dry season (December to April) fills up fast. Use the concierge to set up transportation, trips, catering, and pre-wedding events.

Think about booking both villas. This gives you more space and flexibility for larger groups. Plan for weather too. Both villas have covered and indoor options to keep your wedding safe from rain.
