You can hear the rainforest before you see it—howler monkeys echoing in the distance, the soft rustle of palms, waves whispering somewhere just out of view. Then it appears: a sleek, golden-hued villa rising from the jungle canopy like a mirage. Glass glints in the sunlight. Orchids bloom at the doorstep. And just beyond, the Pacific shimmers.

Welcome to Villa Punto de Vista Estate—where luxury, nature, and connection converge.

With over nearly 1,000 perfect 5-star reviews on WeddingWire, TripAdvisor, and Google, and a 100% recommendation rate from couples, it’s no wonder this estate is a multi-year winner of the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards and one of the most celebrated wedding venues in Central America.

But this isn’t just a wedding venue. It’s a love story written in stone, teak, and sunlight.

Your Ceremony Among the Canopy

The estate includes two villas situated on 2.5 acres of private rainforest reserve overlooking the Pacific Ocean, each with its own rhythm and personality. The 10-bedroom flagship  Villa Punto de Vista rises six stories above the jungle floor, a sleek, glass-wrapped sanctuary with views that stretch from the canopy to the sea. Its sister villa, 9-bedroom Villa La Isla, is more understated—open-air, gentle and tropical in its design, with an infinity pool that reflects the sky.

They can be rented together or separately, making them ideal for both intimate elopements and large-scale celebrations. Together, the villas sleep up to 54 guests, and the estate becomes one of the only private venues in Central America capable of hosting large groups with full staff support, five-star amenities, and total privacy—no other guests, no strangers by the pool.

This means you’re not just booking a wedding venue. You’re creating an immersive, multi-day experience. Think: welcome dinners, oceanfront brunches, group adventures, slow mornings, barefoot ceremonies on the rooftop terrace. The property can host up to 100 for celebrations and their team can help with overflow accommodations nearby, if needed.

“If you are wondering if the villa is as great as the pictures show—believe me, it is,” wrote one bride. “My family is still talking about our wedding and how they want to rent the villa again just for a family vacation.”

A Staff That Moves With You

What sets the estate apart isn’t just its view or its design, though—it’s the way the staff makes it feel like home.

With a perfect 5.0 average across every category on WeddingWire—from professionalism to flexibility—the team here has become part of many couples’ wedding memories.

“From the moment we arrived, we felt like royalty,” shared one guest. Another recalled, “The staff was never in the way but was ALWAYS right there when we needed something—and often predicted what we needed before we even did.”

And sometimes, they do more than anticipate—they act. When one bride’s father became ill the night before the ceremony, the staff helped coordinate medical care, clinic transport, and ensured he was able to walk her down the aisle the next day.

Design That Breathes With the Rainforest

Inside, the materials are rooted in place—volcanic stone, locally quarried sandstone, hand-carved wood, and artisan-crafted furnishings that echo the textures of the forest. Woven lighting fixtures cast a soft glow like fireflies at dusk. It’s not performative luxury. It’s design that invites stillness, connection, and awe.

Here, the architecture doesn’t compete with the view. It frames it. Every window, every line, every material points you back to the reason you came: that sense of something vast and alive just outside your door.

Quiet Commitments, Lasting Impact

To stand on the rooftop terrace at Villa Punto de Vista is to understand what’s at stake. The rainforest stretches out in every direction. The ocean meets the sky in a blur of blue. And the view? “The villa was second to none, luxurious and modern with a perfect location overlooking the ocean with an incredible island right in front,” wrote one guest.

It’s the kind of view that stays with you—but only if it’s protected.

The estate is deeply committed to preserving the land it celebrates. Sustainability isn’t a feature here—it’s foundational.

Solar energy powers the property. Organic, refillable bath products replace single-use plastics. Even the luxurious linens are woven from recycled ocean-bound fibers. Water flows still and sparkling from filtered taps, so no guest needs to rely on plastic bottles.

Villa Punto de Vista also looks beyond its borders. It partners with Make-A-Wish to host transformative stays for children and their families, and funds infrastructure for nearby rural schools. This is a place where your wedding directly supports the surrounding community—something past guests have called both “humbling” and “inspiring.”

A Living Blueprint for the Future of Hospitality

There are places that photograph well, and there are places that stay with you long after the last toast is made. Villa Punto de Vista is the latter. Just take it from recent couples:

“We just came back from our wedding at Villa Punto de Vista, and it was the most magical experience of my life. The staff is absolutely amazing here, taking care of every possible need you could have. Huge shout-out to Diego, Jossue, and Harold, our main concierges, for making everything perfect from day one.”

“Our wedding at Villa Punto de Vista was absolutely magical. The staff went above and beyond, anticipating our every need with warmth and professionalism. It’s a slice of paradise we’ll cherish forever.”

“Truly a 15/10 experience we hope to have again.”

Because long after the photos fade, what you’ll remember is how it felt to stand at the edge of the world—with everyone you love, and nowhere else to be.
