Venue Setting

YOUR VERY OWN PRIVATE RESORT!

Villa Punto de Vista is not “just a villa.” It’s a fully staffed private resort estate designed for unforgettable destination weddings, milestone celebrations, retreats, and multigenerational family stays—with the privacy of your own exclusive property and the service standards of a five-star hotel.

Set above Manuel Antonio Bay with a 270° ocean panorama, the estate sits on a lush 2.5-acre rainforest reservewhere you’ll often spot sloths, monkeys, toucans, and tropical birds right on the property. And while it feels completely secluded, you’re also just minutes from the beach and a short drive to the best restaurants, the marina, and the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park.

From the moment you inquire, our Pre-Arrival Concierge becomes your planning partner—helping coordinate guest rooms, arrivals, private chefs, experiences, transportation, and every meaningful detail so your group can simply arrive and enjoy.


Why guests choose Punto de Vista
Fully staffed, every day

Unlike most venues, Punto de Vista comes with a complete team so your group feels cared for, not “self-managed.” You’ll have daily housekeeping, a breakfast chef, bilingual concierge support, bartenders, maintenance, and security—all aligned to deliver a seamless, elevated experience.

What it feels like (from guest feedback)

A magical visit… we felt supported, welcomed, cared for and respected by the entire team.”
Every need was met and every experience was impeccably shaped.”
Our hearts are full and our memories vivid.


The estate, in detail
A “private resort” layout with iconic design

The main villa is an architectural statement of steel, glass, natural rock, and artisan tile, designed to feel like a ship overlooking the Pacific. Expansive sliding glass walls blur the line between inside and out, so the ocean breezes and jungle soundtrack become part of daily life.

The property is comprised of:

  • The Main Villa: dramatic multi-level social spaces, event-ready flow, panoramic views

  • A charming entry cottage on the same estate, creating extra privacy and a true “compound” feel for groups

Ten boutique-style bedrooms

The estate features 10 bedrooms, each with its own personality and thoughtful details—private baths, rain showers, organic bath products, and unique finishes (including signature tilework). The layout makes it easy for groups to gather together while still having personal space to recharge.


Signature spaces for weddings, retreats, and celebrations
Ocean-view lounge + bar (perfect for welcome events)

A dramatic double-height living space with operable glass corners brings the ocean and rainforest into the heart of the villa. It’s ideal for welcome cocktails, receptions, after-dinner celebrations, or a lively dance night, with bar service and event-ready setup.

Pool terrace + jungle connection

Steps from the social spaces, the pool area offers ocean views paired with an intimate jungle feel—an atmosphere guests consistently describe as both energizing and calming.

Covered dining terrace for group meals

Host long, memorable meals together with sweeping bay views. It’s the kind of space that turns breakfast into a moment, lunch into a memory, and dinner into an event.

Rooftop deck + bar + infinity-edge jacuzzi

The roof top deck is a showstopper: a panoramic ocean view 200 degree rooftop designed for sunset gatherings, yoga, stargazing, intimate ceremonies, and late-night celebrations, with a bar and a dramatic infinity-edge jacuzzi overlooking the estate.


Location: secluded, but close to everything

One of the most unique advantages of Villa Punto de Vista is how it feels private and immersed in nature, yet still gives you quick access to the best of Manuel Antonio:

  • Minutes to the beach for swimming, sunsets, and ocean activities

  • Close to Manuel Antonio National Park (world-famous wildlife and trails)

  • Easy access to restaurants, shops, and the marina for excursions and dining out

  • Convenient transfers from San José by domestic flight or scenic drive


Perfect for:

Destination Weddings | Milestone Birthdays & Anniversaries | Wellness & Executive Retreats | Multigenerational Family Stays | Luxury Group Getaways

If you’re looking for a place that feels elevated, private, and deeply cared for—where the team is part of the magic—Villa Punto de Vista is the kind of stay your group will talk about for years.

Additional Charges

Villa Punto de Vista Estate is priced as an exclusive-use, fully staffed private resort experience. Your rental already includes a wide range of services and amenities, so most groups find the “base experience” is far more complete than a typical luxury villa.

Included with the rental
  • Exclusive-use of the estate for your group

  • Fully staffed service team (housekeeping, breakfast chef, concierge support, bartenders, maintenance, and security)

  • Pre-Arrival Concierge planning support (logistics, arrivals, activity coordination, and in-villa services scheduling)

  • Gourmet complimentary breakfast for the entire group

  • Chauffeured full-size luxury SUV (for seamless local transportation and guest logistics)

  • Luxurious Jennifer Adams microfiber Lux Linens

  • Event table for special occasions for groups under 25

  • Club-quality Electrovoice audio in the downstairs ballroom

  • High-speed Wi-Fi, A/C in suites, and organic bath amenities

  • Private rainforest reserve setting with abundant on-property wildlife

Separate costs (not included in the rental)

Some elements are customized based on your group and are billed separately. Your Pre-Arrival Concierge will coordinate these seamlessly:

  • Chef services beyond breakfast (lunch/dinner, culinary experiences, special menus)

  • Event planning and production (wedding planning, coordination, staffing, vendor management)

  • Event rentals and décor (tables/chairs beyond what’s included, lighting, florals, staging, sound/AV upgrades, tenting if needed)

  • Transportation beyond the included SUV service, excursions, spa services, babysitting, and other curated experiences


FAQs and Helpful Notes

Do we have to use specific vendors?
We can recommend trusted partners and help coordinate everything, but we’ll guide you based on what you’re planning and what will deliver the best guest experience.

Is this a “venue-only” rental?
No. This is a private estate stay with hotel-level staffing included. Most couples and groups choose us because it removes friction and gives them a highly supported experience.

How does budgeting usually work for weddings or retreats?
The villa rental is your foundation. Your event costs depend on guest count, style, rentals, florals, production needs, and food/beverage beyond breakfast. We help you map a realistic range early so there are no surprises.

Do you include wedding planning?
Planning and production are separate. We’ll connect you with planners and vendors that match your style and expectations, and our Pre-Arrival Concierge helps coordinate the villa-side logistics.

Do you include lunch and dinner chefs?
Breakfast is included. Additional chef services are customized and quoted separately based on your group size and preferences.

Are there any hidden fees?
No. We aim for clear, upfront communication. Anything outside the included items is discussed in advance and coordinated with you before booking vendors or services.

What if our group is still deciding on the event scope?
That’s common. We can help you start with a simple plan and scale up as details solidify, keeping the experience seamless and the budget aligned.

If you’d like, we can share a realistic “typical spend range” based on your guest count and event style once we know your vision.
