WEDDING VILLAS

In our experience, the following villas are the best for Weddings. If extra guests require accommodations, we recommend rental of neighboring "sister" villas.

The villa where the wedding takes place requires a minimum one-week rental at full house rate. For "sister" villas where additional guests are accommodated, there is a seven night minimum in High Season and a five night minimum in Low Season.

Maximum guest count for any event surrounding a wedding is indicated under each villa listed below.
In most villas, a $15 per person surcharge applies to outside guests (in excess of double occupancy per bedroom) who attend a rehearsal dinner, the wedding reception, brunch or any other hospitality event at the wedding villa.
