If you're considering a destination wedding in Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio offers a setting that goes beyond the traditional beach celebration. At Los Altos Resort, the Pacific is still very much part of the experience but from above, framed by tropical rainforest and the natural beauty of our private 21-acre reserve.
This is where we believe Los Altos offers something particularly special for weddings, anniversaries and private events: an intimate five-star resort, beautiful ocean views, spacious accommodations for different types of guests, and the possibility of making the entire property your own.
A Different Setting for a Destination Wedding in Costa Rica
Costa Rica and beach weddings often go hand in hand. But your celebration doesn't have to take place on the sand to have the Pacific as its backdrop.
At Los Altos, events unfold surrounded by the jungle, with elevated views toward the ocean and the landscape of Manuel Antonio all around you. It feels tropical without being predictable and private without feeling removed from the destination.
For couples looking for a wedding venue in Manuel Antonio, this creates a very different atmosphere: lush, intimate and naturally elegant, with the rainforest and Pacific becoming part of the setting.
And it works just as beautifully for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, family gatherings and other private celebrations.
Boutique by Nature, Personal by Design
Our boutique scale is particularly well suited to celebrations.
Los Altos offers the service and amenities of a five-star resort while remaining intimate enough for a group to feel genuinely connected to the property. Rather than having your celebration take place around the regular rhythm of a large resort, the experience can feel much more personal.
The days surrounding the event can be equally important. Guests can spend time together by our infinity pool, enjoy treatments at Orquídea Spa, gather for dinner, explore Manuel Antonio or simply have an afternoon with nothing on the schedule.
Not every moment needs to be planned. Having everyone together in one place often takes care of that naturally.
Why Not Make the Entire Resort Yours?
For celebrations where privacy is a priority, full resort buyouts are available at Los Altos.
A private resort buyout allows the entire stay to be shaped around your group. Your guests aren't simply attending an event and returning to their rooms afterward, they are sharing the resort and the destination with you.
For a destination wedding in Manuel Antonio, a milestone anniversary or a private gathering, this opens the possibility of creating a much more curated experience, from accommodations and dining to activities and time spent together.
There is also something quite special about welcoming your guests to Manuel Antonio and knowing that, for those few days, Los Altos is entirely yours.
Room for Everyone and the Right Space for Each Guest
Another advantage for destination celebrations is the variety of accommodations available within the resort.
Our spacious two and three-bedroom suites and four-bedroom penthouses work particularly well for families and groups of friends who want to stay together while still having plenty of room.
Our Villas provide an excellent option for smaller groups, while our adults-only Townhouses are ideal for couples seeking a little more privacy.
This flexibility allows different guests to enjoy the type of accommodation that suits them while keeping everyone together at Los Altos, something that can make planning a multi-day destination event considerably easier.
More Than One Day in Manuel Antonio
One of the reasons we love hosting celebrations in Manuel Antonio is that the event itself becomes part of a larger experience.
Guests can discover the beaches and wildlife that make the area so special, spend a day exploring, enjoy the resort, or simply slow down. There can be planned activities and shared meals, but also plenty of time for everyone to experience Costa Rica in their own way.
For a destination wedding or private event, that balance matters. You are not only choosing where the celebration will take place; you are choosing where everyone will spend the days surrounding it. At our resort, those days come with rainforest, Pacific views, space to be together and five-star hospitality, all within one of Costa Rica's most distinctive destinations.
