Wildly Wed at
Arenas Del Mar
We’re the only luxury resort in Manuel Antonio with direct beach access for weddings. No shuttles. No staging. Just a true beachfront ceremony, handled with care.
Right on the Beach. Small by Design.
Weddings here don’t feel effortless by chance—they run smoothly because a seasoned, in-house team handles every detail. No outside coordinators. No third-party handoffs.
We host a limited number of weddings each season. That means you’ll have full access to our lead planner, florist, chef, and event staff. Every decision is made with you, not around you.
Our size is intentional. With a guest list of up to 35, your wedding remains personal, focused, and fully within view. You’ll know who’s pouring the wine, cueing the music, and timing the ceremony—not just hope it’s happening.
It’s the kind of setting where the background doesn’t need adjusting. Rainforest behind you, the Pacific in front, and your people close.

Signature Details That Stay With You
The Power of Effortless
Some places make weddings a production.
Ours feel inevitable: like everything simply falls into place.
No transfers. No juggling vendors. No background noise.
Just the quiet assurance that every detail has already been handled.
When your surroundings do the work, you get to be present.
That’s the luxury we offer.
Beyond the Ceremony
Extend the celebration beyond a single day.
Signature Wedding Experiences
For couples who want to extend the celebration, we offer a curated collection of signature experiences rooted in Sustainability, Culture, Wellness, and Romance.
Host a dance class. Learn to prepare ceviche with our chefs. Begin the day with private yoga. Sail at sunset. Walk the rainforest with one of our Naturalist Guides.
Lucrecia will recommend what fits your style and guest list — only what enhances the way you want to celebrate.

A Preferred Stay for Your Guests
Keep Everyone Close & Right on the Beach
Because when everyone stays together, the experience changes.
You’re inviting your closest people into a shared, beachfront experience — where rehearsal dinners flow into sunset swims, where morning coffee turns into wildlife sightings, and where no one disappears to an off-site hotel at the end of the night.
For Wildly Wed couples and their guests, we extend preferred wedding room privileges.
One place. One setting. No one scattered across town.
When you stay 4 nights or more:
Up to $400 in Wildlife Season
Up to $500 in High Season

The Setting and the Service
Playitas Beach — Private by Nature
A ceremony by the ocean. A reception framed by rainforest and open sky. No borrowed venues, no public beaches — just your space, held for you.
Our in-house team handles everything:
- Event design
- Chef-led menus
- Spa
- Floral
- Music
- Guest logistics
There’s nothing to coordinate, nothing to fix later. It runs itself — that’s the point.
Transparency
Couples typically invest between $8,000 and $18,000 for a complete ceremony and reception experience.
