The story
Hillside weddings above Culebra Bay
Andaz Peninsula Papagayo stands on a hillside of the Peninsula Papagayo, a large private reserve on the Guanacaste coast, looking down over Culebra Bay and three beaches. The architecture leans on glass, timber and natural materials, with an open, treehouse-like feel that suits the forested slope, and wildlife is a regular part of the setting.
The main ceremony space is El Jardín, a terraced garden with views over the bay and the surrounding forest. It is listed at about 1,392 square metres, which makes it the largest of the outdoor areas. Alongside it are a dedicated beach house of about 929 square metres, a pool terrace of around 557 square metres that works comfortably for groups of 50 to 200, and bay-view event studios that can be used for ceremonies or receptions. Nearby beaches are another option for the vows.
