Tulemar spans 33 acres of lush jungle in Manuel Antonio and offers over 50 privately owned villas and bungalows alongside its own secluded beach. Its wedding programme — coordinated through specialist planner Destination Occasions — accommodates up to 40 guests for ceremonies on Tulemar Beach under palm-canopied skies, giving couples a residential-scale privacy that larger resorts can't replicate.
Tulemar is not a hotel in the conventional sense — it is a 33-acre private residential community, spread across the jungle above Manuel Antonio, whose 50-plus villa and bungalow owners make their properties available for guests to rent. The effect is more like borrowing a friend's well-staffed jungle house than checking into a resort: each villa is distinct, the grounds are dense with wildlife, and the private Tulemar Beach at the bottom of the property is shared but never crowded.
For weddings, the capacity tops at 40 guests — and that ceiling is not a limitation so much as a design choice, keeping ceremonies appropriately intimate for the beach setting and the residential scale of the resort. Destination Occasions, the designated wedding planner, coordinates everything from the officiant and florals to photography and transportation. Honeymooners benefit from a complimentary Wine & Chocolates package on stays of four nights or more. Between ceremonies, morning paddleboarding, guided sloth walks at The Sloth Institute, and evening cocktails while coatis wander the paths make the days feel full without ever feeling programmed.
