A private beachfront estate on Banderas Bay — and one of Puerto Vallarta's only beachfront wedding venues, hosting cocktail-style receptions for up to 200 guests. Eight suites, a private chef, three cascading event terraces.
Casa Karma is a full-property retreat for one group at a time — 10,000 square feet of terraces stepping down the hillside to a semi-private cove, with an infinity pool suspended over the bay and an on-site team that has hosted stays and celebrations here for years.
It is a house, not a hotel: a chef who cooks to your table, staff who know the property's rhythms, and the galleries and restaurants of Puerto Vallarta five minutes away — close enough for dinner in town, far enough to hear only the surf.
"Casa Karma does not approach perfection. It is perfection."
Mark P · TripAdvisor guest review
Beachfront venues that can seat a wedding of this size are nearly impossible to find in Puerto Vallarta. Casa Karma is the exception: three cascading, fully private event terraces directly above the sand — ceremony, reception and after-party flowing down the hillside to the sea, with your closest guests sleeping on site.
The grand stage — a stunning oceanfront setting directly above the beach with uninterrupted views of the bay and direct beach access. Its unique stone labyrinth, modeled after Chartres Cathedral, becomes the ceremonial focal point, then a dance floor as night falls.
The versatile centre of the celebration — receptions, cocktail hours and seated dinners with sweeping ocean views, served by a dedicated bar area, adjacent air-conditioned restrooms and a dedicated dressing room for the couple.
The intimate one — a stamped concrete terrace with a beautiful cantera fountain, lush tropical planting, its own full bar, an event kitchen and a signature orchid wall, all with expansive ocean views. Lounge seating and cocktail tables for welcome parties, or a quiet corner while the labyrinth roars below.
The same three beachfront terraces host milestone birthdays, anniversaries, corporate retreats, welcome dinners and vow renewals — with the labyrinth turning into a lit dance floor, mariachis by the fountain, and dinner served as the fireworks rise over the bay.
Casa Karma offers a spectacular oceanfront event setting with a multi-level terrace, making it an exceptional backdrop for weddings, celebrations and private events. All three terrace levels offer breathtaking ocean views and provide distinct spaces for different elements of your event.
All events require an 8-bedroom, full-house buyout with a minimum stay of 4 consecutive nights (7 nights if the event falls in the Christmas/New Year period), and event capacity includes the guests staying at the villa. October weddings may be booked with a 3-night minimum stay; please note that October falls within the region's rainy season. Cocktail-style receptions welcome up to 200 guests; the suggested sit-down dinner capacity is 100–120 guests. All event fees are subject to an additional 16% VAT.
Guest capacity will vary based on factors such as: seated dinner vs. cocktail-style reception; dance floor requirements; stage or entertainment setup; tables, chairs and other event furnishings; and guest circulation and overall event layout. For events exceeding 100 guests, please consult with your professional event planner to determine the appropriate capacity based on the proposed floor plan and event setup. Final event capacity is subject to the approved event layout and applicable property requirements.
Quiet hours & residential setting. Casa Karma is located in a residential area. All events must conclude by 11:00 p.m. Event guests and event-related activities are not permitted on the property after this time.
Professional event planner. A professional event planner is required for all events. You are welcome to select your own planner and vendors; Casa Karma does not require specific vendors and does not charge additional vendor fees. Contact us for more details on our event guidelines.
You wake to the bay. Coffee is already poured, fruit is already cut, and Chef Javier is asking what you feel like tomorrow. The table is set on the terrace; the day hasn't decided what it is yet, and neither have you.
Down the steps to the semi-private cove, back up for ceviche at the edge of the infinity pool. The bartender learns your order on day one; by day two it arrives unasked.
The sun drops into the Pacific, the grill is lit, and dinner keeps going until the fireworks rise over the bay. Nobody checks the time. That's the point.

Every bedroom is an ensuite retreat named for the gardens around it — six kings, including the Love Vine penthouse, one double-double suite and one double-queen suite. Each bedroom accommodates up to two overnight guests.

The crown of the villa — wraparound glass, a private balcony over the cove, and the estate's best sunset line.
A four-poster beneath vaulted ceilings, gallery walls, and the bay just past the glass.
Cool blues and soft light — a quiet corner of the estate with its own ensuite bath.
Sunrise tones and a furnished private terrace looking straight down the coastline.
White-on-white calm with two double beds, opening to a furnished ocean balcony above the bay.
Warm tones, a king bed and a palm-framed balcony hanging over the water.
Its own balcony above the cove — morning coffee with the whole bay below.
Two queen beds at garden level, steps from the plunge pool and the shaded atrium.
Chef Javier's menus move from coastal staples to delicacies like abalone, shaped to your table. A waiter and bartender keep the bar and poolside running.
Daily housekeeping and laundry service, with full staff and security on site — the property looked after quietly, around your days.
Excursions, yacht days, in-villa spa and private wellness sessions — arranged before you land and adjusted as the week unfolds.
The edge-less main pool hangs over the bay with terrace lounging around it; plunge pools cool the quieter corners of the estate.
Steps lead from the terraces to a semi-private cove on Conchas Chinas — golden sand, calm water, and an outdoor rinse shower on the way back up.

Puerto Vallarta's most coveted stretch of coastline: a hillside of villas above small golden beaches, minutes from the Romantic Zone yet worlds away in feel. Casa Karma sits right on the water — town is a five-minute drive, or a twenty-minute walk up the beach.

Up to 16 guests as standard across eight ensuite suites: the Love Vine penthouse king, five king suites, one double-double suite and one double-queen suite — named Orchid, Forget-me-not, Primavera, Agave, Morning Glory, Hibiscus, Bugambilia and Love Vine. On full-house bookings, up to two additional guests — 18 maximum — may be accommodated in the Agave Suite's double beds for an additional guest fee of $50 USD per person, per night, plus tax.
When booking the full house (8 bedrooms), up to two additional guests may be accommodated by sharing the existing double beds in the Agave Suite — an additional guest fee of $50 USD per person, per night, plus applicable tax, will apply. That takes Casa Karma from 16 guests as standard to an 18-guest maximum. Infants under two years old stay free of charge when sleeping in a crib; cribs and other baby equipment are not included with the villa rental and may be rented through the concierge. The final guest count must include all children and infants and is subject to the property's maximum occupancy and event capacity requirements.
