A private beachfront estate on Banderas Bay — and one of Puerto Vallarta's only beachfront wedding venues 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 — directly above the beach with uninterrupted views of the bay and direct beach access. Its 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 large full bar, adjacent restrooms and a dedicated dressing room for the couple.
The intimate one — a majestic fountain, lush tropical planting, its own full bar and a signature orchid wall. 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.
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.

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 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.
Garden-level ease, 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.
