Las Palapas & Beach Club Garden & Hacienda Pinilla

Located within the exclusive gated community of Hacienda Pinilla, Las Palapas is a stunning venue that offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and event-ready convenience. With two spacious palapas, lush tropical surroundings, and built-in bathroom facilities, this open-air setting is ideal for couples dreaming of an elegant yet relaxed celebration by the sea.
The area is home to a variety of incredible villas, ranging from beachfront properties where the ocean is just steps from your door, to hillside homes with sweeping views of the Pacific. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, there are plenty of options to suit your style and guest count.

Las Palapas is large enough to host your entire wedding day—from the ceremony to cocktail hour and a full reception under the stars. With a natural, tropical feel and plenty of space for seating, dancing, and dining, it’s perfect for anything from boho-chic to upscale beach-inspired events.
For couples looking for a more custom flow, Las Palapas can also be used just for the ceremony, or for the ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by a reception at one of the beautiful nearby villas within Hacienda Pinilla.

Ceremonies at Las Palapas take place within the venue’s shaded, open-air area, surrounded by palm trees and ocean breezes. It’s a peaceful and picturesque location, just steps from the shoreline but set entirely off the sand for added comfort and ease.

Receptions at Las Palapas can be hosted under the palapas themselves or throughout the open-air space surrounding them. With lighting, décor, and creative layouts, the space transforms beautifully for dining and dancing in a vibrant, tropical atmosphere.

For a more intimate or alternative venue within the same community, the Beach Club Garden is a grassy, open-air space located beside the oceanfront—but not directly on the beach and without sand. It's a lovely option for couples who want an outdoor celebration near the coast, while maintaining a clean and accessible setting. While it’s slightly smaller and more public than Las Palapas, the garden still offers a charming backdrop with palm trees, fresh ocean air, and close proximity to the Beach Club amenities.

Hacienda Pinilla offers a variety of villas and vacation rentals perfect for hosting your guests, from beachfront estates to spacious homes nestled in nature. For those seeking a resort experience, the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa, located within the community, offers luxury accommodations, full amenities, and convenient access to both Las Palapas and the Beach Club Garden.
