Villa Espada · Expert Comparisons
An 8-bedroom estate can flex to your group size. Here is the honest 6-bedroom versus full 8-bedroom choice at Villa Espada — and how to pick.
Villa Espada can be booked as a 6-bedroom configuration for smaller groups or as the full 8-bedroom estate for up to 22 guests. The choice comes down to party size and budget: the 6-bedroom rate is the entry point, while the full estate opens all 8 bedrooms and the complete run of the property. This page is about that configuration choice; for per-person group math, see the group villa guide.
| Configuration | Rates (from) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 6-bedroom configuration | $2,500 low / $4,000 peak / $7,500 holiday | Smaller golf groups, two or three families |
| Full 8-bedroom estate | $3,000 low / $4,500 peak / $8,500 holiday | Up to 22 guests — large families, milestones, corporate retreats |
| Either way you get | Full staff, two golf carts (two more available to rent at $75/day each), member golf | 9 full and 2 half baths, two pools, 16-person hot tub, over 15,000 sq ft |
Villa Espada is the 6- or 8-bedroom estate on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada — booked as a 6-bedroom configuration from $2,500 a night or as the full estate for up to 22 guests. Both include a private chef, butler, daily maids, a driver, and two golf carts; minimum stays run 3, 5, and 7 nights by season. See the rates page and the villa for the full picture.
Start with the guest list, then work back to the configuration. If your party is a golf foursome or two, or two or three families traveling together, the six-bedroom configuration usually covers it at the lower entry rate while still including the full staff, golf carts, and member tee times. If you are bringing the whole extended family, a wedding party, or a corporate group, the full eight-bedroom estate opens every room and the complete run of the property.
Then factor season and minimums. Low-season stays require four nights, peak season five, and holidays seven, with food billed at cost plus service. Because the difference between the six-bedroom and full-estate rates is modest relative to the extra capacity and space, larger groups almost always find the full estate the better value once the party approaches the high teens. When in doubt, size up — the shared space pays for itself on a group trip.
Whichever configuration you choose, the inclusions do not change: a private chef, a butler and villa manager, daily maid service, a driver, two six-person golf carts, and Punta Espada member-guest discounted golf rate all come with the estate. The decision is purely about how much of the house you need open for your party, which makes it one of the simpler choices in planning the trip — size to the guest list and everything else stays the same.
