Occasions at Villa Espada

One Estate, Every Kind of Group

One Private Estate, Built for Groups of 8 to 22

Villa Espada is a 15,000+ sq ft ocean-view private estate on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course, rented as a 6-bedroom villa for up to 16 guests or the full 8-bedroom estate for up to 22. Because the bedrooms convert between kings, twin-XL pairs and Murphy beds, the same house hosts a golf trip one week and a family reunion the next. Full staff comes with every booking: private chef, butler, daily housekeeping and a driver. The pages below explain how the estate works for each kind of trip, with capacity notes, sample itineraries and what your butler arranges.

Why a Private Estate Beats a Resort Block

What Every Occasion Shares

Whatever the occasion, the arithmetic is the same. A group of 16 to 22 in a Cap Cana hotel means eight to eleven rooms, separate dinner reservations every night and a beach club you share with strangers. At Villa Espada the whole group is under one roof, the chef cooks to your menu at cost plus a 15% service charge with no restaurant markup, and the two pools, 16-person hot tub, game room and terraces are private. Golfers play Punta Espada at the member-guest discounted rate, ranked #1 in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek for eight consecutive years, and Las Iguanas is two minutes away by cart at regular rates. Eden Roc Beach Club access is complimentary outside the Christmas, New Year and Easter blackout dates. Compare the numbers on the villa vs. hotel cost page, or check seasonal rates and bedroom configurations.

FAQ

Occasions at Villa Espada — Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests can Villa Espada host for an event or group trip?

Up to 22 guests overnight in the full 8-bedroom estate, or up to 16 in the 6-bedroom configuration. The base rate covers 16 guests; each guest from 17 to 22 adds $100 per person, per night. Eight en-suite bedrooms convert between king, twin-XL and Murphy-bed layouts, so the same house suits a golf group of 21 singles, 16 couples, or a multi-generational family.

What is included for every occasion?

Every stay includes a private chef for all meals, a personal butler, full daily maid service, a private driver with airport transfers, two 6-person golf carts, two swimming pools, a 16-person hot tub, and the Punta Espada member-guest discounted rate arranged by your butler. Food and groceries for chef-prepared meals are billed at cost plus a 15% service charge, with no restaurant markup.

Can Villa Espada host a wedding or a corporate event on site?

Yes. The estate is rented exclusively, so the terraces, pools, great room and dining spaces are yours for the ceremony, dinner or meetings. Overnight capacity is 22; for larger day-of guest lists, your butler coordinates with Cap Cana venues and vendors. See the destination weddings and corporate retreats pages for layouts and sample agendas.

What is the minimum stay?

Four nights in low season (May to October), five nights in peak season (November to April), and seven nights over Christmas, New Year and Semana Santa. Nightly rates start at $2,500 (6-bedroom) or $3,000 (8-bedroom) in low season; see the rates page for the full seasonal table.
