Take the whole hotel

Nine rooms, one infinity pool and one kitchen team — yours alone. Weddings, retreats and celebrations, 300 feet above the Pacific.

The Full Buyout

One booking, the entire property

El Castillo is small enough that a single group can have all of it. Nine rooms, the infinity pool, the open-air restaurant and the spa, with a team that looks after your group and no one else for as long as you stay. It is the difference between holding an event at a hotel and holding it in a place that is, for that week, simply yours.

Dining, tailored to you

The kitchen works to your group

One chef, one kitchen and one group to cook for. Menus are built around your party rather than a hotel service — rehearsal dinners, long lunches between sessions, or a week of set menus agreed in advance.

Concierge planning

We plan it with you

Your host coordinates the whole thing — local vendors, on-site activities, off-site adventures and the run of the week. Planning support is complimentary, and many groups arrange everything from abroad without ever seeing the place first.
