A pause in time —
where love is witnessed.
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. Beneath the cedars or along the ocean's edge. Your day, entirely yours.
Elopements & Intimate Ceremonies
Villa Sol offers a private, nature-infused elopement experience that blends simplicity, serenity, and soul. Whether you arrive just the two of you, or with a handful of people who matter most, the focus is always on presence, peace, and meaning.
Every detail is held with care so you can simply be — together — as the waves mark your moment.
More than a ceremony — a moment to remember.
This is more than a quick escape. It's the start of your shared story — where time slows and love takes centre stage.
Ceremony Spaces
Four distinct settings. All of them feel sacred.
🌊
The Ocean's EdgeStone steps leading to the water. The Pacific as your backdrop. Exchange vows with the tide moving below you and the horizon stretching to nothing.
🌲
The Cedar GroveOld-growth cedars and firs create a natural canopy. Filtered light, forest quiet, and the scent of the coast. Intimate and sheltered.
🌅
The Wraparound DeckThe Streams of Consciousness Garden — lavender, rosemary, creeping thyme, and stone. A winding rock garden flowing toward the ocean below.
🌿
The Garden LawnOcean views from three directions. The 180° panorama that guests describe as unreal. Sunrise ceremonies here are something else entirely.

Build the day you've imagined.
Every add-on is available à la carte or can be built into a customised elopement package. Mix and match what feels right for you.
🍽
Private Chef Dinner
The signature feature of the Eagle View Suite. Firewood is provided. The only wood-burning fireplace among the four suites — it changes an evening entirely.
🌸
Floral Design
Floral arch, seasonal bouquet, or simple arrangements designed to complement the natural setting rather than compete with it. Coordinated through our local floral partners.
🤍
Couples Massage
A private couples massage to begin or close the day. Offered by our trusted practitioners in the experience room or a suite, with ocean light and complete privacy.
🕯
Candlelight Bathtub Soak
Your suite prepared with candlelight, botanicals, and a drawn bath — a quiet moment of celebration for just the two of you at the close of the day.
🎵
Sound Bowl Ceremony
Crystal alchemy sound journey or guided meditation woven into your ceremony or held as a private experience for the two of you. Offered by Suzette Alvarez.
🛏
Overnight Stay
A two-night oceanfront stay in your chosen suite — waking up on the Sunshine Coast the morning after your ceremony. The thermal circuit, the ocean, and nowhere to be.
How the Day Unfolds
A day shaped around you — not around logistics.
This is how a Villa Sol elopement tends to feel, moment by moment. Not a schedule — a sense of the day's rhythm.
Morning
Arrival & Settling
You arrive to the property. The coast is already doing its work. Coffee on the deck. The ocean in front of you. Whatever nerves arrived with you begin to soften in the salt air and the quiet.
Before
Private time together
Time set aside just for you — to get ready, to be still, to feel the significance of the day without rushing toward it. This is not dead time. It's the ceremony before the ceremony.
The ceremony
Your vows, in this place
At your chosen space — the ocean's edge, the cedar grove, the deck, the garden. The officiant, the words you've chosen, and the sound of the coast as witness. Unhurried. Entirely yours.
After
Celebrating, slowly
Champagne. Photographs if you want them. A walk along the 425-foot shoreline. The thermal circuit. A private chef dinner on the deck as the light changes. Or simply nothing — just being together in this place for as long as it lasts.
Yours alone
The night
The property is yours. The hot tub at midnight. The fire pit. The sound of the ocean from your suite. The day doesn't end — it just becomes evening, then night, then tomorrow morning on the Sunshine Coast.
GUEST REVIEWS
We chose Villa Sol for our elopement and it was the best decision. We loved the suite, the views were amazing, and Suzette was super responsive and helpful. Undoubtedly the best views on the coast.Don & Mia · Vancouver
A Renewal of Connection
Not through fixing or forcing, but by slowing down enough to really see and be seen. It's the kind of change that unfolds gently — in stillness, shared understanding, and the courage to choose closeness over distraction.
Whether you're dreaming of a quiet ceremony at sunrise or a golden-hour vow exchange by the sea — Villa Sol offers a setting that feels sacred, soulful, and entirely yours.
It's a quiet renewal in how you meet each other.
Villa Sol also hosts elopements for couples renewing vows, and intimate wedding celebrations of up to 20 day guests.
