Venues and villas
Choosing the venue
The venue sets the mood, the guest count and half of the plan. Here's how each type works.
The options
- Villas and pool homes: room for everyone, a pool and privacy. Best for a weekend.
- Rentals: easy for smaller groups. Check that events are allowed.
- Private dining rooms: a sit-down dinner without strangers at the next table.
- Rooftops and bars: a reserved area for a night out with views.
- Event spaces: for a large guest list, decor and a dance floor.
- Boats: a day on the water for a smaller group, with a licensed captain.
Check before you book
- The maximum number of guests.
- Whether events, visitors and music are allowed, and until when.
- Parking, and how guests will get there.
- What's included: tables, chairs, kitchen, cleaning.
- The cancellation policy and the weather plan.

Quick answers
Can we have a party at an Airbnb?
Only if the host allows events. Many don't, so ask first and get the answer in writing.
How far ahead should we book a venue?
As early as you can for weekends and holidays, especially in winter and spring.
