A Yucatan hacienda, a Costa Rican jungle villa, a Tuscan castle, and an Australian mountain haven, four new wedding estates abroad, now booking on WedStay.

This issue went to our couples list on June 2, 2026. Prices and offers were current on that date; each estate page shows today’s pricing.

Howler monkeys at sunrise in the Costa Rican hills. Palm shadows across a Yucatan courtyard. Candlelight in a Tuscan castle older than most countries. Your wedding does not have to happen down the street — and this week, four new estates abroad just opened for booking.

Four countries, one idea: rent the whole place, bring everyone you love, and turn a wedding day into a wedding week. A Yucatan hacienda outside Merida, a Costa Rican jungle villa, a historic castle near Siena, and a mountain haven in the Australian hinterland.
