We came here to have a nice two-day getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. We realized two days wasn't long enough for this place, as in good weather we'd have liked to spend more time in the heated saltwater pool.

Answered by the venue in local hours. Our team picks up otherwise.
Asked along the way.
What is the ceremony capacity?+
Aethos can accommodate 20-150 guests depending on whether you utilize indoor event spaces, terraces, or a combination setup. Outdoor ceremonies leverage the cliff views, while indoor options provide weather backup.
Are accommodations included for guests?+
Yes. Aethos is a hotel, so guests stay on-property. Room rates vary by season and room type; coordinating room blocks for your wedding is standard practice.
What's the weather like for weddings?+
Late May through September offers the most reliable conditions (average 20-25°C). Atlantic wind can be strong year-round, so terraces may require windbreaks depending on your setup.
Can we have a ceremony outside?+
Yes. The clifftop terraces and ocean-facing areas are popular ceremony spots. The hotel works with you on setup, though weather contingency planning is essential.
Is this venue suitable for smaller weddings?+
Absolutely. With a 20-person minimum, intimate gatherings work well, and the hotel's scale doesn't overwhelm smaller groups the way larger resorts might.
