Experiences.
Vote for a local rescue. Choose the reason you would escape to Costa Rica. Then enter for a chance to turn a Castle of Oz stay into something extraordinary.
What would take you to the Castle?
A destination wedding. An anniversary. A milestone birthday. A bachelor or bachelorette trip. A family escape. A wellness retreat. Barks & Brides is built around the reason you would gather the people who matter and go somewhere unforgettable.
See what your Castle experience can become.
Real Castle of Oz experiences — weddings, retreats, celebrations and the private-estate setting that make a destination gathering feel entirely different from a traditional resort.
One campaign.
Three ways to win.
Turn your qualifying Castle stay into something extraordinary. Winning credits can be applied toward eligible Castle experiences, amenities, celebrations, excursions and enhancements.
Private.
Unforgettable.
Entirely yours.
A private luxury estate network on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast, The Castle of Oz hosts destination weddings, retreats, reunions and private group stays with ocean views, private-event spaces and concierge-led experiences. Across the full Castle property portfolio, up to 48 guests can stay within the Oz network. Larger groups can place remaining guests at sister boutique hotels while staying connected through the Oz Prize Advantage.
Castle properties accommodate up to 48 overnight guests. For larger wedding and celebration groups, additional guests can be booked at sister boutique hotels, allowing the winning credit and Castle experience to anchor a much larger destination gathering.
