Some trips are built to be big. And we don’t mean “fancy” big, we mean a house full of people, ready to celebrate the stuff that actually matters: weddings, milestones, and those epic get-togethers. For moments like that, you just need a place that fits everyone. Somewhere the party and the vacation happen in the same spot, and everyone has their own space while still being under one roof.

That's exactly what we had in mind when we put this list together, so if you have a big event coming up and need a villa that works for 20 people or more, here are our top five picks.

Tulum Bay Estate
Soliman Bay, Tulum, Riviera Maya | 21 bedrooms | Up to 60 guests

If you've ever tried to book somewhere for 60 people and had a small breakdown, this one's for you. Tulum Bay Estate is actually two beachfront villas on Soliman Bay that come together as one estate, the largest private retreat in the bay, sleeping up to 60 guests across 21 bedrooms.

Two pools, direct beach access, a chef, and a full staff. No one gets left out, no one shares a bathroom they didn't agree to share. It's the go-to for big weddings, corporate retreats, and multigenerational reunions where scale actually matters.

Playacar Vista Estate
Playacar Phase I, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Mexico
42 Guests | 16 Bedrooms | 16.5 Bathrooms

Every group has the ones who want to spend the whole day at the pool and the ones who are already googling what's on Fifth Avenue to party all night. Playacar Vista Estate is the villa that makes both camps happy without anyone having to negotiate.

Up to 42 guests across two side-by-side villas in Playacar Phase I, with rooftop pools and ocean views for the stay-in crowd, and Playa del Carmen's restaurants, bars, and shopping just ten minutes on foot for everyone else. Everyone does their thing, everyone ends up back at the same beautiful place at the end of the night, and nobody has to compromise to get there.

Villa Tulkal
Tulum, Riviera Maya | 8 bedrooms | Up to 24 guests

Not everyone in your group wants the same thing on vacation, and if you stay on Villa Tulkal, nobody has to settle. Nestled within the Conrad Resort complex near Tulum, it sleeps up to 24 guests and comes with a game room, a bar and grill, chef service, and access to the resort's beach club and restaurants next door.

Those who want to stay in will never run out of reasons to, and the ones who want more just walk next door. Either way, everyone gets the trip they actually wanted.

Onze
Xpu-Ha, Riviera Maya | 7 bedrooms | Up to 23 guests

Some groups don't want to spend the whole trip deciding what to do next, and at Onze they won't have to.

Set in the jungle of Xpu-Ha, this place has its own private cenote, a yoga studio, a pickleball court, a movie room, and a half-moon bar, all within the same property. So whether your group shows up looking for a wellness reset, a big birthday celebration, or a full destination wedding with up to 150 guests, there's already a plan waiting for them.

Puerto Estate
Puerto Aventuras, Riviera Maya | 11 bedrooms | Up to 22 guests

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a large group is take all the logistics off the table, and that's exactly what Puerto Estate does. Sitting right on the beach in Puerto Aventuras, it sleeps up to 22 guests across 11 bedrooms, has a three-way infinity pool, and a chef who takes care of every meal from breakfast to dinner, so the group just shows up and everything is already running smoothly.

And for anyone who wants to venture out, the village is a five-minute walk with restaurants, a marina, and golf right there. The hard part is already done before you even arrive.
