Templīs Aquaria — Puerto Rico’s Premier Destination Wedding Sanctuary
Nestled in the misty mountains of Orocovis, Templīs Aquaria stands as Puerto Rico’s most unique, exclusive, and sought-after wedding venue—an invitation-only, off-grid eco-sanctuary reserved for couples seeking a once-in-a-lifetime, deeply intentional wedding experience.
This is not a resort.
Not a hacienda.
Not a traditional venue.
Templīs Aquaria is protected sacred land, where four rivers converge, waterfalls awaken after the rains, wildlife roams freely, and every ceremony is lovingly crafted with presence and purpose.
We accept only a very limited number of aligned couples each year to preserve the sanctity of this land and ensure that every wedding we host feels deeply personal, awe-inspiring, and unforgettable.
If your love feels reverent, wild, spiritual, or profoundly intentional—then you may be the type of couple we welcome into this sanctuary.
🌿 What Makes Templīs Aquaria the #1 Most Unique Wedding Venue in Puerto Rico
✨ The Four Rivers Ceremony (Exclusive to Our Sanctuary)
Nowhere else on Earth can you experience this ritual.
Four rivers flow from the cardinal directions through our land.
Each partner collects water from these rivers the day before their ceremony, merging them into a Unity in Flow ritual that symbolizes union, blessing, and ancestral alignment.
✨ Riverfront Ceremony Deck
Suspended above a rainforest stream, framed by ancient stones and lush jungle—an ethereal setting for intimate vows.
✨ Seasonal 90-Foot Waterfall (Natural Phenomenon)
After tropical rains, a dramatic 90-foot cascade appears behind the ceremony deck.
It is one of the most jaw-dropping natural wedding backdrops in Puerto Rico.
✨ Year-Round 70-Foot Waterfall
A breathtaking waterfall just a short walk away, flowing all year and offering cinematic photo opportunities.
✨ Jungle Rope Bridge Photo Moment
A magical, storybook setting and a guest favorite for portraits.
✨ Spring-Water Jungle Baths Under the Stars
The night before your wedding, soak in natural spring water surrounded by rainforest and starlight—an unforgettable pre-ceremony ritual that brides call transformative.
✨ Beloved Wildlife Community
Shiva & Shakti the peacocks, our fluffy-footed chickens (“The DeFi Chicks”), and our wild duck Mrs. Waddles—who chose this land as her forever home.
Every creature contributes to the sanctuary’s magic.
✨ Off-Grid Eco-Luxury
Solar-powered.
Spring-water fed.
Sustainable by design.
A pure return to nature—without sacrificing comfort.

Unforgettable Venue, Incredible Hosts, The Perfect Wedding!
Kalina and Dominick, the owners, were absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process and on the day of the wedding. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel completely relaxed and confident that everything would be perfect. They went above and beyond to accommodate our wishes, ensuring that every aspect of our ceremony and reception was tailored to our preferences. Their dedication and hospitality truly made us feel like we were their only clients.
The setting itself was picturesque—an intimate, peaceful location that offered both privacy and natural beauty. The sounds of the waterfall and the fresh mountain air created an ambience that was both soothing and invigorating. Our guests were captivated by the natural surroundings, and many remarked that it was the most unique and beautiful wedding they had ever attended.
The entire experience was flawless, from the scenic outdoor ceremony to the charming elegance of the reception area. The natural environment provided the perfect canvas for our vows, and the photos taken here are absolutely stunning. We were able to enjoy our special day in a tranquil, awe-inspiring location that truly felt like a fairytale.
We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate wedding venue nestled in nature’s splendor. Kalina and Dominick’s incredible hospitality, combined with the breathtaking mountain scenery and waterfall, made our wedding day a dream come true. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will cherish forever. It was the best decision we made for our big day!
A Hidden Gem That Made Our Wedding Unforgettable
The property itself is full of charm and character. Our guests loved exploring and interacting with the animals, and we had so much fun watching the male peacock showing off to the chickens! There are also two beautiful waterfalls on-site, adding even more to the serene and picturesque setting. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and we stayed for four wonderful days along with two other couples.
Kalina and Dominick are truly exceptional hosts. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch. Throughout the planning process, they were incredibly supportive, especially when tough decisions came up. Kalina was especially helpful, offering transparent advice and trusted contacts for catering, music, photography, and florals. She didn’t just suggest vendors; she gave honest feedback about who was more affordable and who delivered the best quality. She’s professional, organized, and always quick to respond.
If you're considering having your wedding here, do it! You’ll be in excellent hands, and the memories you make will be unforgettable.
My dream wedding in such a divine place 🌳
Our wedding and our stay were both magical and meaningful. The peaceful atmosphere of the venue brought a sense of calm that made our ceremony and time there even more special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful and serene experience—and we are already planning to return for our next trip to Puerto Rico.
Our entire experience was not only pleasant but also deeply personal. Kalina, thank you♥️
Spectacular Venue and Hosts!
MAGICAL beyond our wildest dreams!!!!
I’ve poured so much of my heart and soul into this land, curating every detail, building every structure, growing the gardens, welcoming the peacocks, and dreaming into being a space that could hold love in its truest, wildest, most sacred form.
But experiencing it as a BRIDE… changed everything.
From the moment I walked down the garden isle on my wedding day, I felt like I was stepping into a dream I didn’t even realize we had fully brought to life. The sound of the river beneath the ceremony deck, the soft wind through the trees, our animals wandering freely as if they were guests… it was all so alive. Sacred, playful, peaceful. Just… right.
The Four Rivers Ceremony, which I had envisioned so long ago, felt even more powerful in practice. Collecting the water from our land, merging it with Dominick, and beginning our marriage with that ritual, it rooted me in a way I’ll never forget.
I saw my guests truly relax, connect, breathe deeper and light up with the magic in the air. People danced barefoot under the bistro lights all night, sipped from crystal goblets, and told us over and over that it felt like they were part of something ancient and meaningful and completely blown away by its fairytale like ambience.
Even though I built this place (alongside my husband Dominick), I was still surprised by how it held me. And that’s the magic of Templīs Aquaria, it gives back. It’s so alive. It meets you where you are, and it celebrates your love with you in a warm embrace of natures sounds...
To anyone considering this venue: just know that it’s not a typical wedding venue...and that’s the point. It’s for couples who want connection, nature, freedom, and soul. And I’m so honored to share it now not just as a host, but as someone who stood in the center of it, heart wide open, and said YES!
I hope each couple has the same magical and mystical experience at our venue and take home the sweetest of once in a lifetime memories!
With deepest love,
Kalina Lux

Nuestro Paraíso Perfecto!
Perfect Elopement Location in the Heart of Puerto Rico
My husband and I eloped at this beautiful Airbnb in Orocovis, Puerto Rico this past February, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. Nestled in the serene mountains and near a stunning waterfall, the property offered us the perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty, creating a peaceful, intimate setting for our ceremony.
From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the right place. The property was exceptionally maintained, with gorgeous scenery and a variety of wildlife that made it feel alive and vibrant. A highlight was the presence of one of the peacocks during our ceremony—it stayed close the entire time, adding a unique touch to our special day.
The communication with the host was fantastic. She was quick to respond, helpful, and made sure that every detail was taken care of. Her passion for the land and her hospitality truly enhanced our experience.
The roads leading up to the property are a bit winding, so drive with caution & honk your horn, especially around the tight corners. But once you arrive, you’ll find yourself in a secluded paradise that’s worth the trip. We can’t wait to return and relive the memories we created here.
Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat or a unique elopement location. 10/10.
Wow factor = off the charts!
We had never seen the venue before so took a leap of faith, but when we arrived after a long flight from San Francisco we were completely blown away! We had a small destination wedding and reception, and it was truly the most magnificent and magical night of our lives. We got to spend 4 nights in this magical place, which helped us ease into the ceremony, make sure everything flowed well, and enjoy the process.
Kalina & Dominick were outstanding, helping me along the way with my 10,000 bits on anxiety I had. The venue is personal, authentic, down to earth and WILD, yet so so gorgeous. Statues of the greek water bearers through out, the tropical flowers, the herb gardens, the chickens/ Shiva and outdoor tubs made this like a fairytale honeymoon and wedding all in one! We fell in love over and over again with this venue.
10000 stars out of 10! Highly recommend!!!
