The Spirit of the Rainforest Village Event Site

Surrounded by forest and lake, and just three kilometers from the ocean, this 88-acre wildlife sanctuary offers a unique setting for a wide range of events.
At its core is the Spirit of the Rainforest Village, where gatherings unfold across the land, not confined to a single space.
We offer a variety of unique experiences within a true rainforest setting, where every part of the property becomes part of the event.
As a centerpiece, the Spirit of the Rainforest Village features a naturally built 300-seat amphitheatre, with a 600-year-old fir tree rising through the roof, creating a setting that feels both grounded and unforgettable.
Ruby Lake Resort is designed to host a wide range of experiences, including:
Wedding ceremonies and receptions
Destination weddings and full weekend celebrations
Corporate retreats, leadership retreats, and team-building experiences
Wellness retreats and group getaways
Family reunions and private celebrations
Bachelor and bachelorette gatherings
Events focused on food, music, art, and culture
Live music, performances, and concert-style events
Film screenings, documentary launches, and presentations
Workshops, creative residencies, and cultural experiences
The setting is especially suited for weddings, food-related events, retreats, live music gatherings, and creative productions where guests can stay on site, gather by the lake, and move freely between the forest and the Village.
We also welcome filmmakers, documentary makers, and short film creators. The property offers a unique setting to preview your project, host a screening, or celebrate a wrap party at the end of your production.

Culinary Experiences at the Core
Food plays a central role in every event.
Led by Chef Aldo and La Trattoria Italiana, events are fully catered, with menus designed around fresh, seasonal ingredients, bringing a true farm-to-table experience into every gathering.
From elegant seated dinners to relaxed outdoor feasts, food stations, wood-fired pizza, and shared meals, the culinary experience becomes part of the gathering itself.
Ruby Lake Resort specializes in weddings and food-related events where the meal is not separate from the event, but part of the memory.
Licensed, Zoned & Event-Ready
Ruby Lake Resort is fully licensed, fully catered, and zoned for events.
We can host ticketed gatherings, serve alcohol, and operate both private and public events in a professional and compliant way. This makes the property ideal not only for private celebrations, but also for curated small festivals, live music events, retreats, and organized productions.
With newly refreshed infrastructure and event equipment, the property is ready to support gatherings with comfort, flexibility, and professionalism.
