Tucked in the Blue Ridge, Reserved for the rare.

A private wedding-weekend estate in Candler, North Carolina — where mountain air, open skies, and quiet luxury set the rhythm for a celebration that unfolds over days, not hours.

Welcome to Caya Azul, a 17-acre mountain retreat bordering Pisgah National Forest. Designed for wedding weekends and intimate gatherings, the estate invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and linger a little longer.

Today’s couples want more than a timeline — they want time.
Time to arrive, exhale, and actually be there.
To turn a single event into an experience shared with the people who matter most.

A wedding weekend offers what traditional venues can’t: space to settle in, connect, and celebrate without hurry.
It’s the difference between rushing through a schedule and remembering how it felt.

At Caya Azul, that’s exactly what we’ve created — a place where the celebration stretches into morning coffee on the porch, sunset cocktails by the pond, and the quiet joy of waking up still surrounded by your favorite people.

For couples who value intimacy, design, and meaning over production, a wedding weekend just makes sense.
And in the mountains of Candler, it finally feels possible.


As part of the Haiku AVL Family, Caya Azul extends the same philosophy of intentional design and effortless hospitality — now translated to the mountains.
