Sleek Contemporary Costa Rica Villa With Infinity Pool and 360° Views from VILLAWAY®

This strikingly tiered modernist sanctuary stands as a bit of a marvel even by the high standards of Peninsula Papagayo. While many properties in this corner of Costa Rica try to blend into the trees, this residence makes a point of rising above them, offering a design that is as much a conversation piece as it is a home. It is available only for exclusive use, meaning you won’t be sharing the hammam with anyone you haven't personally invited. With six en-suite bedrooms capable of hosting sixteen guests, it is perfectly sorted for a multi-generational takeover or a getaway with your most discerning friends, with every room oriented toward a view of the Pacific that looks like a high-definition screen saver.

The lifestyle here revolves around the ritual of the long, slow meal. You have a private chef on hand who is quite a whiz with the local catch; if you haven't tried snapper pulled from the water that morning and prepared with a bit of local lime and chili, you haven't lived. You can choose to dine in the sleek, glass-walled dining room or move outside to the terrace to catch the breeze. By late afternoon, the house tradition dictates a round of cocktails by the infinity pool. It would be entirely poor form to decline, especially when the sun begins its dramatic descent into the sea. For those who take their relaxation seriously, the on-site spa facilities—complete with a proper hammam—provide a level of pampering that usually requires a trek to a five-star hotel.

As a local, I can tell you that the real secret to the region's famous longevity—this is a "Blue Zone," after all—isn't just the diet; it’s the pace. Your concierge is essentially a walking encyclopedia of the peninsula and can arrange everything from surf lessons at Witch’s Rock to a quiet morning exploring the dry tropical forest trails where the monkeys are far more active than the tourists. If you prefer to stay closer to home, the estate is kitted out with a private gym for the energetic, a game room for the restless, and a proper movie theater for those evenings when the jungle sounds aren't quite enough entertainment.

The property is situated in a way that feels entirely private, yet you are minutes away from the peninsula’s championship golf and the beach clubs. It captures that rare balance of architectural drama and genuine warmth, making it an ideal base for exploring the wilder side of the coast without ever having to sacrifice a crisp linen sheet or a perfectly chilled glass of wine. It is a sophisticated, highly functional retreat that proves you can indeed have it all: the rugged, untamed beauty of the Costa Rican coast and a laundry room that actually works.
