Sophisticated Oceanfront Villa With Private Pool, Jacuzzi & Pacific Views from VILLAWAY®

This sprawling modernist coastal estate is a 5,500-square-foot masterclass in mid-century poise, standing as a sharp, sophisticated contrast to the wild, tangled beauty of the Guanacaste coastline. For those who find the typical tropical "bamboo-and-thatch" aesthetic a bit too predictable, this residence is a breath of fresh, salty air. It is a gallery of 20th-century design, where the clean lines of Eames, Saarinen, and Le Corbusier sit comfortably alongside wide-angle views of the Pacific. It’s located in the most prestigious enclave of Costa Rica, a place where the infrastructure is as polished as the custom cabinetry and the morning traffic consists entirely of a few sluggish iguanas and the occasional troop of howler monkeys debating their breakfast options.

Inside, the home manages the clever trick of being both a social hub and a series of private retreats. With four designer bedrooms and nine beds, it can accommodate sixteen guests without anyone feeling like they’re tripping over one another. There is even a private suite with its own lounge and kitchenette for those who require a bit of extra distance from the morning's group coffee faff. The bathrooms are essentially private spas, featuring smart toilets that are likely more intelligent than your first computer and a master bath with a steam shower that offers a view of the ocean that is, frankly, quite distracting. If you must work, the master retreat comes with a private office, though staying focused while the floor-to-ceiling windows frame the turquoise horizon is a challenge even for the most disciplined.

The outdoor setup is where the "luxury" aspect stops being a brochure word and starts being a lived reality. The infinity pool appears to pour directly into the bay, and the jacuzzi is perfectly angled for what locals know is the real show: the sunrise. While most of the world is still hitting snooze, you can be out there watching the sky turn a violent shade of pink over the water. The terrace is fully sorted for entertaining, boasting a teppanyaki grill and a massive 36-inch gas grill for those who take their al fresco dining seriously. There’s even a ping pong table for those who enjoy a bit of competitive spirit under the sun.

When the sun finally dips, the entertainment moves to the 98-inch home theater, which, paired with the Bang & Olufsen surround sound, is probably better than your local cinema back home. Or, if you’re feeling more traditional, you might have someone tinkle the keys of the baby grand piano while the dedicated concierge team handles the logistics of your next day. Being a guest here means you have the keys to the Prieta Beach Club and the Arnold Palmer golf course, which is essentially the gold standard for sport in the region. As a local, I’d suggest you spend your mornings exploring the hidden coves of the peninsula and your afternoons taking a golf cart down to the club for a chilled drink. It’s a sophisticated, flawlessly executed escape where the architecture is grand, but the natural scenery remains the undisputed star of the show.
