With 10,000+ sq ft of indoor-outdoor living space across the main house and separate casita, the property features beautiful ocean views, a massive infinity pool, hot tub, multiple outdoor living areas, game room, and chef-style kitchen, and daily housekeeping. Located in gated Monte Bello, you’re just 3 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from Coco, and 30 minutes from LIR Airport.

Monte Bello is an exclusive gated residential community perched above Playa Hermosa, offering privacy, security, and elevated ocean views while remaining close to the area’s best beaches and amenities. Guests enjoy quick access to Playa Hermosa’s calm swimming beach, beachfront restaurants, cafés, and sunset dining, while Playas del Coco — just 10 minutes away — offers grocery stores, nightlife, shopping, tours, fishing charters, and additional dining options.
The location also makes an ideal home base for exploring Guanacaste, with waterfalls, volcano adventures, national parks, catamaran tours, scuba diving, and hot springs all within day-trip distance. Guanacaste Airport (LIR) is conveniently located just 30 minutes from the property.
Guests have private access of the villa and casita.
Villa Bella Grande was designed to feel like a private boutique resort for families and groups traveling together. The estate combines expansive gathering spaces with private bedroom retreats, allowing guests to spread out comfortably across the main house and detached casita.

Inside, the main house features soaring ceilings, oversized living spaces, a chef-style kitchen with premium appliances, and a second-floor entertainment lounge with pool table and foosball.

Our stay, and overall experience at Villa Bella Grande, was beyond exceptional! The house design, the pool, the furnishings, the view, the cleanliness, the linens, the well equipped kitchen and proximity to the beaches were all top notch and exactly as shown in photos and described in the listing. We felt spoiled with the thorough daily cleaning, included in the price, and it was unexpectedly wonderful to have. The property hosts were friendly, helpful, professional and quick to respond to all our questions and inquiries. This experience has definitely raised the bar when renting anywhere in the future and we will definitely try to rebook this villa again the next time we visit.
