Wake up to the Pacific from nearly every room of this architect-designed oceanfront villa in Playa Negra, on Costa Rica's Guanacaste coast.
Built in wood, stone and glass, the house opens completely to the sea, with a 20-meter infinity pool and sun deck overlooking the water and a private path down to the beach.
With six bedrooms sleeping up to twelve, Playa Negra Retreat is made for two or three families or a group traveling together — everyone gets space, and the open living and dining areas keep everyone together.
Daily housekeeping is included, and a dedicated concierge can arrange a private chef, surf lessons, yoga, boat days, massages or airport transfers, all quoted up front with no surprises.
The villa sits inside the gated community of Rancho Playa Negra, with 24/7 security and complete privacy.
Out front you'll find a surf reef and tide pools — ideal for surfers and beach walks — while the calm swimming beach is a short stroll along the shore. Wild horses wander the sand, and in season whales surface offshore.
Days here look like coffee on the rooftop at sunrise, the pool through the afternoon, and dinner on the terrace as the sun sets over the ocean.
Avellanas, Junquillal and Tamarindo, with their restaurants, surf breaks and shops, are all a short drive away.
A car (ideally a 4x4) is recommended, as the final roads into Playa Negra are unpaved and there's no Uber or public transport in the area.
The villa welcomes families, groups and well-behaved pets, and is also available for weddings and intimate celebrations with prior arrangement.
