Overlooking secluded Papagayo Bay, four Costa Rica villas command exclusive views of the glittering waves, palm-fringed beaches and sleek, white sportfishing boats and yachts that dot the deep blue sea off the north Pacific coast. Villas Paraiso, Azul, Mariposa and Las Brisas mark the top of the line in luxury villa rentals in this peaceful little country, maybe even around the world.
In October, I first experienced Villa Paraiso's awe-inspiring view: tiny birds circling slowly far below, boats riding the gentle waves of Papagayo beneath a vivid tropical sun -- a work of art come to life. The luxury of simply looking at the view while lounging around the Infinity pool and sipping a tall rum and Coke was the most relaxing and tranquil part of my visit to Playa Ocotal and Coco. Villas Azul and Mariposa enjoy equally exotic views, and volcanoes as well as the ocean may be seen from Las Brisas, situated on a Playa Panama cliff
Costa Rica luxury villas in Guanacaste
Each villa displays its own charm and personality. The exterior of Villa Azul has a Colonial feel, with two big verandahs. Its great room and tile floors lend a Southwestern feel, accented by occasional cacti you will see in this region. All five ocean view bedrooms are air-conditioned, and there is a pool side ranchito (tiki hut) and bar. Sleeps up to 14 people.
Bedrooms at Villa Paraiso -- all seven of them -- are theme-oriented. There is a Tiger Room, for example, and the Sun and Moon Room. Super view from the Infinity pool. Up to 18 people
Villa Mariposa
Designed for honeymooners, couples and small groups, this two-story, three-bedroom villa has a private pool and Jacuzzi, lots of ocean views here too. Two-eight people.
Las Brisas
A large Spanish ranch style home featuring four large bedrooms, Las Brisas has an outside kitchen and party area in the ranchito beside the large Infinity pool, with its magnificent ocean view. Up to eight people.
Paraiso, Isla Azul, and Mariposa include all-inclusive meals, an open bar, and a cook, maid and houseboy. (Las Brisas boasts a spacious, fully equipped kitchen and proximity to a variety of local dining choices).
But it is the little touches that truly define luxury: feather mattresses, satellite TV, local art, and a staff that lives to pamper, are only the first that come to mind.
Each villa is convenient to nightlife and dining in Playas del Coco, as well as sportfishing, scuba diving, surfing, nature tours and other popular activities
There is even a new spa in Playa Ocotal.
Upscale accommodations such as these offer complete privacy and sheer, laid back relaxation in a sunny, tropical setting hat is also convenient to nearby beaches, rainforest and volcano tours, diving, fishing and other fun things to do.
Highly recommended, these Costa Rica villas represent the height of luxury, privacy and tranquility in this tranquil, tropical paradise. Info can be obtained
