To us, luxury isn’t just a word – it’s a feeling, an experience, and a way of life. It’s authentic and unique, designed to spark joy and create memories that last a lifetime. And here, on your Costa Rica luxury vacation, it all begins with our standard of service and unmatched amenities.
You’ve traveled the world. You understand what luxury entails – or, at least, you think you do. But you may wonder what a luxury at a Costa Rica private villa really looks like. In a country famed for its pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and boundless biodiversity – not for historic castles or white-glove service – what does luxury truly mean?
In a word? Understated.
Costa Rican luxury isn’t about opulence for the sake of opulence – it’s about unparalleled experiences and thoughtful details. It’s waking up in your private villa to the sound of waves crashing just steps from your door. It’s sipping your morning coffee on an expansive terrace overlooking an infinity pool and the Pacific Ocean. It’s modern architecture, impeccable design, and best-in-class amenities that blend seamlessly with Costa Rica’s natural beauty.
It’s also something more. A Costa Rica luxury vacation is personal and immersive: access to untouched nature, where tropical forests meet the sea. It’s the careful balance of refined comforts and authentic connections. It’s not just about how a space looks – it’s about how it makes you feel.
The word “luxury” often evokes thoughts of supreme comfort and elegance, but in Costa Rica, it’s much more. At Stay in Tamarindo, we believe luxury is defined by how it transforms your vacation into something extraordinary. Yes, the material comforts are here – ocean-view pools, chef’s kitchens, and private beachfronts – but it’s the emotional experience that sets us apart.
Here’s what luxury means to us:
- Tailored to You: No cookie-cutter vacations here! From the moment we meet, your needs, desires, and preferences take center stage. Every recommendation, from the villa you’ll stay in to the activities we’ll arrange, is made with you in mind.
- Deep Personal Connections: We’re not just your hosts – we’re your partners in creating an unforgettable stay, experience, and escape. Have a question or need something mid-stay? We’re here for you, every step of the way.
- Uncompromising Standards: We represent only the finest villas in Tamarindo. If it’s not a place we’d recommend to our closest friends or most discerning clients, it doesn’t make our list. Every villa is vetted for design, comfort, and international standards of excellence.
- Elevated Comforts: While luxury isn’t only about material things, we know they matter. Expect infinity pools that melt into ocean views, fully equipped kitchens for chef-prepared meals, and serene outdoor spaces that frame the natural beauty of Costa Rica.
Your priorities are yours and yours alone. That said, there are a few amenities that our guests typically agree can make your stay extra special:
Ocean Frontage and/or Spectacular Open Views
When does location become the epitome of a Costa Rica luxury vacation? When it comes with a slice of the Pacific!
Oceanfront homes are rare in Costa Rica, but we proudly offer several exceptional properties. For those seeking sweeping vistas, Costa Rica’s rugged coastline offers extraordinary, 180º panoramic views over the shimmering Pacific and vibrant sunsets.
Many of our villas are perched so close to the coast that you can check the day’s surf conditions or listen to the rhythmic crash of waves from your private pool terrace. Imagine waking up to that sound, or sipping your morning coffee as the Pacific stretches endlessly before you.
A Private Culinary Experience
Sometimes, luxury is as simple as brewing your morning coffee in a gourmet kitchen. Other times, it’s an elaborate feast prepared by a private chef in your villa. Whatever your culinary aspirations, our Costa Rica luxury villa rentals deliver.
Many of our properties include fully equipped chef’s kitchens designed to make cooking effortless. For those moments when you’d rather relax than chop and sauté, we’ll gladly arrange a private chef to create anything from a casual family-style meal to a gourmet tropical-fusion experience.
And if mornings are for sleeping in, many of our villas with Elite Service include daily breakfast prep – so you can wake up to fresh fruit, strong Costa Rican coffee, and a peaceful start to your day.
Private Pools to Center Your Relaxation
Sometimes, all you need is the perfect spot to unwind – and what better place than your private pool? Whether it’s a sleek infinity edge overlooking the ocean, a waterslide for the kids, or a secluded retreat surrounded by lush greenery, your villa’s pool invites you to slow down and soak it all in.
Picture yourself floating under the tropical sun, a cold drink in hand, as time seems to stand still. Then, as evening approaches, gather your loved ones for one of Costa Rica’s legendary sunsets – an experience made even better from the comfort of your poolside terrace.
Hot-Tubbing by Sunset
There’s nothing quite like sinking into a bubbling hot tub as the day transitions into night. Watch the stars blink on overhead, soak in the peace of the moment, and let Costa Rica’s magic envelop you.
A Costa Rica luxury vacation doesn’t mean sealing yourself off from the world. It rains in the rainforest. A curious gecko may wander in. Monkeys might serenade you in the distance. Here, luxury is about embracing the authenticity of your surroundings, while still enjoying every modern comfort.
So, what transforms a great vacation into a luxury one? One word: service.
True luxury is about peace of mind. It’s knowing that your trip will be tailored to your every desire. It’s having a concierge on speed dial to answer questions, make recommendations, and check every box on your vacation wish list. It’s the promise that someone will always be there to anticipate your needs – before you even know you have them.
Your Costa Rica luxury vacation might include:
- A Dedicated Concierge: Whether you want to plan a family-friendly itinerary or reserve a private catamaran for a sunset cruise, your concierge will make it happen.
- World-Class Dining at Home: Enjoy fresh breakfasts prepared daily or indulge in gourmet meals crafted by a private chef.
- Curated Experiences: From zip-lining through the rainforest to sipping cocktails on a secluded beach, we’ll ensure every moment is unforgettable.
And the best part? It’s all about you. Every detail is carefully designed to reflect your vision of the perfect getaway.
Costa Rican luxury combines the best of both worlds – refined elegance and raw natural beauty. You’ll experience stunning modern villas and authentic local flavors. You’ll hear the call of howler monkeys and taste the sweetness of freshly picked mangoes. You’ll swim in infinity pools that feel like they merge with the ocean, and you’ll step onto beaches that seem untouched by time.
It’s this balance of indulgence and authenticity that makes Costa Rica and Stay in Tamarindo so special. It’s real. It’s wild. And we’re absolutely unforgettable.
Let us show you the meaning of luxury – Costa Rican style. We think you’ll fall in love with it.
