For an exclusive luxury getaway on the Costa Rican coast, it doesn't get any better than this stunning villa on the Nicoya Peninsula. Blessed with an isolated location and surrounded by lush jungle, the sprawling 4,500-acre estate offers guests a chance to experience that most sought-after of modern luxuries – peace and tranquillity, with some adrenaline-pumping adventure thrown in for any thrill-seekers out there. Its open structure and seamless access to the outdoors through vast retractable glass doors make the villa seem even larger than its already generous footprint. And with an average daytime temperature hovering around the high twenties, there's little need to close them. Inside, the decor is crisp and uncluttered, with white walls, plenty of wood, and the occasional pop of colour that echoes the wild fruits growing in the forest outside. Enjoy unfettered access to three miles of unspoiled coastline, boasting three of Costa Rica's finest beaches – Langosta offers beautiful white sand and crystal-clear waters, Avellanas offers world-class surf, while Mansita is perfect for snorkelling. While you'll have to share the sea here with guests from the nearby JW Marriott, its five mouthwatering restaurants more than make up for this minor inconvenience. Elsewhere, the resort offers a challenging links golf course overlooking the ocean. It flows effortlessly with the natural landscape to provide a course that's fun for all abilities. With everything right on your doorstep, we wouldn't blame you if you checked in and never left – however, should you feel the urge to explore, the renowned surf town of Tamarindo is just a thirty-minute drive away. From here, you can organise excursions into the mangroves, sunset sailing trips, ATV off-roading expeditions and full-day hikes through awe-inspiring national parks.
