Costa Rica has long captured the imagination of travelers. It offers untamed beauty, barefoot elegance, and a deep connection with nature. For those seeking more than a typical vacation — those looking for space, privacy, and soul-stirring simplicity — a private villa in Costa Rica is the key to an unforgettable journey.
At Blue Planet Pro, we design Costa Rica villa vacations that feel personal, seamless, and deeply luxurious. If you dream of jungle views, surf at your doorstep, and slow mornings with locally roasted coffee on the terrace, here’s why now is the time to start planning.
Why Costa Rica?
Wild Beauty with Modern Comfort
Costa Rica offers a rare blend of untamed nature and polished hospitality. You’ll find private villas tucked into rainforests, perched on cliffs above black-sand beaches, or steps from warm Pacific surf. These villas come with infinity pools, open-air living areas, and full-service staff. Each feature makes every day feel effortless.
Endless Experiences, All in Reach
From private catamaran sails and waterfall hikes to in-home massages and local chef dinners, Costa Rica is designed for both adventure and relaxation. And with our concierge planning, you never have to choose between the two.
Safety, Ease, and Accessibility
Costa Rica is just a short flight from most major U.S. cities. With English widely spoken and excellent healthcare, it offers smooth entry for American travelers. It’s the perfect destination for couples, families, or multigenerational groups looking for something wild and rejuvenating.
Where to Find the Best Luxury Villas in Costa Rica
Papagayo Peninsula
The gold standard of Costa Rican luxury. Located in the northwestern province of Guanacaste, the Papagayo Peninsula is a sanctuary for those seeking privacy, prestige, and polished service. Villas here are often architect-designed with sweeping ocean views, outdoor showers, and dedicated staff — including private chefs and house managers. Guests enjoy access to world-class golf, beach clubs, and the iconic Four Seasons amenities. It’s ideal for families, celebratory groups, or couples wanting high-end infrastructure with wild beauty just beyond the gate.
Think: sleek hillside villas with infinity pools, yoga pavilions, and concierge access to private beach clubs and catamarans.
Santa Teresa
On the Nicoya Peninsula’s western edge, Santa Teresa is Costa Rica’s boho-chic darling. It attracts surfers, wellness travelers, and design-savvy explorers. The town is laid-back, featuring boutiques, beach cafés, and open-air juice bars. However, the villas? They are next-level.
Here, you’ll find architecturally striking homes built into the hillside or hidden among palms. Expect floor-to-ceiling glass, plunge pools, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Many villas will include on-site caretakers or daily housekeeping, while others offer chef and spa services on request.
Think: surfing at dawn, breakfast prepared by your chef, afternoons in a hammock with ocean views and a cold hibiscus spritz.
Nosara
If Santa Teresa is a barefoot runway, Nosara is its quieter, wellness-centered sister. Set within a protected wildlife corridor, Nosara is beloved for its commitment to sustainability, yoga, and intentional living. The beach town of Guiones is home to a charming surf scene, organic markets, and a relaxed vibe.
Villas here are often tucked behind natural foliage. They feature organic materials, open-air living spaces, and saltwater pools. Most come with concierge service and partnerships with local wellness practitioners.
Think: early-morning surf, beach walks at golden hour, al fresco dinners under the stars, surrounded by howler monkeys and the hum of the jungle.
Dominical & Uvita
Farther south on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast lies a hidden gem. The area is less developed, wildly beautiful, and ideal for travelers wanting space to unplug. Dominical and Uvita provide an off-grid feeling without losing access to luxury.
Here, villas are built into jungle cliffs, offering panoramic ocean views and the famous Whale’s Tail sandbar. Many feature multi-level living, infinity-edge pools, and wraparound terraces. While more remote, concierge services are still readily available. The region hosts several excellent chefs, nature guides, and spa providers.
Think: coffee on your terrace as the rainforest wakes, private waterfall hikes, sunset horseback rides on the beach, and a full moon massage under the palms.
