Searching for the ultimate exotic retreat? After many months of anticipation, we’re delighted to present our recently renovated Puesta del Sol villa. Taking its name from the Spanish term for “sunset”, this spectacular property is set 80 metres above the rocky coastline to reveal serene views of the Guanacaste coast.
In fact, the one-acre flat plot is what originally drew the owners to Papagayo, offering breathtaking twilights all year round. Treasured by couples and families alike, each space within this private setting has been especially designed to help you truly connect with the people that matter most.
The wooden paneled staircase is at the heart of the home, with luminous windows that offer a glimpse of the surrounding oak trees. It’s these small details that bring a calming influence to everyday journeys. Five luxurious suites sprawl across the first floor of the building, each with opulent garden views and fragrant floral aromas that connect guests with the surrounding rugged coastline.
Spacious and airy, the king master suite features every modern convenience for the hosts, including a spectacular home-spa bathroom, walk-in closets and a private balcony. Our younger guests will also enjoy exploring their dedicated “fort” room, complete with a queen bed and chaise longue.
Puesta del Sol offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, with the nature of Guanacaste playing a key role in its architectural design. The air is filled with warm dappled light, thanks to the expansive bifold doors that frame the outdoor spaces. Monkeys, birds and butterflies are frequent visitors to surrounding lush vegetation. A true paradise.
Exploring nature from your luxury villa
Warm, golden paths lead through the luscious gardens to a spacious gazebo, the lapping waves of the Papagayo Gulf becoming the most picturesque backdrop. It’s a favorite spot for the villa’s owners, creating the perfect space to share a special toast with friends or a wholesome family dinner. A secluded spot for watching the sunset together and talking the night away.
A little further down the cliff edge, a secluded beach emerges from the headland. Soft salty waves lap against the shore, contrasting beautifully against the ancient trees and grassy plains. If you’re looking for a more intimate setting, enjoy a cool drink chased by a warm breeze as you catch up with friends on the covered veranda. Then, indulge the senses as our private chefs serve up a full spectrum of local Costa Rican produce, or enjoy cooking up a storm together with the provisioned kitchen and ample outdoor barbeque area.
Delicate purple blooms illuminate the way to the organically-shaped pool, each smooth curve an invitation to take a dip. Sit back and soak up the warmth of the day on an ergonomic lounger, dipping into the water when it’s impossible to resist a refreshing burst. If you’re looking to dive right in, the infinity edge provides the perfect hideaway for letting the sights and sounds of the turquoise ocean lift your spirits and soothe your soul. Little ones can also enjoy blissfully dipping their toes in without feeling out of their depth, thanks to the specially-designed shallow section.
Ready to start a new adventure in Guanacaste? Puesta del Sol extends the use of it’s 6-passenger golf cart, 2 stand-up paddleboards, 2 bicycles and 2 kayaks to all guests staying here. If you’re looking for a space to renew your body and mind, make the most of the complimentary access to the private Prieta Beach Club, Spa and Gym.
