Villa Arcos Del Mar

Beachfront-Style Luxury Living at Peninsula Papagayo

A rare oceanfront villa within Peninsula Papagayo offering direct beach access, expansive outdoor living, and one of the most distinctive settings in Costa Rica.

Perched above the Pacific coastline within the exclusive gates of Peninsula Papagayo, Villa Arcos Del Mar offers something extraordinarily rare within the resort community: direct walkable access to Playa Prieta combined with the privacy and scale of a private luxury estate.

Surrounded by tropical gardens, towering palms, and expansive ocean views, this architectural retreat blends Moroccan and Southern Spanish influences with the relaxed sophistication of Costa Rica’s most exclusive coastal destination. Unlike many villas perched high above the coastline, Arcos Del Mar allows guests to walk directly down to the sand in just minutes — a feature that makes the experience feel uniquely connected to the ocean.

The estate can be reserved as the five-bedroom main residence or, for larger groups and guests wanting additional space, as a seven-bedroom compound that includes the newly completed two-bedroom casita. Outside of the Christmas and New Year’s holiday period, guests may choose the configuration that best suits their group and enjoy corresponding pricing.

A Rare Villa with Direct Access to Playa Prieta

Villa Arcos Del Mar sits on a lush hillside lot overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Playa Prieta — one of the most desirable beaches within Peninsula Papagayo.  Guests can walk down Peninsula-maintained  steps to the beach in approximately three minutes, then continue along the shoreline to the members-only Prieta Beach Club.

This beach connectivity is exceptionally uncommon within Peninsula Papagayo and dramatically changes the rhythm of a stay. Rather than planning beach outings around golf carts or transportation, guests can move naturally between villa, beach, and beach club throughout the day.

Morning coffee overlooking the Pacific might be followed by a swim or paddleboard session at Playa Prieta, an afternoon at the beach club, and sunset cocktails back at the villa. Arcos Del Mar creates a style of stay that feels far more connected to the coastline than most private villas within the resort.

Designed for Relaxed Luxury

Inspired by Moroccan and Andalusian architecture, the villa balances warmth, texture, and elegance rather than feeling overly formal or minimalist. Arched passageways, shaded terraces, interior courtyards, natural wood finishes, artisan furnishings, and layered textures create a home that feels collected and welcoming rather than staged.

The architecture encourages guests to move easily between indoor and outdoor spaces, while multiple gathering areas allow a large group to spend time together without feeling crowded. Covered terraces, quiet shaded seating areas, expansive social spaces, and private bedroom suites make the villa particularly well suited to multigenerational families and couples traveling together.

Rather than a highly contemporary resort home, Arcos Del Mar has a distinctive sense of place and character that feels especially appropriate to its tropical oceanfront setting.

Outdoor Living Designed Around the Ocean

Outdoor living is central to the experience at Arcos Del Mar. The expansive pool terrace overlooks the Pacific and is framed by mature tropical landscaping, creating a remarkable sense of privacy despite the v

The pool includes a shallow lounging area ideal for children or relaxed afternoons in the water, while surrounding terraces offer both sunny and shaded spaces throughout the day. Guests can move easily from morning coffee overlooking the ocean to poolside lunches, afternoon swims after returning from Playa Prieta, sunset cocktails at the wet bar, and outdoor dinners under the Costa Rican sky.

The result is an outdoor environment designed not simply to be beautiful, but to be genuinely enjoyed throughout a vacation.

Five or Seven Bedrooms — Designed Around Your Group

One of the advantages of Arcos Del Mar is the flexibility to reserve the property in the configuration that best suits your group. Throughout most of the year, guests may reserve the five-bedroom main residence on its own or add the newly completed two-bedroom casita to create a private seven-bedroom compound.

Five-Bedroom Main Residence

For families and groups who do not require seven bedrooms, the five-bedroom main residence offers the full Arcos Del Mar experience, including the expansive pool terrace, ocean views, direct access to Playa Prieta, indoor-outdoor gathering spaces, and access to Peninsula Papagayo amenities.

This option allows smaller groups to enjoy one of the resort’s most distinctive private homes without reserving additional bedrooms and spaces they may not need.

Seven-Bedroom Estate + Private Casita

For larger groups, multigenerational families, or guests who simply want additional space and privacy, the complete estate includes a newly constructed three-story casita with two additional ocean-view bedroom suites.

The casita also adds a private gym and media space, creating a separate retreat within the property while keeping everyone together on one private estate. The additional accommodations are particularly useful for multiple families traveling together, adult children, grandparents, or guests who appreciate having a little more separation within a larger group.

During the Christmas and New Year’s holiday period, Arcos Del Mar is offered exclusively as the complete seven-bedroom estate.
