Playa Hermosa Hillside Villa • 5BR • Infinity Pool • Sleeps 14 • Villa Encantada

Why Guests Love It:
Guests consistently highlight the stunning panoramic ocean views, luxurious pool terrace and modern design. Many say Villa Encantada feels both like a five-star resort and a serene tropical home, thanks to thoughtful finishes and attentive Zindis management.


Mar Vista gated Community, Playa Hermosa — perched above the Pacific coastline in Guanacaste — offers an elevated escape with sweeping ocean views and lush green surroundings. While you’ll feel worlds away, the vibrant beach town of Playa Hermosa is just a short drive down the hill, where calm, family-friendly waters meet lively restaurants and bars. Both snorkeling and adventure activities like zip-lining and ATV rides are easily accessible, and the airport at Liberia (LIR) is about 30 minutes away, making arrival simple and convenient. The neighborhood strikes the perfect balance between tranquil retreat and coastal convenience.

Welcome to Villa Encantada, a breathtaking luxury villa nestled high on the hills above Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. With five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, this stunning home accommodates up to 14 guests, making it ideal for large families, groups of friends or special celebrations.

Architecturally designed to capture both elegance and natural beauty, the villa features high-vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and a seamless indoor-outdoor layout. Step into the living area and enjoy views through wall-to-ceiling glass doors toward the Pacific, or wander outside to your infinity-edge pool that appears to float above the horizon.

The gourmet kitchen is equipped with premium appliances, ample counter space and a central dining area where everyone can gather. Outside, the terrace beckons with lounge seating, fire pits and an outdoor dining setting perfect for al-fresco evenings beneath tropical skies.

Each bedroom suite is thoughtfully appointed. Two master suites feature king beds, spa-style bathrooms and private balconies; additional bedrooms offer luxury bedding and sublime views. The home also includes a dedicated game room and workspace for guests wanting both fun and productivity.

Situated less than 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport and tucked into the serene community of Mar Vista, Villa Encantada offers privacy and convenience in equal measure. With on-site management by Zindis Hospitality, you’ll enjoy white-glove service from arrival to departure.

Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, hiking through tropical trails, or dining on the terrace as the sun dips into the Pacific, Villa Encantada delivers an unforgettable Costa Rican experience.
