Villa El Alma is a private ocean-view estate set within the most exclusive coastal community in Costa Rica, Peninsula Papagayo. Designed as a retreat for the soul, this custom residence blends architectural intention, global craftsmanship, and a seamless connection to nature.

The home offers 4036 sq ft of air-conditioned living space within a total construction of 12,650 sq ft.. From the moment you arrive, the experience is defined by scale and detail. A dramatic entry with oversized custom teak doors and a sculptural spiral staircase sets the tone. Beyond, hand-carved Balinese doors open to reveal a framed ocean view that carries through the main living area and out to the expansive covered veranda.

Indoor and outdoor living are fully integrated. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors disappear, allowing the main living space to flow effortlessly toward the terrace, marble pool, and heated jacuzzi. Surrounded by decking, tropical gardens with winding paths, and water features, the outdoor areas feel both curated and completely natural. Monkeys and native wildlife are frequent visitors, reinforcing the home’s connection to its environment.

Inside, the finishes are both refined and intentional. Italian travertine floors run throughout, complemented by Costa Rican teak, custom lighting, and one-of-a-kind architectural elements sourced from Bali. The interiors were curated by a leading US designer, with custom furnishings imported from Bali, Brazil, Canada, and the United States. A fully integrated audio system by Marantz and Sunfire, along with fiber optic internet, enhances both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is designed for both function and presentation, featuring high-end Bosch appliances and a temperature-controlled pantry. A separate laundry room with dual washers and dryers, along with additional storage, supports long-term comfort and ease of living.

All three bedrooms are designed as private suites, each with its own outdoor space and distinct identity. The primary suite offers a private terrace and a Victoria + Albert soaking tub positioned to capture expansive Pacific views. The garden suite opens to its own tropical setting, while the upper-level treetop suite enjoys elevated privacy and its own balcony. Each space is designed to offer both comfort and quiet separation.

Ownership within Peninsula Papagayo provides access to a level of amenities unmatched in Costa Rica. Residents enjoy a private Beach Club, Arnold Palmer Signature Ocean Course, Peninsula Papagayo Playground, Marina, hiking and biking trails, tennis, wellness programs, and a full range of curated outdoor experiences including sailing, fishing, diving, and nature excursions. The community is located just 45 minutes from Liberia International Airport, offering both accessibility and privacy.
Villa El Alma is not simply a home, but a fully realized lifestyle property designed for those who value privacy, design, and a deeper connection to the natural surroundings.
