A Guanacaste Gathering Place for Food, Nature and Pacific Adventure

Welcome to Villa Carao, a modern tropical retreat where architectural sophistication meets the serene beauty of Costa Rica’s Gold Coast. Nestled within the exclusive Carao enclave of Guanacaste, this private residence offers the perfect blend of relaxed luxury and natural tranquility. A shimmering pool sits at the heart of the home, framed by lush gardens, shaded terraces, and multiple lounging areas designed for alfresco dining or peaceful reflection. Elevated landscaping ensures full privacy while the open layout allows for seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living.

Inside, every space is crafted with balance and intention. The primary master suite on the main level is a sanctuary of calm featuring a spa-inspired bathroom with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and spacious closet. A deluxe junior suite overlooking the pool and gardens doubles as an ideal guest room or private office, complete with its own ensuite. On the lower level, two additional ensuite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, while a new pool bathroom with terrace access adds convenience for sun-drenched days and family gatherings.

At the center of the residence is a chef’s kitchen that combines artistry and functionality. Outfitted with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Barazza ovens and induction cooktop, and a Miele dishwasher, it brings professional-grade performance to a sleek, sunlit setting. The wide island, custom millwork, and seamless flow make it ideal for both casual cooking and elegant entertaining, with abundant natural light filtering through expansive glazing.

Dining unfolds across thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage connection. Indoors, a custom-built banquette seats up to eight for family meals or late-night conversation, while the adjacent balcony offers open-air dining with views of the garden and golf course. The kitchen island accommodates three to four guests for coffee, cocktails, or impromptu tastings, creating a natural gathering point throughout the day.

The home’s social areas invite effortless relaxation. Upstairs, an open-concept living space merges the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas, extending gracefully to a balcony that captures tranquil garden, pool, and fairway views. Downstairs, a spacious family room opens directly to the pool terrace, perfect for movie nights, reading retreats, or multigenerational getaways. Every corner reflects a sense of calm, comfort, and contemporary Costa Rican style.

Beyond this peaceful enclave, adventure awaits. Explore Playa Flamingo, Playa Grande, and Tamarindo—each offering distinct charm, surfing, and dining. Visit Diamante Eco Adventure Park for thrilling ziplines and close-up wildlife encounters, or take a scenic day trip to the Rio Celeste waterfall in Tenorio Volcano National Park. From sun-soaked beaches to rainforest trails, this Guanacaste hideaway places Costa Rica’s best experiences within easy reach.

* We do not have a membership to the Reserva Conchal Beach Club. This means you cannot use the Beach Club pool or the gym. You can, however, dine at the Beach Club Restaurant, book treatments at the Spa, and book a tee time for golf at the Robert Trent Jones Championship Golf Course. Our home has its own private pool, our community has a private clubhouse with a pool, and the beautiful waters of Conchal Beach are waiting for you.
