Beyond the standard – number of bedrooms and bathrooms, sleeping arrangements, and more – there’s an entire world out there of unique features and amenities. Because here, in Tamarindo, luxury means more than just space; it’s about experiences and memories you’ll treasure long after your tan fades.
From oceanfront and ocean-view locations to infinity pools, chef’s kitchens, and even private concierge services, where to stay in Tamarindo, Costa Rica is about carefully prioritizing and curating an indulgent slice of paradise as unique as your needs and wishlist.
Standout Amenity: Private Infinity Pools
When you’re looking at where to stay in Tamarindo, infinity pools are practically synonymous with luxury, and Tamarindo’s finest villas and vacation homes take this feature to the next level. It’s utter freedom to lounge in a pool where the edge merges with the Pacific, extending out to an infinite horizon, surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature.
Costa Rica’s modern infinity pools are designed for total relaxation, often featuring varying depths (especially wonderful if you’re traveling with kids!), shallow sunbathing areas, and in-water lounge seating, so everyone can find their comfort zone. Some even have built-in children’s pools, making them family-friendly without compromising on elegance.
This amenity truly shines as the sun dips behind the horizon, you pour yourself a drink, and watch the sunset shoot out over the Pacific. Breathe, relax, and unwind, as the world around you slows to a tranquil pace.
Rare Feature: Oceanfront and Ocean-View Locations
When you’re on vacation, the Pacific Ocean isn’t just a scenic photo op; it’s the heart of your very experience. You’ll swim, surf, snorkel, and stroll – the sea will serve as the omnipresent focal point of your stay.
Because true beachfront villas are rare and highly coveted, due to Costa Rica’s stringent maritime zone requirements, the Pacific in your backyard is a genuine luxury. If you’re searching where to stay in Tamarindo and can’t score an oceanfront property, fear not – our cliffsides and elevated terrain mean that spectacular ocean views are never far away.
You’ll find that many of our villa rentals sit perched on scenic hillsides, welcoming you to the vacation world of panoramic, 180º vistas that stretch across the sparkling sea, all while sipping coffee on your private terrace or watching the waves from your poolside lounge.
Major Plus: Gourmet Chef’s Kitchens + Private Chef Services
Whether you’re sampling local dishes or indulging in a special meal, food forms an integral part of any vacation.
Our vacation homes promise fully-equipped gourmet kitchens, whether you plan to craft a multi-course celebratory meal or simply want to brew your cup of morning coffee. And when you’re ready to be pampered, you can even arrange for a private chef to take the reins.
Your villa concierge (see below for details) can set up private chef services for a single special meal or for regular meals throughout your stay. So go ahead, indulge in everything from five-star cuisine to traditional Costa Rican flavors crafted with a touch of elegance – think fresh, tropical fusion dishes enjoyed on your private terrace as the sun dips below the horizon.
