Villa Buena Onda is a luxurious all inclusive villa that awaits you on Costa Rica's Golden Coast. The name, meaning "good vibe", can be felt in the gentle flowing waters of the 2-tier infinity pool, the attentive, cheerful staff and the warm ocean breezes that fill the home.

No expense was spared to create this unique balance of natural comfort and elegance. The service traditions and modern amenities far surpass those of other rentals in the area. With a concierge, maid service and all meals served by the chef, you will feel like a guest in your own 5-star boutique hotel.

The home can sleep up to 23 people, and sits on 1.24 acres of landscaped property, making it perfect for weddings, business groups, families or those who desire luxury and privacy. Just one mile from “Coconut beach” and at the center of some of the country’s main tourist attractions, you will find endless opportunities for fun and relaxation.

The 10,000 square foot villa has a Mexican inspired facade with some exotic Balinese touches. The ambience is open and breezy and rooms are situated to maximize the stunning ocean views, while the understated design blends into the natural surroundings. The subdued earth tones were selected to calm the spirit and provide a sanctuary for wary travelers in need of a peaceful vacation. The owners did our best to weave elements of earth and water throughout the home, including river rock flooring inlays, exotic woods and Nicaraguan hand-made roof tiles. The large living space gives way to cozy nooks and 7 private bedrooms, each with a balcony or patio that offer views of the blue ocean and sky, creating a feeling of calm and seclusion.

Three of the guest suites are located on the first floor and four on the second floor, all with en suite bathrooms. All rooms enjoy ocean views, except the Guanacaste Suite, which looks out over the gardens. The two corner suites on the second floor have oversized bathrooms with ocean views and semi-open-air showers.

The swimming pool and lounge area are over the top. For starters, local pool legend Joan Roca was hired (designer of luxury swimming areas for many celebrity pleasure homes in Costa Rica including Giselle and Mel Gibson). The result was a gigantic infinity pool that would be generous for most small hotels. An upper sitting pool with Jacuzzi jets which gently cascades into a lower, larger pool. A small ledge behind the waterfall provides a grotto sitting space where guests can let the water rush over them with an added sense of privacy.

The sunken swim up bar is an excellent place to sip a tropical cocktail while enjoying the stunning ocean views. The same bar is also accessible from an open air barbeque and sitting area, which offers refreshing shade from Guanacaste noontime sun. Guests can enjoy sun, shade and a refreshing dip by the large terrace and sun deck, all while being treated to drinks, snacks or local advice from the villa staff.

The Staff

A full-time chef provides all-inclusive fine dining, which includes three mouthwatering meals per day. Snacks are also served while you enjoy leisurely afternoons in the multiple indoor and outdoor dining environments. The week’s flexible menu is created according to your personal preferences. Ask the Chef to grill up your fresh catch of the day, or let him wow you with his international culinary skills!

A bartender is on hand to serve up icy beverages from the indoor sports bar, outdoor wet bar, or upstairs as you enjoy the home entertainment system or take in the beautiful sunsets from the open air terrace. A service tunnel connects the sports bar to the wet bar, allowing for speedy service for large groups. Upstairs you will also find a mini bar in the movie room where you can serve yourself a beer after hours.

The villa also includes a full time on-site Concierge to ensure that there is never a dull moment during your stay. The Concierge can arrange any tour, transportation or excursion that you might desire. The villa owners have their own full-service travel agency in San Jose and are experts in planning any element of your Costa Rica vacation. Ask about a relaxing boat ride to the nearby Playa Huevo, where you can enjoy white sands all to your self or set up a spa treatment on the upstairs sunset terrace. The concierge is your local, knowledgeable contact, so feel free to ask her anything you like about local customs, language and culture as well.
