TAMARINDO, GUANACASTE, COSTA RICA (Dec. 20, 2024)—Villa Serena is a rare jewel on the white sands of Playa Langosta, an exclusive enclave just south of Tamarindo, Costa Rica’s renowned surf town. This secluded beachfront estate, positioned on a pristine half-acre double lot, offers privacy, tranquility, and effortless luxury within walking distance of Tamarindo’s vibrant culture and amenities.

Designed 25 years ago by noted architect Abraham Valenzuela, the home reflects a timeless coastal aesthetic, with interiors crafted by Gabriela Valenzuela-Hirsch, whose design expertise brings a sense of harmony and understated elegance to every corner. Senior landscape designer Carlos Valenzuela created the lush tropical grounds, ensuring privacy and natural beauty at every turn.

The property is an invitation to a lifestyle of refined beachfront living, with title extending 50 meters to the shoreline—a rarity in Costa Rica. A serene tidal pool, revealed at low tide, offers a natural retreat akin to swimming in a private aquarium.

“Villa Serena is not just a home; it’s an experience of living in harmony with the ocean and tropical surroundings,” said listing agent Brian Bratton of Costa Rica Resort & Estate Properties, the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in the region. The property is offered at US$7.28 million.

A Sanctuary of Comfort and Style

The estate comprises two thoughtfully designed dwellings: the main villa and a private guest house, complemented by a separate staff casita with a workers’ bathroom, a two-car garage, and an art studio complete with a full bathroom. The main villa features three luxurious bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and an expansive primary suite with an office. At its heart is a custom-designed Boffi kitchen, renowned for its minimalist elegance and superior craftsmanship. Equipped with premium appliances, the kitchen seamlessly integrates into the home’s light-filled living spaces, opening onto a terrace that overlooks the tropical gardens.

Outdoor living is at the heart of Villa Serena, with spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The lap pool is surrounded by a stone terrace, complemented by a beautifully appointed outdoor living room, perfect for gathering with family and friends. A nearby dining pavilion offers breathtaking sunset views, while a second dining table near the beach provides an extraordinary setting for cocktails and al fresco meals overlooking the ocean. For those seeking complete privacy, the property features a dedicated tanning solarium, a serene space designed for uninterrupted sunbathing and Vitamin D recharge without the need for swimwear.

A stone path winds through the tropical landscape to a 14-seat table for beachfront dining, creating a seamless flow between the home and its natural surroundings.

The two-bedroom, two-bath guest house echoes the elegance of the main villa, with hardwood interiors, private terraces, and ocean breezes enhancing the sense of serenity. Multiple bodegas provide ample storage, ensuring every aspect of life at Villa Serena is both effortless and organized.
