7 Spectacular Ultra-Luxury Villasin Papagayo for 2027

These seven Peninsula Papagayo luxury villas were handpicked for 2027 by Bespoke Costa Rica's luxury travel specialists for their distinctive architecture, coastal views and spaces for spending time together. Bespoke Costa Rica is a full-service luxury travel agency specializing in Costa Rica. We help you choose the right home and bring the rest of your trip together, from private transportation to experiences around the peninsula.

Our selection ranges from sculptural four-bedroom residences to six-bedroom homes with wellness studios, expansive pool terraces and separate lounges. Each has a clear reason to be here. Below, we explain what makes it stand out and who will enjoy it most.

For architecture, start with the Contemporary Bayview Villa and the two Antoine Predock residences, Coveview and Sculpted Bayview. Choose the Sanctuary Villa for its wellness studio and generous shared spaces, or the Horizon Pool Villa for glass-lined living above Bahía Culebra. The Coastal Retreat brings a lighter, more intimate feel, while the Tropical Pool Villa pairs warm timber interiors with room for a large family to gather.

These homes are part of our Papagayo collection. The choice comes down to what you want from your days: a morning workout followed by lunch at home, a boat outing along the coast, or an afternoon by the pool with everyone together.

Ronald Zürcher's curving roofs give this six-bedroom villa its character. An elevated walkway leads into a great room with tall timber ceilings, and large pocket doors open the living spaces toward the pool and forested coastline. A floating staircase connects the home's two levels.

The infinity pool, sauna and cold plunge make this a strong choice for travelers who enjoy contemporary design and want plenty to do at home. Spend the morning outside, retreat indoors during the hottest part of the day, and return to the terrace for dinner. The architecture makes each of those spaces feel connected to the landscape.

Neighboring construction is expected to finish in December 2026. Daytime noise remains possible while work continues, and the completion date is not yet confirmed.

The Sanctuary Villa is our pick for a group that wants room to spread out without losing the pleasure of staying together. Open living areas lead to an ocean-view infinity pool and hot tub, while a substantial kitchen creates a natural gathering place inside. Six bedrooms suit an extended family or friends sharing one residence.

A detached wellness studio gives exercise its own space. The media lounge offers somewhere to settle after dinner, and the pool terrace keeps the view close throughout the day. This balance is the villa's strength: some guests can spend a quiet morning at home while others head out to explore the peninsula.

Choose the Horizon Pool Villa for its outlook over Bahía Culebra. Glass-lined rooms and an infinity pool keep the bay in view, while an outdoor dining terrace and fire-pit lounge give the group several places to gather. The contemporary design lets the water and coastline do most of the work.

This six-bedroom home suits travelers who picture long lunches, pool afternoons and evenings outdoors. Its cliffside layout spans multiple levels, with stairs between parts of the house. For a group comfortable with that arrangement, the changing perspectives are part of the appeal.

Antoine Predock's curved roofs, deep overhangs and sculpted concrete forms make the Coveview Villa one of the most distinctive homes in this selection. Broad terraces and a glass-edge pool look toward Bahía Huevos and the Palmares Preserve. Moving glass walls open the living spaces to the outdoors.

Three king suites and a bunk room make this a particularly good family choice. The home accommodates up to ten guests, with a maximum of six adults, and a media room provides a comfortable alternative to the terrace. Choose it for the architecture and bay views when four bedrooms are the right scale for your trip.

Also designed by Antoine Predock, the Sculpted Bayview Villa looks toward Culebra Bay and the Nacascolo Preserve from a wooded promontory. Curving rooflines shelter shaded terraces, with a pool and spa extending the living spaces outdoors. The home unfolds across two levels.

Its four dedicated bedrooms comprise three king suites and a bunk room. Flexible sleeping spaces bring the maximum capacity to twelve guests, including no more than eight adults. We recommend comparing it with Coveview if you are drawn to Predock's architecture: the different bay outlooks, terraces and sleeping arrangements give each home its own appeal.

Bright shared spaces and individual terraces give the five-bedroom Coastal Retreat a relaxed, open feel. The four main bedrooms have private terraces and outdoor showers, while two matching principal bedrooms make the house especially appealing for two households traveling together.

The pool terrace is the natural meeting point, with ocean views and space to spend the afternoon outside. We like this home for families who want both shared meals and somewhere to read or unwind on their own. Its appeal is in that balance, with private outdoor space extending the experience beyond the main living areas.

Timber ceilings and a tall central lounge give the Tropical Pool Villa a warmer character than the glass-fronted homes in this selection. The main living level opens toward an infinity pool and outdoor dining terrace, with tropical planting around the house. Six ensuite bedrooms are arranged across three stories.

This is a strong choice for a family that enjoys spending time at the villa. A media room and gym complement the pool, and the generous central lounge brings everyone back together. Shared breakfasts, a few hours on the water and dinner on the terrace make a natural rhythm for a stay here.

Start with the spaces you will use most. For days centered on the villa, prioritize shaded terraces, dining areas and a lounge where the whole group can sit comfortably. A wellness studio or separate media room can make a real difference when guests follow different schedules.

Then compare the bedroom arrangements. Coveview and Sculpted Bayview pair king suites with a bunk room, while the Coastal Retreat offers two matching principal bedrooms. The Tropical Pool Villa's three-story layout and Horizon Pool's cliffside setting bring more stairs into daily life. These are useful distinctions when choosing for children, several couples or different generations.

Peninsula Papagayo combines forested headlands and beaches with a marina and golf. Bespoke Costa Rica can build your stay around the home you choose, with private transportation and days on the water alongside time to enjoy the villa itself.
