Six bedrooms, one yoga deck, and an infinity pool that finds the horizon.
A contemporary six-bedroom villa on Peninsula Papagayo with two primary suites, a detached private apartment, infinity pool, private yoga deck, and full concierge service. Designed for groups who want space, privacy, and everything the peninsula offers.
Open to the Pacific. Built around it.
Casa Basalto is a six-bedroom contemporary villa on Peninsula Papagayo. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open the main living floor entirely onto the pool terrace, the infinity pool, and the Pacific beyond. Inside and outside stop being different categories. The living room, dining area, and alfresco lounge all connect to the same horizon. It is the kind of layout that makes a group of fourteen feel like they have the whole coastline to themselves.
The kitchen that handles everything.
Quartz countertops, premium appliances, an oversized island with breakfast bar seating, and a dedicated coffee station. The gourmet kitchen at Casa Basalto was designed to work as hard or as quietly as the group needs it to. A powder room and laundry room complete the main level.
Two primary suites.
Two king primary suites, each with a spa-inspired ensuite featuring double vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, double rain shower, and a private outdoor shower surrounded by tropical greenery. The remaining bedrooms include a king suite, a room with two queens, and a bunk room with two custom full-over-full bunk beds — each with its own ensuite bathroom. The upper suites open onto private terraces overlooking the landscape.
The apartment. For guests who want their own world.
A detached sixth-bedroom apartment sits separately from the main house — double bed, ensuite bathroom, and kitchenette. Ideal for extended family, accompanying staff, or anyone who prefers independence without leaving the property.
The yoga deck. Sunrise optional. Recommended.
A private yoga deck set within the natural surroundings of the property. Designed for morning practice, guided wellness sessions, meditation, or simply sitting still long enough to hear the jungle. The kind of space that makes the rest of the day better.

LOCATION Peninsula Papagayo, 45 minutes from Liberia International Airport. A private, gated community on Costa Rica's Pacific coast with access to Prieta Beach Club, championship golf, world-class dining, Marina Papagayo, water sports, nature trails, and Papagayo Park. Everything the peninsula offers is within reach.
This villa is located in one of the nicest peninsulas I have ever been on and I travel a lot! The place is freshly remodeled and has very wonderful decor and views. The kitchen was stocked to feel like a home. I enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and hear the howler monkeys near by talking. We enjoyed golf carting all over the property and the tours and drivers were magnificent. Beds are super comfortable! Luxury in the rainforest/jungle. Pura Vida!
Wonderful stay at this home in Costa Rica. Hosts were very responsive, provided for flexible check-in times with earlier flight arrival and continually followed-up throughout the stay. Their concierge, Hazel, was phenomenal to work with. She helped organize golf, excursions, in-house spa treatments and access to Prieta Beach Club and Papagayo Park. She also set us up with a fantastic chef for in-house dinners and breakfasts. Overall, a great experience and wonderful family vacation. The new Papagayo Park, in particular, was a huge hit with our kids.
What an amazing place! The decor and the furnishings, the view, the location, the concierge… we had a blast! It was luxury in every way. Thank you for hosting our family! We made so many amazing memories!
This was our family's first visit to Costa Rica, and it exceeded ALL of our expectations! The communication and planning was all extremely helpful from the help of Megan, Harrison and their friendly concierge and staff. The home is pristine and provides such a sense of calm. Beautifully decorated, with an unbelievable view, comfortable in every room and amazing room and deck to gather together. The pools on the property seemed private, as our family was the only one using it, and then we ventured off to the Prieta Beach Club and other activities each afternoon that made it the perfect vacation of relaxation as well as adventure. Please the whole family from adults, to teenagers and younger elementary. We are so grateful to this team, and cannot wait to come back again in the near future! Pura Vida :)
Had a fantastic stay with my wife and 18+19 year old kids. Prieta club has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. Great food, privacy, fantastic service. Lots of other dinner options also at the four seasons. Great breakfast there too. We’ve been to CR 7-times and have toured the country so being on the peninsula was perfect for us. Jet skied a few times, went fishing for half a day and checked out all of the beaches on our golf cart. The flat was perfect - great views and plenty of room. We’ll def be back. Thank you for a terrific week.
This AirBnB exceeded all of our expectations. It was spacious, beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, and well equipped. The setting and view are beautiful. You have access to the Prieta Beach club for an extra charge and it is wonderful. Excellent food, fantastic facilities, beautiful private beach. The concierge was very helpful in making all arrangements. We had daily housekeeping and a private chef that she arranged. All excellent. There are also two swimming pools adjacent to the unit that were completely private when we used them.We had considered staying at the Four Seasons resort, which is much more expensive, but I’m very glad we didn’t. This was much more spacious and private and The Four Seasons was more crowded and commercial when we went to check it out.Note that the unit is up one flight of stairs. I highly recommend this unit without any reservations. We very much hope we will have a chance to come back and enjoy it again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Harrison and Megan's home in Papagayo. We were over new year's with our two kids (7 and 5) and didn't want to leave! The home itself is breathtaking — gorgeous views, beautiful design, and the list goes on. You must get the golf cart to putter around the peninsula! We were also able to use concierge services, and our concierge was amazing. She helped us set up a private boat tour with snorkeling and fishing, as well as babysitting services so we could have a date night. We also had groceries delivered to the house before our arrival which made everything so much easier. We also loved visiting the Pirata Beach Club — and the day pass included a kids club that our kids adored! We've stayed at a lot of AirBnBs over the years, and this may be our favorite. Can't wait to come back!
Lovely stay in this beautiful home. Very well appointed, clean and spectacular views. Much larger than the pictures look. Beach club was lovely and access to resort restaurants was nice but having a villa was what of all worlds. Good communication throughout.

Everything you need for a seamless stay
The Smart Villas is a curated collection of luxury villas, not a marketplace. That means no platform fees, no service charges, and no algorithm deciding what you see. Booking directly with us typically saves guests 12–15% compared to the same property listed on Airbnb or VRBO.
Every home is individually selected, and every stay is concierged by our team from arrival to departure. Guests don't deal with an app or a call center. They deal with people who know these homes personally and handle every detail — transfers, restaurant reservations, local experiences — as a baseline, not an add-on.
Staying in a Smart Villa means you get the full Papagayo resort experience without being confined to one property.
Golf cart to the Four Seasons for dinner. Walk to the Ritz-Carlton Reserve for a spa treatment. Hit the Arnold Palmer Golf Course in the morning, come home to your private pool in the afternoon. The beach clubs, the restaurants, the activities, all of it is accessible.
You're just not paying resort prices to sleep in a hotel room when you could have an entire home. The guests who choose a villa aren't skipping the resort experience. They're adding to it.
