Moorish architecture near Prieta Beach Club
12 guests · 5 bedrooms · 5.5 bathrooms
Draw inspiration from the eclectic architecture, stunning views and five-star amenities at Villa Al Hambra. Loosely modeled on the famed palace in Spain, this luxury vacation rental is a beautifully furnished haven that was designed to make the most of the Pacific breezes—and views. Its setting on Costa Rica’s exclusive Peninsula Papagayo puts guests close to beaches, world-class golf and more.
Revel in the tropical sunshine in the villa’s two pools—one larger pool and one wading pool perfect for younger children—or at the lounge areas on the sunny terraces. Shaded sitting and dining areas provide a respite from the heat, and a wet bar makes it easy to relax or entertain. Inside, the property’s amenities range from a Sonos sound system and Netflix to Wi-Fi.
Designed by renowned Costa Rican architect Ronald Zurcher and gorgeously furnished by its interior-designer owner, Villa Al Hambra has magazine-worthy appeal. A mix of vintage, modern and new pieces from Morocco, Thailand, India, Central America and beyond fill the spacious living and dining rooms. In the fully equipped kitchen, a bold red range makes a fun focal point.
The villa’s five bedrooms—four in the main house and one in a casita, all with en-suite bathrooms—can accommodate groups of up to twelve friends and family. In the main house, there are two bedrooms with king beds, including a master to rival any honeymoon suite, one bedroom with two king beds, and one bedroom with two twin beds and a queen sofa bed. The casita has a king bed and its own private living area, kitchenette and terrace.
Spend your holiday watching the waves lap at the shore or listening to the birds call in the jungle, or seek adventure beyond the villa. Your stay includes access to the nearby Prieta Beach Club, Arnold Palmer golf course and a tennis facility, and it’s only 10 minutes in the provided golf cart to the Four Seasons golf course. For a memorable day trip, drive to Rincon de la Vieja Volcano National Park.
