(Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica, January 18, 2024) – Andaz Costa RicaResort at Peninsula Papagayo, a world-class eco-luxury retreat located within the 1,400-acre private resort community of Peninsula Papagayo, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its 25 new 1-2-3-bedroom residential villas.

An exclusive new hillside neighborhood with stunning views of Culebra Bay has been added to the resort. Designed by the esteemed Costa Rican architect, Ronald Zürcher, renowned for his signature organic style that seamlessly blends architecture with the surrounding landscape, the residential villas showcase the rich local art and expansive views. Guests staying at the one and two-bedroom villas will enjoy indoor/outdoor living and a large private plunge pool on their terrace.

Villa guests will appreciate privileged access to elevated culinary offerings, including an array of chef-curated market-fresh baskets and a complimentary afternoon aperitivo delivered to the villa. Coffee connoisseurs will relish in the in-villa coffee program, meticulously developed by the resort’s award-winning Head Barista. In addition, guests will have exclusive access to breakfast at Ostra and priority dinner reservations at the recently reimagined restaurant led by the renowned Michelin-chef trained Chef Bruno Alves. Those keen on immersing themselves in the local community can visit a nearby village and participate in a community gardening project to handpick produce for a personalized chef-prepared dinner inside their villa.
