Villa Paraiso

Montezuma, Costa Rica, Central America
4 Bedrooms, 8 Bathrooms(4 Ensuite), Pool
From USD $5714 per night

VILLA DESCRIPTION

Villa Paraiso is a spectacular 20,000 plus square foot compound made up of multiple structures set in over 13 lush tropical acres of paradise located in the remote village of Montezuma on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica’s stunning Nicoya Pennisula.

A professional six-star staff will provide you with distinguished service at this premier and exclusive private compound. The five staff members will serve your every need including a bilingual American concierge.

Renowned Costa Rican architect, Ronald Zurcher (perhaps best known for his design of Costa Rica’s only Four Seasons Hotel) designed this private compound which is made up of three gorgeous guest rooms on the first level, with a palatial master suite on the second level. Every room offers breathtaking ocean views.

Enjoy a workout, yoga or massage in the gym that is strategically placed on top of a dramatic 100 yard high cliff top perch that allows for unobstructed 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean. The stables hold 4 horses which can be used to navigate the property, Montezuma or an afternoon jaunt up the sandy coast.

The spacious living room merges seamlessly with the elegant dining room. Both rooms offer sweeping ocean views with an easy indoor/outdoor flow to the terrace and pool/spa/bar area. And a little tropical rain might be the perfect time to enjoy the state-of-the-art home theater that has seating for 8 with over 200 channels of widescreen, high definition and movies from the U.S.A.

Explore one of Montezuma’s many dazzling beaches or visit Mal Pais for some world class surfing. Take a quad 15 minutes down the coastal road to Cabo Blanco, one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful nature preserves.

Or stay at home and enjoy the large free-form infinity pool with swim-up bar that seats 12, in and out of the water. Equipped with a 42 inch LCD screen, barbecue grill and a wood-fire pizza oven; this area is the center of outdoor entertainment at Villa Paraiso.

Experience the ultra-private, oversized hot Jacuzzi© after sundown where you can enjoy a warm ocean breeze, a brilliantly detailed moon, a universe of stars, and the mysterious sounds of the jungle at night.

A 100 yard private suspension bridge was engineered to provide guests with a shortcut from the Villa to the bohemian streets of Montezuma, which is known for its striking natural surroundings and wildlife: Howler and white faced Capuchin monkeys and colorful iguanas which seem never more than a glance away. The restaurants and bars of Montezuma, jungle canopy tour, finest beaches, access to boating and big game fishing are all within walking distance from the Villa.

A day trip to Isla Tortuga for swimming and snorkeling among hundreds of colorful species of fish as well as whales, giant mantas, dolphins and sea turtles makes for a fun, relaxing and memorable day.

Completely private, 24 hour security and surveillance, internet, a driver should one need, tour guides, surfing coaches, the finest cigars and just about anything imaginable can be made available to you at Villa Paraiso. While food, alcohol and cigars are not included with Villa Paraiso, we can have anything delivered to the house and prepared for guests with proper notice.

Villa Paraiso is the ultimate experience for the most discriminating connoisseurs of the finest, most exclusive properties around the world. The property was built and is used as a fine home, not as a rental, so you will enjoy our facilities that much more.

Pura Vida in Costa Rica

 

The name might mean Rich coast’, but Costa Rica has far more to offer than just warm beaches. In fact, most of my fondest memories of the country are of the people, wildlife, and cuisine. The general attitude of most ticos (the nickname for residents of the country) can be summed up in the country’s motto: ‘Pura Vida,’ which literally means ‘pure life.’ The meaning is closer to that of ‘hakuna matata,’ though, minus the singing warthog and meerkat (or perhaps replaced by an anteater and an agouti). It’s a refreshing and welcome change of pace from the hustle and bustle of American city life, and the perfect setting for an idyllic vacation.

I also found that the relaxing tone of the populous allowed me to better concentrate on the two things I’d come to Costa Rica for: to see all the animals I’d read about in books since I was a child, and to expand my palette. I wasn’t disappointed on either front, although some of my animal encounters of the six and eight-legged variety were a little too close for comfort! By far, my favorite area for wildlife viewing was Tortuguero, on the northern Caribbean coast. I’ve never seen so many different species of animals in one place! I truly felt like I was in a nature documentary when I was there. Between all of the sea birds, lizards, monkeys, bats, and other exotic creatures, I was in heaven. Seeing a toucan that wasn’t on a cereal box and standing close enough to a wild caiman that I could count its teeth were two things I never thought I’d get to do in my life.

 

For some reason tico cuisine sometimes gets a bad rep, but I think the people who complain had probably eaten in the wrong places.  I still have a ‘see-food’ diet, as in, when I see food, I eat it. I relish any opportunity to try local specialties that I can’t find some other places. My favorite culinary discovery in Costa Rica was maracuyá, or passionfruit. I’d order a maracuyá agua fresca, a fresh juice drink, everywhere I could. I also came to love all of the comida típica (typical food), but especially gallo pinto, a beans and rice dish eaten for breakfast.

All this talk of Costa Rica and comida típica is making me hungry for dinner and adventure! Although I’ve been to the country a few times, I hope to go back again to visit all of my amigos, to bask in the beauty of nature at its wildest, and of course to eat the delicious food.

Rainforest, Volcano & Beach 
Combining three of our most popular destinations in Costa Rica: Tortuguero National Park, Arenal Volcano and Guanacaste beach area. One of our more well rounded and popular Costa Rican vacations.

A Bit of Eco-Tourism

Here as Independent Travelers we are reading more and more about eco-tourism in the news and hearing it more in conversations. There’s an ever-increasing amount of information available on what constitutes eco-tourism and what exactly it means. Sometimes it’s referred to as sustainable tourism or green tourism or even responsible tourism. Whichever term you want to use, many travelers are interested in reducing their impact on the land, supporting the local communities they are visiting and almost everyone seems to be responding to that demand.

So what’s an eco-tourist to do? Just pack their bags and head off to Costa Rica? That’s an option, certainly. With over 25% of its land dedicated to national parks and protecting 6% of the world’s biodiversity, there’s plenty for the eco-tourist to experience in Costa Rica. You’ve already read a bit about Tortuguero National Park with its turtles, manatees, and other wildlife. Another great feature is the majority of the day tours happen on the water, reducing the impact of tourism on land.

There’s also Monteverde Cloud Forest. The variety of birds and orchids alone make this a pretty spectacular place to visit. One of the impressive things about Monteverde is that it’s privately held by a non-profit organization and is not as susceptible to the flux in funding available for protection and conservation as the National Parks. Much like the Nature Conservancy in the US, it is controlled by a non-profit who safeguards the land and the ecology. Horseback riding in the clouds is one of those “must do” things!

 

Perhaps Costa Rica’s already been done and you are looking for something a bit more adventurous. We’ve got one word for you: Manu. It’s in Peru, so it would be simple to add this on to a trip to Cuzco and Machu Picchu.

The Manu National Park contains 1,000 species of birds, or one out of every nine on Earth. Approximately 550 bird species occur within a few square miles of lowland forest. But it’s not just the birds that are amazing; this densely populated area is home to some of the greatest biodiversity on the planet, including 10 species of monkeys along with some pretty awe-inspiring tree ferns and other plant life. All in all, this is probably the most adventurous type of eco-tourism for most travelers.

As we all move ahead, the landscape of traveling is changing, and eco-travel and responsible tourism options for travelers and vacationers will only grow. Hopefully, we all believe it’s good to see more people thinking about how, when and where they travel.
