Casa Lanui | Santa Teresa, Costa Rica | Luxury Beachfront Villa

Casa Lanui is one of the most exceptional luxury villas in Costa Rica—an expansive 9,340-square-foot retreat set on a private 1.6-acre oceanfront estate. Located in the exclusive northern stretch of Santa Teresa the villa is surrounded by lush jungle and native trees. This five-star villa blends modern architecture with earthy design, offering a serene beachfront sanctuary where guests can truly unwind.

Designed for large families and groups, this 7-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom villa accommodates guests in total comfort and privacy. Three of the master suites enjoy direct ocean views, while a fourth master overlooks the tranquil tropical gardens. Two additional bedrooms feature custom bunk beds designed for children or teens, sleeping up to eight. A separate studio with a king bed, kitchenette, and full bathroom provides an ideal hideaway for accompanying staff or guests seeking additional independence. This studio is thoughtfully designed with accessibility features, making Casa Lanui suitable for guests with mobility needs.

The villa’s main living area is a breathtaking open-air space where nature and architecture merge seamlessly. Floor-to-ceiling openings allow the entire room to extend toward the pool, deck, and beach, creating a fluid indoor–outdoor experience. Polished concrete, natural wood, large glass panels, and sculptural design accents create an atmosphere that is both modern and organic. The expansive lounge is furnished with plush seating, handcrafted décor, and a 60-inch television, making it an inviting spot for relaxed gatherings.

Guests will enjoy two fully equipped kitchens—a main chef’s kitchen and a preparation kitchen—ideal for cooking for large groups or bringing in private chefs. Seating is abundant, with bar stools at the kitchen island, a console-style dining table as well as official dining area for up to 20 guests. The villa’s outdoor living spaces capture the essence of tropical luxury. The infinity-edge pool stretches toward the foliage, featuring submerged loungers and shallow hang-out areas perfect for cooling off under the Costa Rican sun. Multiple sunbeds and seating areas surround the pool, while the shaded terrace offers cozy lounge chairs and serene spaces to slow down and relax. Casa Lanui also includes an outdoor space dedicated to spa treatments, yoga, and workouts—a tranquil area surrounded by nature where guests can begin or end their day with balance and calm. Its privileged location, generous layout, and seamless indoor–outdoor flow create an unparalleled environment for wellness, celebration, and togetherness.

Between the house and the beach lies a naturally shaded garden filled with hammocks, loungers, and quiet corners where guests can relax in the dappled sunlight. The soft white-sand beach directly in front of the villa is one of Santa Teresa’s most beautiful stretches—private, peaceful, and framed by consistent waves that attract surfers from around the world. Whether guests hope to surf the breaks, swim in the warm Pacific, or simply watch the sun melt into the horizon, this beachfront setting is nothing short of magical.
