Villa Cielo
Guanacaste, Costa Rica
On a Working Organic Fruit Farm, a Curvaceous Hilltop Villa for Yogis, Surfers and Pleasure Seekers
Cielo is Spanish for heaven, and well, this feels pretty close. A private working farm spread across 60 pastoral acres In Costa Rica, the villa is replete with lush tropical gardens and mango orchards. It is just an eight minute drive from the world-class crests that have drawn top-tier surfers since the 1960s.
Curvaceous and sculptural, the dwelling invites you into its living room that opens with a Moorish-style arch, and has a mosaicked floor with a beautiful mandala in the center, all surrounded by circular clerestory windows. Sprawl out in the common areas, challenge a travel mate to a game of ping pong on the ocean view terrace that wraps around the home’s west side, or prepare a delectable meal in the earthen chef’s kitchen with its boomerang-shaped green island.
This villa in Costa Rica can accommodate up to 11 guests, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Views are at their most magnificent from the upstairs master balcony, and the fourth bedroom with its own staircase that calls up a castle’s turret.
Each of the rooms are furnished with hotel-quality linens and pool towels - something you’ll want to grab on your way to the infinity pool that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
The rounded organic forms of this special home coexist harmoniously with the teeming, thriving life around it. Gather here and it may seem like all of life has soft edges.
