With truly spectacular views of the Las Baulas Marine National Park and surrounded by lush countryside, Casa Temple is a temple to all things refined. This sublime four-bedroom Costa Rican villa rental comfortably sleeps up to ten guests, making it an ideal choice for a special family celebration or anniversary vacation. Situated in prestigious North Tamarindo, it captures that laid-back, relaxed lifestyle that Costa Rica is so famous for.

Tamarindo is a unique combination of extraordinary natural beauty and a vibrant, energetic town. At its heart are the white sand beaches that line the coastline, providing water sports lovers with some of the finest surfing and windsurfing conditions in Costa Rica. After a busy morning at the beach, the town's restaurants offer a wealth of delicious lunches, including local dishes like casado, a combination of rice, stewed beans, picadillo (chopped vegetables) and plantain, served with either beef, chicken or pork. For a more extravagant evening meal, your dedicated concierge can arrange reservations at the best eateries in town.

Casa Temple is one of those villas where you immediately feel at home. With a team to take care of your needs and panoramic views to enjoy, this is a place where you can rediscover your inner peace and serenity. The open-plan living concept flows effortlessly from the refined interior to the sun-kissed exterior, with minimal barriers between the two. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen lets you try your hand at a little Costa Rican cooking or ask your concierge to arrange for a chef to whip up a culinary feast served in the stylish dining room or al fresco on the terrace.

The villa features four exquisite bedrooms that provide flexible sleeping arrangements. The primary suite has an indulgent king-size bed and private terrace, with an enchanting ensuite embellished with spa-standard fixtures. Two further guest rooms have king-size beds and soothing décor, ensuring a peaceful night's rest. The final bedroom is an exciting mix of fun and functionality, with four double beds arranged in a bunk layout, with stairs running to the upper beds and cosy nooks where you can snuggle in for the night. This room would be just right for younger guests or groups that don't mind sharing.

Outside, a wrap-around terrace lets you choose a shady spot for a sneaky afternoon snooze or sun-kissed loungers to soak up the rays. The swimming pool is a welcome opportunity to cool off, and the al fresco dining area with gas BBQ is just right for a relaxed family brunch with some juicy king prawns or lobster tails done to perfection.
