Nestled on the Gold Coast of Costa Rica, Villa Alberti is a superior seven-bedroom villa that welcomes up to 21 guests, making it an ideal choice for a family reunion or celebration. Exquisitely decorated and designed by renowned architects Alberti and Abraham Valenzuela, it’s a masterclass in exemplary design concepts. Every element is bespoke, and no detail has been overlooked, including the addition of a magnificent 40ft waterfall as a centrepiece for this extraordinary villa.

The town of Las Catalinas sits on the Guanacaste Coast and is a charming, sleepy little town filled with whitewashed houses that turn gold as the evening sun hits them. It’s a place where you wander through plazas and parks and along streets lined with independent shops and restaurants. Further afield, you’ll find hiking and cycling trails through the unique ‘dry forest’, or try paddleboarding and a host of other water sports.

Villa Alberti is a showcase for architectural excellence. From the sublime elegance of the social areas to the refinement of the wine room and rooftop bar, it’s a space that encourages guests to mingle and experience a new way of living. A full team of chefs, bar staff and waiting staff ensure that meals and drinks are gourmet quality and utterly delicious, served in the open dining area with staggeringly beautiful sea views as you eat.

The seven suites are utterly enchanting, with custom detailing throughout. Six of the suites have king-size beds, with private terraces and ensuite bathrooms. The seventh suite is specifically designed for younger guests and is a wonderfully cosy space with a real ‘bunkhouse’ feeling, featuring three queen-size beds and three twin beds crafted into the biggest bunk bed you’ve ever seen.

With two swimming pools, a jacuzzi, and plenty of sports equipment to encourage guests to turn their vacation into a true experience, Villa Alberti is just as magnificent outside as it is inside. The result is an enchanting escape guaranteed to create memories that will last a lifetime.
