Tamarindo, Costa Rica
Villa Luciérnaga
For the families who vacation together. Five bedrooms, a bunk room sleeping nine children, and space for up to 19 guests -- perched above Tamarindo's Pacific coast, just a seven-minute walk to the beach.
The Property
Where Every Detail Is Made by Hand
An Architect's Vision
Designed by Abraham Valenzuela -- one of Costa Rica's most distinguished architects, known for the country's most celebrated private residences. Every ceiling in the villa is his invention. Every corridor reveals another handmade detail. Nothing is ordinary.
Indoor-Outdoor Living
An infinity pool, jacuzzi, fire pit terrace, full outdoor bar, massage alcove, and natural grass lawn -- each a distinct space, all connected by garden paths and the constant presence of the Pacific below.
Room for Every Generation
Two equally-appointed primary suites -- no hierarchy between couples. A bunk room sleeping nine children in their own world. Five bedrooms, nineteen guests total, every one of them with Pacific views.
Designed for Groups
The Villa Where Nobody Has to Compromise
Two equally-appointed primary suites mean both couples get the master -- each suite its own design, neither subordinate to the other. A dedicated bunk room gives nine children their own world, complete with ocean views and an ensuite with a soaking tub. Multiple independent living areas mean nineteen people can share a home without ever feeling crowded.
This is what Villa Luciérnaga was built for -- not just accommodating large groups, but making multi-family travel genuinely work.
From $4,000 per night. Shared by three families, that's roughly $1,350–$1,700 per family -- comparable to a pair of resort rooms, except here the infinity pool, chef's kitchen, and sunset terraces are all yours. Breakfast, daily housekeeping, and concierge service included; no cleaning fee.
