Main Floor
Great Room
The three-story great room anchored by Valenzuela's reclaimed-wood feature wall -- built from the villa's own construction remnants. His large abstract canvas hangs in the adjacent dining hall above a ten-person table.

Main Floor
Pool Terrace & Infinity Pool
The infinity pool opens to Tamarindo Bay, its edge dissolving into the horizon. A massive Guanacaste natural-edge slab table seats eight to ten for outdoor dining right at the water.

Main Floor
Jacuzzi Terrace
Directly outside the Theater Room's French doors: a private terrace with jacuzzi and fire pit. Sunset here -- the sky turning orange over the bay, sailboats at anchor below -- is the villa's signature evening experience.

Lower Level
Theater Room
A Matapalo chandelier hangs above a white U-shaped sectional. Motorized blackout shades drop behind linen curtains for true cinema darkness. The other wall is floor-to-ceiling French doors: the Pacific just beyond.

The Bar & Lower Terrace
A full bar with glowing onyx island, bamboo ceiling, and woven walls. A charcoal barbecue and lounge seating extend beyond it, with views up toward the infinity pool and out to the Pacific.

Main Floor
Kitchen
A gourmet kitchen with copper hood and gas range flows into a professional cook's kitchen behind it -- ideal for catered events and in-villa chefs. Murano glass art tucked between cabinet columns.
The Grounds
Gardens & Grounds
The lush gardens and pathways, the two-story fountain courtyard, outdoor terraces, the lower-level bar, and the guest house area -- the parts of the property that still photos rarely capture.

Lush tropical gardens with local fruit trees and flowering plantings wind between levels. Leaf-impressed concrete paths connect the upper gate to the terraces below. Howler monkeys visit.

Upper Level
Two-Story Fountain
Water cascades from three copper spigots down a full story to a courtyard of large ceramic urns below. The bas relief walls flanking it are Valenzuela's work. The entire tiled floor floods when the fountain runs.

Lower Level
Massage Alcove
A curtained outdoor alcove with massage table, a back wall of brass candle holders, a teak cabinet with stone vessel sink, and a leaf-impression ceiling -- Valenzuela's technique carried into a covered outdoor space.

Upper Gate
The Arrival
The firefly cutout gate. Leaf-impressed concrete driveway from gate to garage. The antique hand-carved Indian wood frame surrounding the copper front door. Open it and see the Pacific.
The Bedrooms
Individual 360° tours for each of the six sleeping spaces are embedded alongside their descriptions on The Villa page -- where architecture details, design notes, and the antique Thai panels put each room in context.
