Waldorf Astoria conquers Costa Rica

We have to admit that luxury has never looked so attractive...

Located on the dramatic cliff-top of Cacique Peninsula in Costa Rica's celebrated Guanacaste Province, home to one of the world's "Blue Zones," Waldorf Astoria Residences Guanacaste is officially launched as the brand's debut in Costa Rica, bringing an unparalleled private ownership opportunity to an ecologically rich and visually stunning oceanfront setting.

With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Papagayo Bay, Waldorf Astoria Residences Guanacaste feature 19 condominium residences and 22 estate homes in addition to the anticipated 190-room Waldorf Astoria Guanacaste. The property is only 25 minutes from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (also known as Liberia International Airport), which offers direct flight access from San Francisco International Airport, as well as more than 20 other international and domestic locations.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the residences and community set a new standard for luxury living, prioritizing biophilic design, preserving unique natural topography and native species, and implementing highly efficient heating, cooling and wastewater systems. Waldorf Astoria partnered with an award-winning team of architects, designers and planners, including Garnier Arquitectos, Robles Arquitectos, Gensler and EDSA, to bring this vision to life, seamlessly integrating elements of the surrounding natural environment into the community.

This thoughtful design continues throughout, giving homeowners access to amenities just steps from the residences, including water features, a cenote-inspired spa built atop a natural stream, a beach club, multiple restaurants, event facilities and meeting rooms, and a soothing holistic wellness centre with a state-of-the-art gym, movement studio, outdoor yoga and thermal pools.

The 19 condominium residences range from two to three bedrooms at 150 to 220 square meters, with two-bedroom residences starting at $1.62 million and three-bedroom residences from $2.72 million. Buyers looking for larger accommodations can choose from 22 homes on the estate, with floor plans including four-bedroom, two-story homes at 399 square meters; five-bedroom, two-storey property on 498 square metres; and three-storey, five-bedroom properties on 499 square metres. Property prices start at $5.31 million for four-bedroom variants and $6.37 million for five-bedroom options. All residences and properties come fully furnished, and owners have the option to include their home in the vacation rental program.
