Iconic Architectural Residence
Playa Hermosa, Santa Teresa, Cobano, Puntarenas, Puntarenas, Costa Rica 60111

Completed in November 2025, this exceptional architectural home above Playa Hermosa was designed by renowned Mexican architect Manuel Cervantes. The property presents a distinctive interpretation of contemporary tropical living, defined by thoughtful architecture, natural materials, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

The design draws inspiration from the enduring forms and raw beauty of ancient Latin American architecture. Locally sourced Pacific cedar, Nicaraguan brick, and hand-applied chukum stucco bring warmth, texture, and a distinctly regional character to the contemporary design. Rather than being organized as one conventional structure, the residence is composed of several separate pavilions. Open-air walkways, landscaped areas, and water elements connect the individual spaces, creating a natural flow throughout the property.

The central pavilion serves as the primary gathering space, with a sunken circular lounge, dining area, and chef’s kitchen arranged in an open layout. Designed to remain closely connected to the outdoors, the space opens naturally onto the surrounding terraces and landscape. A separate pavilion provides additional living space, including a media room and office. Two other pavilions contain five private bedroom suites, each carefully positioned to provide comfort, privacy, and views of the tropical surroundings.

The pool area is defined by two distinctive asymmetrical pyramid structures that serve as both architectural focal points and functional spaces. These sculptural forms provide areas for relaxing, sunbathing, socializing, and quiet reflection, while also incorporating wellness amenities including a sauna and cold plunge experience.

The villa offers approximately 4,200 square feet of interior living space, along with extensive outdoor areas, entertainment spaces, a swimming pool, wellness facilities, and covered parking.

Set in Playa Hermosa, the most desirable area near Santa Teresa, the property is located just minutes from renowned surf breaks and beautiful beaches. With its memorable architectural design, exceptional craftsmanship, privacy, and strong connection to the outdoors, this is a truly unique residence in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after coastal destinations.
