A private paradise with an infinity pool and yoga deck on the shores of Santa Teresa

Set on a peaceful stretch of Santa Teresa’s northern coastline, Casa Lanui is a spacious beachfront retreat designed for barefoot living with all the comforts of a luxury villa. Surrounded by native vegetation and tucked just behind the sand, it offers a rare combination of seclusion, space and direct beach access in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after locations.

The outdoor areas are designed to embody the beach lifestyle, featuring an infinity pool at the centre and multiple spaces for relaxation, dining, and unwinding. Palm-shaded hammocks dot the garden while an open yoga and massage deck sits discreetly to one side, ideal for private sunrise sessions or afternoon retreats. A generously sized dining table situated near the shore is perfectly positioned for sundowners or dinners beneath the trees. Meanwhile, the main terrace seamlessly connects to the pool, complete with ample sun loungers and a shaded outdoor lounge.

Inside, the villa is open and airy, with polished concrete floors, clean-lined furnishings and a natural palette that reflects the tropical setting. The main living area is fully open to the terrace and garden beyond, with a relaxed lounge space, a large dining table and an open-plan kitchen with a breakfast island. A separate prep kitchen makes this villa particularly well-suited for chef-catered stays.

There are seven well-appointed bedrooms set across the main villa and a detached studio. Three bedrooms face the sea with direct access to the terrace, while a fourth king-size suite sits at the rear with its own private terrace and outdoor shower. Two further bedrooms are designed with younger guests in mind, each sleeping four in bunk beds with an additional twin and decorated in the same calm, understated style. The final bedroom is located in a private garden studio, with a kitchenette and a private garden—ideal for guests seeking extra privacy and independence.

Set just steps from the sand, Casa Lanui offers a fresh, easy-going base for a beachfront stay in Santa Teresa, where guests can enjoy breathtaking ocean views and stunning sunsets.
