Why Guests Love It

As seasoned travelers ourselves, we designed Villa Encantada to be the kind of place we would want to stay with the comfort of home with adventure just waiting outside the front door.

Enchanted. Captivated. Beguiled. Bewitched.

That’s how guests describe Villa Encantada—and once you arrive, you’ll understand why.

The natural beauty of Costa Rica surrounds you here. Black and white sand beaches stretch for miles. Pelicans glide overhead. And each evening, the sun melts into the Pacific in a way that never feels routine—no matter how many times you see it.

This is Costa Rica at its most unforgettable.

The Location You Want (without or without the crowds)

Perfectly situated across the street from Playa Langosta, the Villa offers a quieter, more relaxed experience—while still being just a short walk from the vibrant energy of Tamarindo.

Spend your mornings walking along tree-lined shores.
Your afternoons exploring shops, restaurants, or surf breaks.
And your evenings exactly how you choose—out on the town or back home in your own private retreat.

Designed for Comfort, Space & Connection

With over 2,100 square feet of Moorish-inspired design, Villa Encantada blends indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.

Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area filled with natural light
Handcrafted hardwood details and Moroccan-inspired tiles throughout
Fully equipped gourmet kitchen with modern appliances
Comfortable living space with WiFi, flat screen TV, and Sonos sound system

Whether you're sharing a meal, playing games, or simply relaxing after a day in the sun, the space is designed to bring people together—without ever feeling crowded.

Your Own Private Pool Retreat

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and 10-foot privacy walls, the villa’s oversized pool is one of its most loved features—and the largest in the development.

Swim when you want. Lounge where you want. No schedules. No crowds. No interruptions.

The pool area also features:

Shaded seating and dining areas
Ornate fountain details
A peaceful patio space ideal for yoga, reading, or simply doing nothing at all

Rest Easy, Wake Refreshed

Each of the villa’s three bedrooms is designed for comfort and privacy, all featuring en suite bathrooms and premium bedding.

Two spacious primary suites with queen beds and private outdoor spaces
Flexible guest room with king or twin configuration
Open-air elements and tropical garden touches in select bathrooms

At night, open the screened windows and let the ocean breeze and distant surf carry you into a restful sleep.

Adventure or Relaxation—You Choose

Spend your days surfing, snorkeling, ziplining through rainforest canopies, or simply unwinding on a sunset cruise. Or do nothing at all—just steps away, Playa Langosta offers miles of quiet shoreline.

We believe a great stay goes beyond just the property.

From your first inquiry to your final day, we’re committed to being responsive, helpful, and attentive—something our guests consistently mention in their reviews.

Our local concierge partner is also available to assist with:

Airport transfers
Excursions and tours
Private chefs and in-villa services
Restaurant recommendations and reservations

We want your experience to feel effortless from start to finish.

Peace of Mind During Your Stay
Monitored security
Nearby medical, dental, and pharmacy services in Tamarindo
Safe drinking water via double-filtered system
On-demand hot water throughout the villa

Your Costa Rica Experience Starts Here

Villa Encantada isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to experience Costa Rica in a way that feels personal, relaxed, and unforgettable.

And once you’ve been here, you’ll understand why so many guests return again—and again.

    Perfect for families. Far enough from main area of Tamarindo to be quiet, but close enough to walk or very short drive. Beach access to Playa Langosta across the street. The pool is heavenly and private. Russell was extremely available and communicative. Would highly recommend. Tandoor is a solid Indian restaurant literally next door, and Fish and Cheeses is a very good Italian restaurant 3-5 min walk away. They had plenty of homemade pastas, cheese, and even guanciale!

    We loved the pool. The location was great also. Within walking distance to good restaurants and close enough to town to enjoy the shops, restaurants and cafes. The house had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. The owners were super responsive to any questions or requests. Thank you so much!

    A truly enchanting escape in Playa Langosta, away from the hustle of Tamarindo. My family had a marvelous stay. Great memories made. The host and the management (RPM) were responsive and very accommodating. Highly recommend Villa Encantada!

    Very easy to get there with the directions provided. With temeratures in the mid 90 (30 C) we loved the private pool and used it often.Very safe and quiet to sleep with the windows open. Doing so allowed us to hear the Howler monkeys in the morning...Magical experience.

    Location was great. One minute walk to beach to watch the sunset almost every evening. Property management was very responsive to any needs that we had. Real old world, charm and a beautiful outdoor area with trees, plants and a pool. location. Quiet area, but yet only four minutes away by golf cart to Tamarindo, where a lot of action is going on. I would definitely recommend this place.

    THIS was our best family vacay yet! And we have traveled all over the world. We felt like we were entering a Moroccan oasis… in Costa Rica. We LOVED the pool. We cooked the whole 8 days and had everything we needed. The villa is right across the street from the most gorgeous sunset. Owners were responsive and care…great hosts! We got to see a monkey family right outside the villa. The location is quiet yet still central to everything. We will be back! Pura Vida.

    The pictures of this property are accurate. The location and facilities really hit the sweet spot. The property is across the street from a comparatively unpopulated beach and there is an easy access path. It's not far to get to the really populated Tamarindo beach when that is what you want. At the middle of the day when you want to get out of the sun and take a break the private pool and courtyard are heaven on earth. Just add your favorite beverage and relax; we spent A LOT of time doing just that. Host communications were a breeze.

    This home was beyond perfect for our family of 6- all adults. We loved the layout (private baths for each bedroom- each open air) and decor, the pool, the well stocked kitchen and most importantly, the proximity to the beach! There is a short path right across the street that leads to the most gorgeous beach. Although not ideal for swimming (too rocky) it does have tidal pools for lounging and the most gorgeous sunset viewing! Russ was so helpful from the time of booking and in the days leading up to our stay. We were on the go much of the time, but were always so happy to return home to the villa. We can't wait to return!

    The property was charming. A pool with a fountain running welcomed us and inside the house was painted in beautiful colors. The accommodations were exceptional. The beds incredible comfortable. We had a few minor issues (the water for showers was lukewarm for example) but the property management company addressed those immediately. We rented a golf cart and were able to get around town quite easily. Despite the rain we had a blast and the neighborhood was quiet. I can’t say the we were but then how often does one turn seventy! It is one I will never forget

    The rooms were comfortable and we slept well with the sound of rain in the outdoor living spaces. We had a chef prepare a delicious brunch. The beach is beautiful and a short walk across the street. The house and pool are perfect for the setting in the quaint town of Tamarindo. Would highly recommend, and will be back to stay again. Thank you!!!!

    We instantly felt right at home at Villa Encantada, the space is stunning, the beds were comfortable, the pool temperature was perfect. Aside from the constant construction I think the house was perfect to host us for our girls trip. It was right across the street to the quiet beach and a short 20 minute walk to the town center.

    Had a great time! House is just as shown in pictures. Pool was amazing. With in walking distance to several good restaurants. The beach that you can walk to is really pretty, but isn’t really swimmable, it has lots of big rocks. But you can drive (about two min) or walk (abojt 20 min to another beach that is. Property manager was easy to contact. Overall great time!
