Playa Buena Vista Retreat Center , Sámara, Guanacaste

From the moment you arrive, the retreat reveals itself through subtle cues: the call of monkeys in the canopy, native gardens warmed by the sun, horses moving freely across the land, and the distant rhythm of the ocean meeting the jungle. The feeling is immediate--this is a place shaped by intention and nature.

Set on 6.7 acres of pristine tropical landscape, the property is located approximately 750 meters from a government-protected beach, an easy eight-minute walk to Playa Buena Vista, and ideally positioned between Samara and Nosara. Originally built in 2009, the estate has been thoughtfully developed to live in harmony with its surroundings.

At the heart of the property stands Haven, a striking 65-foot-tall circular Grand Casita. Featuring a full kitchen, four unique bedrooms, and an open second-floor loft, the structure creates a powerful sense of openness and presence.

Garden paths lead to nine additional private casitas, each placed for privacy and individuality. In total, the estate offers 20 beds and 14 bathrooms, comfortably hosting up to 24 guests, with the ability to expand to 30. Ample undeveloped land remains, allowing for future casitas, villas, or expanded concepts.

Currently operating as a retreat center, the property can also function as a boutique hotel, private estate, family compound, or income-producing hospitality venture. Outdoor living is central to the experience, with a serene pool surrounded by tropical gardens, shaded lounge areas, and quiet meditation spaces throughout the grounds.

A signature open-air pavilion overlooks the jungle and serves as an ideal setting for yoga, ceremonies, workshops, or corporate wellness programs. Near the entrance, a dedicated social and operational hub includes a commercial kitchen, covered dining areas, lounge spaces, private staff quarters, laundry facilities, storage, reception, and ample parking--ensuring smooth daily operations.
