Set on a secluded peninsula along Costa Rica’s spectacular Guanacaste coastline, Velas Peninsula Estate is a rare private beachfront retreat surrounded by tropical forest, rolling ranch land, and miles of unspoiled Pacific shoreline. Positioned within a vast 1,700 acre private coastal ranch just north of Tamarindo, the estate offers extraordinary privacy and a sense of immersion in nature that feels both remote and deeply restorative.
Designed in the spirit of a traditional Costa Rican hacienda, the estate combines elegant architecture with relaxed coastal living. Four dramatic thatched roof guest ranchos are arranged across lush tropical grounds just steps from the ocean. Each rancho is a striking two storey structure featuring expansive terraces and open air living spaces that face directly towards the sea, allowing the sound of waves and ocean breezes to shape the rhythm of daily life.
