Reflecting a growing demand for residential-style luxury, The Retreat Costa Rica, an acclaimed luxury wellness boutique resort and spa, has completed Santosha Residence, a stunning 2,500-square-foot villa for couples, larger groups and extended stays.

Sleeping up to six guests, the three-bedroom residence – each suite with its own private bath – is located near Santosha Lofts, the resort’s new collection of luxury accommodations. Private and self-contained, it sits steps from the Santosha Clubhouse, The Retreat’s vibrant social, culinary and wellness space. Guests enjoy sweeping valley and ocean views and full access to resort amenities including the spa and wellness center, yoga studio, two saline swimming pools, organic gardens and the resort’s acclaimed restaurants.

Designed by The Retreat Costa Rica founder Diana Stobo, Santosha Residence was built by local artisans using locally sourced, sustainable materials. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows welcome abundant natural light and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

An extension of The Retreat’s recent expansion – including a clubhouse, two restaurants and 10 luxury lofts – Santosha Residence draws inspiration from Costa Rica’s abundant natural beauty and serene energy.

An Open, Airy Layout

The home is centered around an open-concept kitchen – equipped with high-end appliances – flowing into airy sitting areas with sweeping views. The dining space is an inviting setting for gatherings with friends or the indulgence of a private chef while the intimate living room provides a peaceful retreat for relaxation. The home includes a workspace, laundry area and amenities for longer stays.

Finely-crafted Furnishings, Masterful Fine Touches

Fully furnished with a muted palette of pale woods and soft neutrals, the furniture, fabrics and window coverings are rendered in earth tones, infusing warmth, elegance and effortless comfort. Hand-laid stone evokes old-world craftsmanship while locally made wood sculptures and original paintings by Stobo lend a deeply personal touch. With handsome marble accents, the kitchen showcases an island anchored by a farm sink with champagne-bronze fixtures and a quartz surface, subtly aged with an old-world patina that echoes the handcrafted stone hood and architectural details. Recessed and backlighting create an ambient glow complemented by the shimmer of crystal fixtures. Adorned with hand-forged iron hardware, each cabinet and door is crafted from responsibly sourced Costa Rican laurel.

Embracing the Outdoors

The expansive outdoor deck spans the length of the residence with built-in seating designed to capture panoramic mountain views and spectacular sunsets – the perfect setting for yoga, cocktails or quiet reflection.

Nightly rates for Santosha Residence begin at $3,330 with breakfast included, or $4,275 inclusive of all meals.
