About this property

Exclusive 8-BR Ocean-View Villa for Groups & Weddings – With Custom Meal Plans

Perched on the hills overlooking Playas del Coco in Guanacaste, Villa Buena Onda is not just a place to stay – it is a private sanctuary designed exclusively for groups of 8 guests or more. With only eight spacious suites, this luxury all-inclusive villa offers the intimacy of a private home combined with the service and amenities of a boutique resort.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll discover that Villa Buena Onda is different. Here, privacy and personalization are at the heart of every experience. Our chef prepares daily gourmet meals tailored to your group’s preferences, while our attentive team ensures every detail of your stay is effortless – from handcrafted cocktails by the pool to arranging curated excursions across Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

The property features two infinity-edge pools, expansive lounging terraces, tropical gardens, a wellness spa area, and open-air spaces perfect for yoga, celebrations, or simply enjoying the ocean views. Whether it’s a multi-generational family reunion, a destination wedding, a wellness retreat, or a corporate incentive trip, Villa Buena Onda provides the ideal setting for connection and celebration.

Unlike traditional hotels or vacation rentals, Villa Buena Onda is designed with large groups in mind. This is not a couple’s escape or a small-family getaway – it is a destination where your entire group can enjoy privacy, exclusivity, and the freedom of having a property all to yourselves.

Located just minutes from Playas del Coco and only 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport (LIR), the villa offers convenient access while still feeling worlds away from the ordinary. Golden beaches, national parks, and adventure activities are all within easy reach, allowing your group to combine relaxation with authentic Costa Rican experiences.

At Villa Buena Onda, you don’t simply book a room – you reserve an all-inclusive Costa Rican villa experience created exclusively for your group. It’s where luxury, nature, and connection meet. All bookings require a meal plan—quote your favorite one today!

Immaculate Paradise

Property was very clean, great location with amazing views. Very private yet close to amenities. The only thing that topped the property itself was the service provided by the staff.

Perfect spot for an event

We held our small wedding at villa buena onda. The staff went above and beyond to make it special and seamless. Our families loved the pool and the view was even more breathtaking in person. Highly recommend Villa Buena Onda for an event or group vacation!

Our group of 14 said this was the best trips we've ever had as a family, if not the best! When my husband and I travel solo, we enjoy resorts with exceptional service- such as Rosewood or the Four Seasons- and Villa Buena Onda exceeded our expectations. In a private rental you usually don't get the same level of service as you do at a resort (nor do I expect it). However, Villa Buena Onda provides a full service experienceFrom before booking to check out, Charlie was amazing! He replied promptly with detail to my questions (I had a lot)On a day to day basis, we had Samuel, Ashley &Nela on staff. Nela made delicious meals every day and was so sweet to make a cake for one of our guest's birthday. Ashley & Samuel took care of anything we needed during the day. A few went deep sea fishing. Samuel offered to clean the fish and then staff prepared it for lunch for us (even though we did not have lunch included in our meal plan- more on that later- and expected to clean the fish ourselves).The villa was gorgeous. Rooms were comfortable & well stocked.The grounds and outdoor setup provide your own private oasis. The covered lounge area with fans made it pleasant to sit outside all day by the pool. The spa is a nice touch and recommended. I recommend adding the full bar to the meal plan. We opted NOT to do it because there were a couple people in our group who don't drink, but in hindsight it would have been easier and well worth it. I highly recommend Villa Buena Onda!

It means the world to hear that your stay with us ranks among your best family trips ever, especially given your experience with exceptional properties. Delivering a high-touch, full-service experience in a private villa setting is exactly what we strive for, so your feedback really validates our team’s efforts. Charlie will be thrilled to hear your shoutout; he takes great pride in making the planning process seamless and informative. And we’re so happy Samuel, Ashley, and Nela made your stay extra special. From Nela’s birthday cake to preparing your fresh catch, it’s those personalized touches that we love creating for our guests. We’re also glad you enjoyed the villa, the outdoor spaces, and the spa; there’s nothing better than relaxing poolside in your own private oasis with a dedicated staff at your service. It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your group and we hope to welcome you all back again for another unforgettable stay. ¡Pura Vida!

Luxurious villa with amazing views

We had an exceptional experience with our family staying at Villa Buena Onda. The staff were wonderful and responsive. We felt right at home with our large family group and received excellent service throughout our stay. The staff really goes above and beyond to help you have a great stay. The views are stunning! Sunsets are an event to see each evening and we cannot say enough about the pools. Perfect for adults to unwind while kids play and enjoy the water. We highly recommend and hope to come back soon!

Just what we wanted!

Wonderful facility and an amazing staff! We loved our stay and had our expectations meet! We used the staff for meal service and the food was great. They worked with us to provide meals for our picky teenage eaters as well as fixed a gluten and dairy free option for our family members requiring that. Property access road was sub standard and provided many thrills and memorable laughs, but just just walk out on the pool patio and take in the view, and all is right in your vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Abigail Rivera

Host profile image

Perched on the hillsides overlooking Playas del Coco and amid lush tropical foliage, the Villa Buena Onda is a private, exclusive resort and an ideal destination for travelers looking for an escape where paradise meets privacy. All the comforts of home but with the accommodations of a luxury hotel including a full hospitality staff, gourmet chef, concierge and full service spa. The Villa Buena Onda is the ideal destination for family reunions, couple retreats, destination weddings or corporate off-sites.

Conveniently located to several beaches, restaurants and activities and only 35 minutes from Daniel Oduber, Liberia International Airport.

Why they chose this property

We chose Guanacaste because it is one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations in Costa Rica. Thanks to the construction of the Liberia international airport (LIR), guests can reach Villa Buena Onda and be on the beach within 35 minutes after arriving into the country! The Villa's property offers gorgeous views of Coco Bay and surrounding islands. The town of Coco is a quiet fishing village, not unlike the numerous Mexican resort towns 30 years ago.

Guests can enjoy access to a handful of beautiful, pristine beaches that are under 10-20 minutes away, as well as tours to National Parks, sport fishing, Canopy zip line tours, ATV tours, snorkeling, surfing and a whole array of water activities.

What makes this property unique

VBO is located in a prime location on the hills of Coco, in the northwest part of the Guanacaste Province, and surrounded by amazing views of the Papagayo Gulf & picturesque nature.
This area is a nature lover heaven with endless authentic Costa Rica activities nearby for your memorable vacation. You will enjoy the convenience of choosing between adventure, natural exploration, and relaxation.

Surfing, fishing, kayaking, scuba diving, jungle & Riverboat tours, canopy tours, hiking, volcanos, ziplining, hot springs, mud baths, and much more is here for you!

Beach
Staying at Villa Buena Onda you will be close to golden sand beaches that we highly recommend Coco Beach (7 minutes), Playa Hermosa (13 minutes), Ocotal Beach (15 minutes), Playa Panama (20 minutes), Calzon de Pobre (hidden beach 20 minutes away), Tamarindo (1 hour).

Nature
For nature lovers, we recommend visiting Palo Verde National Park to see giant crocs and wetland birds: ibis, spoonbills, storks (1,5 hours);
Rincon de La Vieja National Park with its hot springs, mud baths, and a taste of cowboy culture. (2 hours)
La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano) - perhaps the most iconic site in Costa, known around the world for its natural wonders that combine adventure with nature. (3 hours);
Llanos de Cortes Waterfalls - off beaten path site with large waterfalls in a secluded spot. (1 hour)

Golf
The nearest golf courses are located in Four Seasons and Westin Resort, about 45 minutes to an hour away.

Nightlife
While Costa Rica is famed for adventure tours, it is also well known for its nightlife. Evening options include casinos, clubs, bars, and a range of international restaurants.

Nearest restaurants
For those wishing to dine out during their stay, there is a selection of restaurants located close by.
The Lookout (5 minutes), Villa Italia (6 minutes), Chorotacos (8 minutes),
La Dolce Vita (8 minutes), Aquasport (12 min)
