Straight From Our Guests | Don't just take our word for it:

"Words cannot adequately express how incredibly awesome this experience is! From the friendly pick up at the airport to the last bite of the delicious meal served, everything was PERFECT! Villa Nambi is exquisite! The beautiful rooms, the beds, the atmosphere, the pool, hot tub, breathtaking views! The staff is excellent and the service is outstanding. Mario, Jeffery, Jackson, Maynor, Layla went above and beyond! They carted us everywhere and we were treated like royalty! Every meal was divine and the housekeeper was fantastic. Erik and Nils provided a first class experience on the wonderful boats. Our group had so much fun. Thank you for a trip to be remembered for a lifetime! We loved every minute!"

Redefining Opulence
We've built our villas around a simple idea: true luxury means never lifting a finger. We're proud to be the only villas offering a fully dedicated staff for your comfort, and we go a step further by including not one but two boats with every stay.

That commitment runs deep. Our founder, Mat, personally drove a million-dollar 40' Barker HPC all the way from the Florida Keys to the Papagayo marina — a vessel now ready to carry you into the Pacific for an unforgettable day of fishing. Rounding out the fleet is our Super Air Nautique Coastal Edition, built for everything from wake surfing and tubing to private beach picnics and a run out to Witches Rock for a day riding Costa Rica's most famous wave.

The experience goes well beyond the water. A full-time chef and butler handle every breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and drink exactly to your taste, while daily housekeeping and laundry mean you never have to think twice. It starts before you even arrive, with a pre-arrival concierge who curates your itinerary, and continues on-site with a dedicated host who's part concierge, part hype man, making sure every moment lands.

A stay at Four Seasons Peninsula Papagayo isn't just a vacation, it's an immersion into a world without limits on luxury. Book your reservation and let us handle the details, down to the last one.

*Included with a 7+ night stay. A 5–6 night stay includes a half day on the Coastal Air Nautique and a half day on the Barker Motor Catamaran (half day on the Barker covers inshore fishing; offshore upgrades available for a fee).


More on Peninsula Papagayo and the Villa
Set atop Costa Rica's celebrated Gold Coast, Villa Nåmbi sits within Peninsula Papagayo, the country's premier luxury development and home to the Four Seasons Hotel and the Arnold Palmer–designed Ocean Course, one of Costa Rica's top golf courses. The peninsula's setting delivers some of the most striking views in Central America, alongside world-class amenities like tennis, single-track mountain biking, a full marina, and a standout beach club. Villa Nåmbi is one of only a handful of six-bedroom homes on the peninsula.

Every room opens to a private jungle view and includes a large flat-screen TV and en-suite bath. The living room rises 27 feet beneath ceilings framed in local stone, and a two-story deck wraps around an infinity pool where the resident monkeys rarely go unnoticed. Liberia International Airport is just 40 minutes away, with direct flights from Boston, Denver, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Toronto, London, Dallas, Austin, Minneapolis, Chicago, Calgary, Montreal, and more putting world-class golf, fishing, and surfing within a few hours of most major U.S. cities.

It's this rare mix of accessibility, luxury, natural beauty, and world-class amenities that makes Papagayo and Villa Nåmbi a true Viridian Experience. Guests are picked up directly from Liberia, and the villa is staffed throughout the stay with a chef, butler, housekeeping, boat captain, host, and more, plus two golf carts to explore the peninsula.

Payment: 50% due at booking, 50% due 30 days before check-in.

Spring break 2023

The property is beautiful and the VRBO description is accurate. The access to boats was great and fishing was amazing. But the best part of Villa Nambi was the staff. Excellent service and fabulous meals, snacks, and drinks. This is a great place to stay.

A Great Trip

Our stay was exceptional. Fantastic location right near the Four Seasons and including close encounters with the white-faced monkeys on our porch. The staff was excellent and accommodating and the food was exceptional. We had a 4 and 7 year old that loved the experience and my son proposed (successfully) to his girlfriend. Overall an incredible experience.

Paradise Vacation!

We had an amazing time at Villa Nambi. Matt and Emily think of everything. The staff was phenomenal and took great care of us and also were a helpful set of eyes watching the kids in the pool. We also used the provided villa boats three times and caught a massive amount of fish and had a day of snorkeling and water sports. I’ve stayed at the Four Seasons Papagayo which was very good, but Viridian far surpasses it.We are already planning our return trip.!

Trip of a lifetime

Our trip with Viridian was nothing short of amazing. From staff to owners everyone was wonderful to work with. Jeffrey, Victor and Carlos took incredible care of me and my family, including my elderly and disabled father on our trip. They went above and beyond for us. The food was incredible, house impeccable. Our family will talk about this trip for years to come.

Best Family Vacation!!

We had the best family vacation at Villa Nambi! The house is beautiful and the service amazing!! We were never in need of anything. Jeffrey, Emir and Jackson took care of us so well. They really made the vacation extra special & felt like they were family by the end. Jeffrey helped with every detail. Emir always knew what we wanted to drink morning and night. Met us at the front door after being on the boat with fresh coconuts and juice. Jackson made five star meals. We all felt so spoiled. It was wonderful! Also celebrated my grandson's 4th birthday there, they decorated, blew up balloons and got his favorite cake. Both boat days were amazing. The Four Season's was close and we loved Prieta Beach Club. The ease of getting around with the golf carts was nice. We can't wait to go back!

Fantastic! I cannot say enough about how wonderful this house and team is. The owners are hands-on and reached out multiple times to make sure everything went smoothly. The concierge Mario is FANTASTIC! He handled all of the activities, meals, travel - everything! This is a 5-star experience and location.

Can't say enough about the experience & customer service we received with the entire Viridian team throughout our 4th of July stay! From the start, our initial contact with Mario a month out was on point in planning every detail from meals to activities to make sure everything was planned before we arrived so we could relax & have fun. Once we arrived at Villa Nambi, which was even better than what the pictures can show, we were greeted by the most amazing staff which we were lucky enough to get to spend the next 6 days with. Victor, Chef Carlos, Roynor a.k.a. Flaco & Kathia were over the top with regards to their customer service skills & the way they genuinely took care of us while we were there. We are a tight family of 9, & they fit right in & honestly made the trip next level. Victor always on point keeping us on track for the day's activities, Carlos cooking the most amazing creative meals, Roynor crafting us unique cocktails & fresh smoothies for the kids each day & Kathia preparing the house each morning as if it was the first day we arrived (and did tons of laundry for us to boot!). Finally, Erick & Ricardo were awesome to have on the water with us for 2 days of beach hopping, tubing, fishing & they were as professional as they were fun. Emily has assembled a great team, and we are very appreciative to be able to spend a week at Villa Nambi and would highly recommend the entire Viridian experience to all who are thinking about a Costa Rica vacation. PURA VIDA!!! :)

Amazing Customer Service - Better than Advertised

We were skeptical to book here because there was only 1 or 0 reviews on VRBO at the time we booked. The home was as advertised, the boats were as advertised. They customer service exceeded my expectations. Amazing food always made available from our chef Michael. Amazing drinks always available thanks to our porter/bar tender George. And help with anything else you might need from the concierge Alexander. 2 of the 5 daily staff were in the home and available 24/7. They even helped decorate for our son's birthday offered him a gift and probably spent 2 hrs blowing up balloons for his party! The peninsula was great. Its very secluded and very clean with almost no traffic. You have 2 vehicles to explore the entire place with. If this listing caught your eye, you should book without hesitation!

About the host

Hosted by Mat Wood

Host profile image
My name is Mat Wood, I own and manage a Luxury Vacation Rental Company called Viridian Experience. After living in Central America for over a decade and building some of the finest vacation homes in the region, I began having trouble with friends and family. To put it simply they would come to visit and wouldn't leave! I became a year around host and between the high school friends, college friends, family, colleagues and in-laws.. we began to feel like we had no time for ourselves. We had one friend come down 4 times in 9 months!! I started wondering what if we opened up our homes and staff to the public and offered the same experience to groups and families from around the world. So in 2016 we did just that Since then, we have hosted celebrities, professional athletes and adventurers from far and wide. There is a certain energy that people have on vacation that attracted me to this industry many years ago and being able to shape that into moments and memories is exactly why I'll never leave.
