Built with materials from Indonesia and boasting views of the ocean in two directions, Casa Alang Alang is the perfect marriage of relaxed Balinese style and unforgettable Costa Rican scenery. Built atop a hill near the Tamarindo estuary, the property has views along Playa Grande—including vistas of the sunset over the Pacific—and a location a short walk from the beach and town. Seven suite-style bedrooms, including one in a guest house, make the expansive villa feel like your own private beach resort.

At Casa Alang Alang, wake up each day and enjoy a breakfast that’s already been prepared before stepping outside and deciding which of the two pools will be your first swim of the day. (You also have the choice of a soak in the hot tub.) Sunbathe in the lounge chairs on the deck, nap in the hammock, exercise in the fitness room or book a treatment on the massage table, and send the kids to play on the trampoline or skate on the half-pipe. Rinse off in the outdoor shower before preparing dinner on the barbecue and sitting down to eat at the al-fresco dining area. Though it feels secluded, the villa is fully connected with Apple TV and Wi-Fi.

The villa was designed by California architect Steve Adams to take advantage of the gorgeous views, with living spaces that can be completely opened to the outdoors. In the great room, a vaulted ceiling adds to the breezy feeling, as do woven sofas and chairs with sophisticated charcoal cushions. Just next to the sitting area, the generous ironwood dining table seats everyone in wicker chairs. The fully equipped kitchen is open to the rest of the space, but a separate walk-in pantry allows for storage and prep work.

There are six bedrooms in the main house at Casa Alang Alang and one in the guest house; each has an en-suite bathroom. The main-house master suite has a king bed, walk-in closet, dressing area and its own balcony. There are four other bedrooms with king beds, all of which either open to a terrace or have ocean views. The sixth main-house bedroom has two twin beds, a dressing area and a private balcony. An extra room with five twin beds, an en-suite bathroom, ocean views and even a ping-pong table provides additional accommodations. The guest house has a bedroom with a king bed as well as a lounge area, kitchenette, dining table and private balcony.

If the beach views aren’t enough and you need to put your toes in the sand, it’s a 5-minute walk from the villa to Pangas Beach Club and the town center. The airports closest to Casa Alang Alang are Daniel Oduber International, 43.5 miles away, and Juan Santamaria International, 153 miles away.
