About this property
Southern Cross, Ocean View Luxury - Steps to Beach Ocean View
Dreamy Oceanview Villa Nestled in the Hills Above Playa Hermosa
Welcome to a modern, internationally inspired “open-air” villa that offers a truly magical setting with breathtaking 180-degree ocean views. Just a short walk from the untouched, pristine sands of Playa Hermosa—widely regarded as the most beautiful beach in the area—this hillside retreat is the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and luxury.
Wake up to the sight of rolling waves from two of the bedrooms—you can literally check the surf without leaving your bed.
The Space
Perched high on the lush tropical hillside like a serene nest, this rare gem of a home invites you into an atmosphere of peace and connection. From the moment you step through the massive teak doors, the sweeping views draw your gaze through the open-concept living area, across the glimmering pool, and out to the vast Pacific Ocean.
The home’s design blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors with floor-to-ceiling glass across the entire front of the villa. Nature surrounds you—birds, jungle foliage, and endless sky—offering complete privacy and an immersive experience in paradise.
Each of the three spacious, light-filled bedrooms features an en-suite bathroom, a private ocean-facing deck, and direct access to the sights and sounds of nature.
Amenities include:
A shaded pergola for relaxing out of the sun
Three decks with stunning views
Private pool with an outdoor shower
Comfortable indoor and outdoor lounge areas
STARLINK Internet
Entire house filtration system for clean drinking water
This is one of the rare few villas that truly has it all: incredible views, lush surroundings, beach proximity, and the open, relaxed feel of a high-end retreat. Whether you’re here to surf, relax, recharge, or all of the above—Southern Cross offers a luxurious and unforgettable escape.
