Stunning Ocean Front Villa/Pool · Private Chef · Breakfast & Concierge Included
Live your dream vacation waking up to the sound of the Pacific waves. Designed by award-winning architects, Perla Negra is a masterpiece of coastal living — with direct ocean views from every single room, including the showers, and a breathtaking 4-sided infinity pool. Our concierge Pierre handles all your activities and travels, while Chef Erik crafts unforgettable meals for your friends and family. A gourmet breakfast and daily housekeeping are included every day. Secret beaches are just one minute away, and stunning Playa Carrillo is a 5-minute drive. Ultra-fast fiber optic wifi throughout. As you arrive, a bridge guides you through a canopy of magnificent Yayo trees — the very inspiration behind the villa’s award-winning design. The architect’s vision was to seamlessly integrate Perla Negra into this natural forest setting, creating a living experience where architecture and nature become one. The L-shaped design creates two distinct outdoor living areas on the main floor, each offering its own unique ocean perspective — so every guest finds their perfect spot. Your outdoor living space: The centerpiece is the spectacular 4-sided infinity pool, complete with a built-in seating area and wide sun-bathing edges. Enjoy a game of billiards or catch your favorite game on the outdoor TV. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen features a full-size fridge, BBQ and dishwasher — perfect for poolside dining at the large table, or lazy afternoons on the sun-beds. Your indoor living space: Expansive patio doors open fully to the ocean breeze, or screen in for those quieter evenings. The high-end kitchen — complete with a Jura coffee machine — is as suited to your own culinary adventures as it is to watching Chef Erik work his magic. Here, the Yayo trees press close to the glass, giving this space an entirely different, more intimate feel. At the far end of the property, a stunning natural point overlooks the entire coastline — the perfect place to end your days with cocktails and spectacular Pacific sunsets. The upper floor: Six spacious bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, king-size beds, built-in closets and dedicated desk areas. One room features a king-size bunk bed — ideal for a couple on the lower bunk or as the perfect kids and teens retreat. The two end rooms serve as master suites with wraparound corner patio doors. Every room is finished with luxury linens, bath towels, hair dryers and Bluetooth charging speakers. Organic Costa Rican soaps, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion are provided throughout. Your neighborhood: Playa Carrillo — one of Costa Rica’s most pristine and untouched beaches — is just a 5-minute drive and the perfect morning walk ritual. A hidden secret beach is only one minute from your front door. The village of Puerto Carrillo offers a convenient local store and great takeout options for easy lunches. Just 12 minutes up the coast, the vibrant town of Samara has everything you need — beachside restaurants, a wonderful organic Saturday market, boutique shopping, grocery stores, pharmacies and banks. Your team: Alexandra, our gracious live-in caretaker, prepares a delicious breakfast each morning and keeps the villa immaculately clean around your schedule — always with fresh towels at the ready. She lives in her own completely separate apartment, with a private entrance, ensuring your privacy is fully preserved at all times. Anggie, our co-host, is with you from booking to departure — coordinating Chef Erik’s meals, arranging in-home massages and yoga classes, and connecting you with Pierre before you even land. Pierre, our dedicated concierge, handles everything from car and shuttle rentals to every outdoor excursion Costa Rica has to offer. Whether this is your first time in Costa Rica or you’re one of those who, like us, have fallen completely in love with its nature, people and magic — you are in wonderful hands. Your Safety & Peace of Mind Perla Negra is nestled on a quiet, private dead-end street. The villa is equipped with a full security system, and a discreet overnight presence watches over the neighborhood — so you can fully unwind and enjoy every moment in complete serenity.

Dear Spencer,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy you loved the villa and our amazing team. We hope to welcome you back soon for another incredible stay!
The most amazing property where you will feel right home and enjoy the home and indoor outdoor living space. We were a party of 12 with kids and adults and everyone enjoyed. Pictures do not do the beauty of the place justice. We enjoyed many beautiful sunsets.

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that everything met your expectations and contributed to making your vacation memorable. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again soon for another fantastic stay!
We stayed for 1 week with 9 of us sharing 6 bedrooms. The villa was clean and tidy and everything functioned well. Perched on the top of a cliff, the villa had great vies, though you could not swim in the sea below, due to the cliffs. Alexandra, our host for the week, prepared an excellent breakfast each day and then left us to our own devices. The rooms were cleaned as required and we used the in house chef one evening. His food was very good and reasonably priced. The local area has excellent beaches, with few people on them. Overall, I would highly recommend this villa for groups of up to 12-14 people, assuming mostly couples.

Dear Patrick,
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that the villa met your expectations and that you enjoyed your time with us. It’s great to know you appreciated the local beaches and the meals prepared by our chef. We’re glad everything worked well for your group, and we hope to host you again in the future!
It was a very nice place. The women in our group had concerns about bugs, but considering the location, the layout of the place (mostly open air), and it being an eco-friendly environment, that was expected. It’s in a secluded location. You will need to rent a vehicle for transportation around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cook did a fantastic job with the food. The only negative comment is the concierge. It’s not really a concierge, it’s more like a tour company that is associated with the villa.Everyone has a good time overall.

Dear Justino,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the villa and that the staff and food made your stay pleasant.
Regarding our concierge, we chose Pierre Agency because they are the top-rated service in the area, known for their reliability and expertise in coordinating activities and tours both locally and in the surrounding areas.
They also go the extra mile by offering (just for our guests) additional services such as grocery shopping, massage at home, yoga classes and bartender services, always striving to accommodate every guest request. We believe it’s a valuable addition to enhance our guests’ experience.
We truly value your comments and appreciate you staying with us. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
Our family of 12 had the most incredible stay at this stunning six bedroomseven-bath villa in Costa Rica. From the moment we arrived we were in awe of the beauty of the grounds and the way the architecture seamlessly blended with the surrounding environment. The accommodations were outstanding—spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to enhance the natural beauty around us. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional staff who went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Each morning we were treated to delicious, freshly prepared meals, and the villa was cleaned top to bottom daily, ensuring a truly luxurious and stress-free stayBeyond the villa itself, the setting was nothing short of magical. We had the unforgettable experience of spotting whales in the sea, and watching monkeys play in the trees during breakfast—a special treat that made our time there even more memorable.If you’re looking for a perfect balance of luxury nature, and impeccable service, this villa is an absolute gem. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to return.

Dear Doug,
Thank you for your incredible review! We’re absolutely delighted that your family had such a memorable stay and that you enjoyed everything from the stunning surroundings to the thoughtful design of the villa. It’s wonderful to hear that our staff helped make your experience truly special and that you got to witness the magic of Costa Rica’s wildlife right from the villa. We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay!
This villa saved our trip. We went to CR during tropical storm Sara and it rained all day every day and unable to do any excursions due to the rain so spent most of our time at the villa. We were 9 adults, 2 four year olds, and an infant and our trip would've been absolutely miserable if the villa hadn't been so amazing. The views are incredible and the house has top notch appliances including a Jura espresso maker which makes it so convenient b/c there are no nearby coffeeshops.
Pros:
-amazing pool. B/c it's above ground, safer for kids to not fall in
-Alexandria and her staff were amazing. Kept the place so clean and everyone was so nice. They went above and beyond for us. Set up a pack and play for us and made pina colada one day b/c they felt bad we were without wifi due to an outage b/c of the storm. Love the daily housekeeping. The breakfast was also top notch.
-the views are stunning
-we had Chef Erik prepared dinner every night b/c we couldn't go out b/c of the rain which was convenient.
-the kitchen has really high end appliances and has everything you need if you want to cook for a large group
-property provides plenty of beach towels and chairs
Cons:
-mattresses were lumpy and sagging. Thought it was just my mattress but other family members mentioned it as well.
-Chef Erik's meals are great but the menu is small and he's not able to change it up so after 2 days, food gets redundant and we got tired of eating the same thing almost every night.

Dear Thao,
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re so glad the villa could be a bright spot during the storm and that you and your family were able to enjoy the space, the views, and the service from Alexandria and Erick. It’s wonderful to hear that the pool, kitchen, and daily housekeeping made your stay more comfortable.
We truly appreciate your feedback on the mattresses and the chef’s menu, we’ll take it into account to improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you back under sunnier skies next time!
About the host
Hosted by Anggie
We divide our year between our country home in Canada in the summers and our beloved Costa Rica in the winters — with Montreal always calling us back for its incredible restaurant scene, live shows and vibrant energy. Cooking, exploring local markets and golf are among our greatest passions, and you’ll find traces of all of these loves woven into the way we’ve designed and curated every detail of Perla Negra. Three very different places, each deeply part of who we are — and that joie de vivre is what we bring to every guest’s experience.
Why they chose this property
Playa El Roble, nestled just south of Playa Carrillo, is one of Costa Rica’s most unique coastal settings. Our road hugs the coastline at just the right elevation — high enough to command sweeping Pacific views, yet close enough to feel the power of the ocean in every moment. It’s the sensation of being on a ship, with all the comforts of home. Our small, tight-knit community is quiet and peaceful — the kind of place where you truly unwind and recharge. Just down the road lies Playa Carrillo, a naturally untouched gem that remains one of the most pristine beaches on the Pacific coast. Everything else you need is just a few kilometers away in the charming town of Samara — restaurants, markets, boutiques and all daily essentials.
What makes this property unique
Perla Negra is where award-winning architecture meets untouched nature. The villa melts seamlessly into the surrounding forest, framed by Yayo trees and the endless Pacific — creating a rare sensation of being fully immersed in nature while enjoying every luxury of home. Perched at the end of a private road overlooking the ocean, this corner of Costa Rica is a true hidden gem. Howler monkeys take their afternoon naps in the trees surrounding the villa, while a symphony of tropical birds fills the air throughout the day — a gentle reminder that you are a guest in one of the most biodiverse places on earth. The expansive open-concept design makes Perla Negra the perfect setting for a group of friends or a large family retreat — with enough space for everyone to gather, and enough quiet corners for everyone to find their own moment of serenity.
