Villa Mariposa: New Balinese-Inspired Luxury Villa Steps from Playa Brasilito

BALINESE-INSPIRED LUXURY, STEPS FROM PLAYA BRASILITO

Villa Mariposa is a rare sanctuary of design, serenity, and location on Costa Rica's Gold Coast — a newly completed (2026) Balinese-inspired villa in Catalina Cove, Cabo Velas, Guanacaste, walking distance to the beach at Playa Brasilito. For buyers searching for a luxury home for sale near Playa Conchal, Flamingo, and Tamarindo, few properties combine new construction, true indoor-outdoor architecture, solid concrete construction, and this address at this price point.

THE RESIDENCE

With 341 m2 (3,670 sq ft) of solid concrete construction, the villa balances generous indoor comfort with the outdoor living Guanacaste is famous for. The great room sits beneath a cathedral teak ceiling with clerestory light, anchored by a chef's kitchen with natural stone counters, a stone-topped island with induction cooktop, integrated panel appliances, and a picture window to the pool. Full-height sliding glass doors dissolve the line between the living spaces and the terraces on both sides of the home.

FOUR PRIVATE EN-SUITE RETREATS

Each of the four bedrooms is its own sanctuary: custom walk-in wardrobes, carved-stone vessel vanities with matte black fixtures, and private garden baths in the Balinese tradition — including open-air showers surrounded by tropical planting. Suites open directly to the pool terrace, gardens, and water.

BUILT AROUND WATER, WOOD & SKY

A designer pool anchors the compound, framed by sun terraces and connected by covered walkways. A poolside rancho with vaulted hardwood ceiling serves as an outdoor living room; a covered BBQ pavilion with built-in grill and refrigeration handles entertaining; a grand covered terrace hosts the outdoor kitchen; and a private yoga deck sits beneath mature trees.

ROOM TO GROW

The private, tree-canopied 5,090 m2 (1.26-acre) lot leaves space for expansion — including a second home, with architectural plans already drawn. For investors, that means built-in upside: rent or enjoy the main villa today, add a second residence tomorrow.

THE GOLD COAST AT YOUR DOOR

Catalina Cove places you minutes from everything that makes this stretch of Guanacaste one of Costa Rica's most sought-after real estate markets: Playa Brasilito (3 min), Reserva Conchal and the white sands of Playa Conchal (6 min), Playa Flamingo and its world-class marina (7 min), Playa Grande (20 min), Las Catalinas (25 min), and Tamarindo (30 min). Families are close to La Paz Community School (5 min) and Costa Rica International Academy / CRIA (8 min). Liberia International Airport (LIR), with direct flights to the U.S. and Canada, is approximately 75 minutes away.

AN INVESTMENT IN COSTA RICA'S FASTEST-GROWING COAST

New construction, four en-suites, walk-to-beach location, solid concrete construction, and expansion potential make Villa Mariposa equally compelling as a full-time residence, a luxury vacation home, or a high-performing rental property in the Brasilito–Conchal–Flamingo corridor. Held in a Costa Rican corporation with titled, fee-simple ownership.
