Infinity pool with loungers and bay view at Vista Bahia

The pool

The pool has its own house.

The infinity pool sits in a pool house perched above the main house - the highest point on the property. From the water you look out over the roofline to Playas del Coco; the sound of the town stays at sea level.

The two seasons

Dry and lush green.

Guanacaste runs two seasons. The ocean barely changes between them. The landscape and the rate card do. Peak rates apply to holiday and long-weekend dates inside the dry season.

Vista Bahia above the bay at Playas del Coco

Above Playas del Coco

The first light reaches the bay before the streets.

Vista Bahia sits on a hillside above the town. From the terrace, you see it happen: the water shifts colour twice in the time it takes to finish a coffee, and the rest of the day starts somewhere down at sea level without you.

The drive from Liberia airport is thirty minutes. The property has been operating since 2022 with the same team on site. Four ocean-facing bedrooms, eight guests at capacity, and the standards are the same on the first morning as on the last.

Co-own Vista Bahia.

Some guests return often enough that ownership becomes the more efficient model. Vista Bahia is structured as a Canadian Limited Partnership with deeded LP equity. Co-ownership positions are available at $250,000 CAD per share. Each share comes with an annual owner-time points allocation, redeemable for stays here or at any Luxara property, plus quarterly pro-rata distributions from the rental program.
