An Elevated Oceanfront Residence Above the Gulf of Papagayo
Commanding an elevated position above the Pacific along Costa Rica’s coveted Gulf of Papagayo, Residence 5 (#1123) at Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica represents a rare early resale within this newly established, world-class resort destination—where architectural restraint, natural beauty, and the principles of Blue Zone living intersect with intention.
The residence is located within the newly completed six-story condominium building conceived by the acclaimed architectural firm Garnier & Garnier. Positioned on the second floor in a central, ocean-oriented location, the home enjoys both privacy and presence within a limited collection of just 19 private residences—ensuring a sense of scale, exclusivity, and discretion rarely achieved.
Offered brand new and never occupied, the two-bedroom, three-bath residence encompasses 1,610 square feet of refined interior living space, designed to blur the line between indoors and out. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors extend the living areas onto a 457-square-foot covered terrace with a private plunge pool—creating a seamless setting for quiet mornings, sunset gatherings, and uninterrupted views of the ocean and surrounding tropical landscape
Interiors are thoughtfully curated with contemporary furnishings in a restrained, earth-toned palette that complements the home’s natural setting and modern architectural language. The European chef’s kitchen by Italian brand Cucine Lube is anchored by a generous island and equipped with premium upgraded appliances, including a Wolf double oven and Sub-Zero refrigeration—equally suited to understated entertaining or everyday living.
Designed as a true oceanfront sanctuary, the residence enjoys expansive water views and immediate access to nature, just steps from Playa La Penca, one of Costa Rica’s most secluded and pristine beaches.
Ownership includes round-the-clock concierge service and full access to the complete Waldorf Astoria resort experience, including six distinctive culinary destinations, cascading pools, a world-class spa and wellness center, dedicated children’s and teen programs, and comprehensive beach services.
Residents also enjoy exclusive access to a private sixth-floor rooftop terrace reserved solely for owners, featuring an infinity-edge pool, outdoor grilling area, and sweeping panoramic ocean views—an exceptional amenity that reinforces the residence’s rarity and long-term value.
For owners who value flexibility, the residence may be enrolled in the professionally managed Waldorf Astoria rental program, offering a seamless ownership experience with the potential for passive income generation, should one choose.
