They highlight the effortless indoor-outdoor flow, how the pool frames the sunset and how even simple moments (coffee on the terrace, late-night stars) feel elevated. With Zindis Hospitality managing the stay, what feels like a luxury home becomes a seamless vacation experience. Villa Vista Luna is located in the highly desirable Alta Vista-Hillside Community above Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste. From this vantage point you’ll enjoy sweeping views across the bay, lush tropical green, and the Pacific’s shimmering surface. Though elevated for privacy and perspective, you’re still only minutes from Playa Hermosa’s calm Blue-Flag beach, oceanfront restaurants and leisurely beach-town rhythm. The main hub of Playas del Coco offers dining, shopping and tours nearby. Liberia International Airport (LIR) lies approximately 30 minutes drive away—making arrival and departure easy. Perched high above the serene coastline of Playa Hermosa, Villa Vista Luna offers a refined retreat with breathtaking panoramic views, modern design and private luxury. This three-bedroom, three and a half bathroom villa accommodates up to 6 guests, making it perfect for couples, families or friends seeking a stylish Costa Rica escape. The home features an open-plan living and dining area framed by expansive glass sliding doors that lead directly to the terrace and infinity-edge pool—even the pool seems to dissolve into the Pacific horizon. The outdoor space invites relaxation, whether lounging pool-side, dining al-fresco or simply watching the sunset in still serenity. Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with premium furnishings and seamless indoor-outdoor transition. The master suite provides king bedding and spa-style bathroom; additional guest rooms offer comfort, flexibility and views. Managed by Zindis Hospitality, your stay combines elevated design with professional support and local expertise. Bedrooms & Bathrooms Master Suite: King bed · ensuite bathroom · terrace access & ocean view Bedroom 2: Queen (or king-flex) bed · ensuite bathroom Bedroom 3: Queen (or twin-flex) bed · full bath nearby Total: 3 bedrooms · 3.5 bathrooms · accommodates up to 6 guests.

Jan 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was our first family trip to Costa Rica and we truly enjoyed. Weather spectacular each day and Villa Vista Luna just beautiful. It was a joy to be out all day enjoying activities and return home to this spectacular space. The shared living space is luxurious yet comfortable. The 3 bedrooms are super comfortable and each have their own bathrooms and closet space. Kitchen fully stocked with plenty of dishes - glasses - nice wine glasses too.The outdoor space built for comfort and fun with a fantastic infinity pool and plenty of couches and chairs to hang out and relax which we did every night. Great outdoor bathroom on pool deck as well. This home in Hermosa Heights is absolutely beautiful and we highly recommend. Plus Zindis Team is extremely professional and kind. Each and every person we spoke to or met before, during and after our stay has been wonderful - thanks Zindis Team!Plus we truly appreciated receiving the travel tips from Zindis with restaurant and activity recommendations which did not disappoint.We stayed with our 3 adult children age 21 and had a ball.Look forward to our next visit and will definitely book through VRBO/Zindis Group Thank You!The Elton FamilyLong Island ##### Linda E.
