The latest addition to the award-winning Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo, the Prieta Bay residences are an exclusive residential enclave overlooking a dramatic and picturesque coastline. As part of the Four Seasons Private Retreats collection, the Residences at Prieta Bay is a limited collection of exquisite estate homes and private villas replete with every creature comfort imaginable, offering coveted insider access to one of the most captivating eco-adventure playgrounds in the Pacific Americas. As part of Peninsula Papagayo's more than USD 125 million community-wide transformation, Prieta Bay is home to custom eco-luxury three-four- and five-bedroom villas and estate homes that sit on 7 hectares (17 acres) of prime oceanfront in a private and gated enclave adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo.

Designed by Costa Rica's native son and world-renowned architect Ronald Zurcher, the villas and estate homes feature gallery-like spaces with floor to ceiling glass windows that open to the outdoors creating an expansive poolside terrace. The residences feature mesmerising views of the Pacific Ocean, magical sunsets, and an unparalleled closeness to nature.

Costa Rica's natural beauty is present in every aspect of the interiors, highlighted by a contemporary-organic aesthetic that appears to grow out of the landscape, inviting the outdoors in. Innovative design takes inspiration from repeating patterns in flora and fauna. High-energy efficiency and high-quality indoor environments are integral to Zurcher's organic architecture. A performance-based design approach considers the entire lifecycle of each building - saving energy, water and resources. Green roofs and local materials are infused into the architecture with a Costa Rica sensibility.

The introduction of the Residences at Prieta Bay comes on the heels of a USD 45 million Resort-wide renovation completed in December 2018. The true "home away from home" experience of Prieta Bay is curated by a private Concierge and replete with the notable services and amenities of the Resort. Ideal for multi-generational families and celebratory travel, the villas offer exceptional indoor-outdoor living, space and privacy. Unique eco-adventures offered by the Explorers Club on Peninsula Papagayo; a dreamlike 570 hectare (1,400 acre) canvas of towering bluff tops, tropical forests and miles of uncrowded beaches tumbling out to the sea - all teeming with rare and magical wildlife, offer unparalleled closeness to nature in one of the most peaceful and biodiverse nations in the world. Part sophisticated resort, part primitive playground, this private paradise possesses one of the most extraordinary landscapes and biological corridors on the planet.
