10 Must-Have Amenities at Luxury Vacation Homes in Costa Rica

10 Must-Have Amenities at Luxury Vacation Homes in Costa Rica

When you’re choosing where to stay in Costa Rica, the difference between a good vacation and a truly unforgettable one often comes down to the details. At The Point Luxury Villa in Tamarindo, we’ve poured years of care into making sure those details deliver. From the comfort of the beds to the way the light filters through the palms in the morning, everything is designed to make you feel at home, only better.

Here are ten essential amenities that set luxury vacation homes Costa Rica apart—and how The Point nails it, every time.

1. A PRIVATE POOL THAT FEELS LIKE YOUR OWN RESORT

A proper luxury villa should have a pool that you can roll out of bed and dive into. Figuratively speaking! At The Point, your saltwater infinity pool overlooks the ocean, and is surrounded by swaying trees and the sound of exotic birds. There are sun loungers for long reads, a shallow end perfect for kids or a cooling sit-down soak, and lights for nighttime swims under the stars. No need to share it with anyone outside your group.

This is your place to relax, float, and recharge. The perfect place to start a luxury vacation.

2. OCEAN VIEWS FROM EVERY CORNER

What’s the point of booking luxury vacation rentals Costa Rica if you’re not staring at the Pacific from your breakfast table? At The Point, we HEAR YOU, and that’s why ocean views are built into the design. Whether you’re sipping your morning java in the open-air kitchen, doing yoga on the terrace, or waking up in your suite, the glistening ocean is always in sight.

The villa’s sweeping views create a blissful sense of calm and space that’s hard to describe until you’ve felt it.

3. FULL-SERVICE KITCHEN WITH A PRIVATE CHEF OPTION

Sometimes you want to cook up something simple with fresh local fruit and eggs. Other times, you want to sit back while someone else creates a beautiful dinner using supper fresh, Costa Rican ingredients. At The Point, the kitchen is fully equipped and thoughtfully laid out for both self-catering and chef-prepared meals. If you opt for our Private Chef Service, you’ll enjoy restaurant-quality meals  (but better) with none of the shopping, chopping, or cleaning. Just good food, good wine, and great company.

4. ONSITE CONCIERGE WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU’LL LOVE

One of the things that separates luxury vacation homes in Costa Rica from regular rentals is personal support. Our in-house Concierge doesn’t just hand over the keys. She’ll help you plan outings, arrange airport transfers, suggest the best local guides, and book things before they sell out. Whether it’s surf lessons for the kids, a beach picnic for two, or last-minute babysitting, it gets sorted swiftly and easily, without any fuss.

5. DIRECT & PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS 

Private beach access should feel private. At The Point Luxury Villa, at the tip where two glorious beaches converge, you can walk from your villa door to the sand in under a minute. There’s no one herding you into roped-off areas or bustling to claim a lounger. Just a short stroll through the garden and you’re there. Early morning walks, sunset swims, private sunrise surf lessons, or watching the pelicans skim the waves—it all happens right outside your door.

6. SPACIOUS LIVING FOR BIG GROUPS OR MULTI-GEN FAMILIES

Traveling with grandparents, cousins, or a group of friends? You want enough space so everyone can be together, but not on top of each other. The Point sleeps up to 17 guests across multiple suites and both indoor and outdoor lounging areas. This abundance of comfy space means movie nights and big share meals together, as well as quiet reading corners when you need alone time. Everyone has room to be themselves, without feeling like they’re sacrificing comfort or privacy.

7. CUSTOM WELLNESS OPTIONS LIKE PRIVATE YOGA AND SPA SERVICES

It’s hard to fully unwind when you’re racing around, doing stuff and ticking boxes. That’s why, at The Point Luxury Villa, we curate wellness offerings that come to you. Enjoy a private yoga session on the deck, a massage on the gazebo, or guided breathwork sessions. All without leaving the villa. Our treatments and sessions are led by skilled local practitioners we know and fully trust, and customized to how you want to feel.

8. SPECIAL SPACES DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION

The Oceanfront gazebo is actually one of our newest features, and it has quickly become a favorite. This is where guests gather to reconnect, enjoy impromptu happy hours, or simply to soak in the view. To be honest, we think it’s because our gazebo feels a bit like a treehouse for grownups; raised, breezy and just far enough from the main villa to feel like a retreat within a retreat.

9. ONSITE ENTERTAINMENT

Another fun addition we’re proud of is our brand-new three-part golf setup. It’s a relaxed and playful way to “stay home”, and fits right into the easy pace of life at The Point. While you can totally have a serious game here, you can also just hit a few friendly balls while dinner’s on the grill. Families especially love it as a way to keep the kids entertained before sunset. And if you’re in the mood to stay in, there’s more to enjoy, with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property, a sound system ready for your favorite playlists, and a good stack of board games for lazy mornings or rainy afternoons.

10. PERSONAL TOUCHES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL CARED FOR

Luxury isn’t just about what you see and experience but also about how you’re made to feel. At The Point, we take great pride in making you feel seen and heard, so it might mean arriving to find your favorite drinks already chilled in the fridge, or stepping onto the beach to discover the chairs set out just where you’d want them. Maybe it’s the way the coffee is ready before you even think to ask and remembering how you like your cocktail served. These little things aren’t extras to us but an integral part of how we care for our guests. And after hosting families, friends, and couples for years, we know it’s often these small, thoughtful gestures that leave the biggest impression.

Not all luxury vacation rentals in Costa Rica are created equal. What makes The Point different is the way it makes people feel. You get the views, the amenities, the space—but you also get something harder to define. A sense of being looked after, without being hovered over. The freedom to create your own rhythm, while knowing support is always there when you need it.
