Why Guests Love It
Guests consistently highlight the “edge-of-the-world” sensation of the infinity pool, the seamless blend of modern design with nature, and the high level of comfort and service from the Zindis team. Lighthouse isn’t just a vacation rental — it’s a hilltop sanctuary with views that captivate and spaces that inspire.

Located Southeast of the tranquil bay community of Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste, Monte Paraíso is a serene hilltop enclave offering sweeping views Playa Hermosa, the Papagayo Gulf and surrounding tropical forest. Though peacefully removed, you are only minutes from Playa Hermosa’s calm Blue Flag waters, beachside dining and local nightlife. Guests can stroll to shoreline bars, enjoy evening meals with ocean breeze, or head further to Playas del Coco for larger amenities. The Liberia International Airport is approximately 30–35 minutes away, making arrival straightforward. This location strikes the sweet spot between secluded luxury and accessible beach-town fun.

Perched above the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Papagayo, Lighthouse is a modern masterpiece that captures the essence of coastal luxury in Guanacaste. This exceptional four-bedroom, four-bath recently renovated villa accommodates up to eight guests and is set within the exclusive gated community of Monte Paraíso just outside Playa Hermosa.

Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring glass walls that frame unobstructed ocean views, while the open-plan living space flows seamlessly onto two expansive terraces. Whether lounging indoors or outdoors, you’ll feel immersed in the landscape — the infinity-edge pool appears to merge with the horizon.

Each bedroom offers tranquil comfort and exceptional detail. The design aesthetic is clean and refined with natural finishes, ample light and direct access to the outdoors. Outside, enjoy a sun-drenched terrace, BBQ area, and lush greenery that enhance privacy without sacrificing views.

Though tucked away, Lighthouse offers convenience too: within minutes you’ll find dining, shopping and beach access at Playa Hermosa, and the international airport (LIR) is only about a 30-minute drive. Managed by Zindis Hospitality, your stay will have the refinement of a boutique resort with the comfort of a private home. Elevate your Costa Rican getaway at this sophisticated hilltop retreat.

Great location in a very nice neighborhood. Air conditioning was a little noisy and small issue with the pool. Owner from management company came himself to help with the pool. Overall great experience and nice house.

Hilltop Gem

The view from the house is stunning and open to all the living spaces. We spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the breeze. The infinity pool was refreshing after a day at the beach. None of the neighboring houses were near due to the slope of hill. The dramatic design of the house was more impressive than we expected. The house was a great place for the family to gather between trips to see the beautiful countryside and ocean. Our family of 8 agree the Lighthouse is one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at.

Great House With an Amazing View

The house we stayed at was great. The view from the back patio was amazing and the pool was perfect after a long day. The company did a great job in communicating with us. The house was clean when we arrive and Zindis was very responsive if we had an issues at the house. I would definitely recommend a 4WD as the house is on a very steep hill.

Fantastic Views

The views, pool/deck, and natural light in this house are fantastic. All the rooms are spacious and the layout is great, although not the best for small kids - tile, lots of steps & dropoffs. The house has some normal rental wear & tear, but all the major things worked as advertised. As others have said, the pictures definitely don't do the views justice.

Absolutely Spectacular

This house is amazing and the views are better than the pictures. The concierge sets up all your tours and all the transport. If you plan on drinking choose the transport instead of renting a car. The hill to the house is VERY steep so if can't walk well this house may not be for you. My group of 8 had an amazing time celebrating my wife's birthday. This place makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful Ocean View

We chose this house for its expansive ocean view and infinity pool and were delighted with the house. It was centrally located to the activities that we wanted to do while we were in Costa Rica. From exploring Ricon, surfing in Tamarindo and hiking Monta Verde. Edgar of the Zindis Group was very responsive to some minor issues that came up during our stay. He was up at the house 5 minutes after our call and fixed the cable/wifi himself.
