Villa Bougainvillea, Flamingo
4-Bedroom Ocean-View Marvel

From the impressive stone courtyard in front to the whale-size infinity pool in back, the 4-bedroom, 5-bath Villa Bougainvillea in Flamingo is consistently fabulous.

An arched double front door, a medieval arched ceiling and big African artwork are among the exotic touches that make this luxury home unique.

The four bedrooms all have king beds, air conditioning and ceiling fans, and some have cane ceilings. One bedroom has a sink, mini-fridge and microwave, and upstairs there’s a fun and funky purple and green room. Bathrooms come with nice touches like rock showers and stone wainscoting.

The living room has a huge TV and stereo, and there’s big art everywhere — African paintings, Costa Rican masks, tropical prints and modern paintings.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and an island that seats four, and there’s a beautiful dining room table for 10 made from a single piece of wood.

The terrace in back, with one of the biggest pools you’ll find in any private home in the area, has a couch, chairs, coffee table, barbecue and a priceless view of Brasilito Bay.

Why You’ll Love Flamingo

Flamingo is one of the greatest beach towns in Costa Rica, and it’s currently building a world-class marina that is expected to transform the regional economy.

Flamingo has two striking peninsulas jutting into the ocean, as well as two golden beaches, Flamingo and Potrero. The clean, compact downtown features restaurants, shops, tour agencies and other attractions.

Not far away, there are multiple secluded beaches, as well as all the conveniences of home: grocery stores, banks, medical clinics and gas stations.

Flamingo is less than an hour’s drive from the international airport in Liberia. And it offers every Costa Rican adventure you can imagine, by land or by sea.
