Perched atop a secluded clifftop in Costa Rica’s prestigious Papagayo Peninsula, The Hive Private Residence — part of Sandglass Hotels & Villas Collection — has quickly become one of the region’s most coveted luxury residences. Recently featured by Travel + Leisure as a top estate on this elite coastline, The Hive blends cutting-edge design with untouched natural beauty, offering guests a serene yet ultra-luxurious residence.
A Masterpiece of Global Design
The Hive’s design draws inspiration from Central American, European, and Asian architecture. Step through the golden Moroccan-style door into an art-filled foyer, leading to the expansive great room and a stone terrace where views of the Pacific are perfectly framed. With its 17,500 square feet of meticulously curated interiors, this villa is as much a designer’s showcase as it is a sanctuary. Each of the six bedrooms is uniquely styled, featuring water views, antique furnishings, handwoven rugs, and custom wallpaper. The primary suite, with its vaulted ceiling and double gold bathtubs, offers a touch of regal Asian-inspired flair, while other rooms provide contemporary elegance, allowing guests to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of both warmth and exclusivity.
The Location: An Enclave of Privacy and Natural Wonder
Nestled on a quiet hilltop overlooking Bahia Huevos, The Hive enjoys a level of seclusion that few properties in Costa Rica can match. This spot, where jungle and sea converge, is just one part of the 1,400-acre Papagayo Peninsula, renowned for its privacy, sustainable luxury, and rich biodiversity. Here, you are as likely to spot a family of monkeys or a colorful iguana as you are another person, making The Hive a true escape from the routines of everyday life.
Exclusive Experiences: Living the Art of “Pura Vida”
The Hive’s full-time concierge is available to arrange activities that immerse explorers in Costa Rica’s culture and natural wonders. From beekeeping excursions with local artisans (a nod to The Hive’s name) to private marlin-fishing trips, toucans-spotting, or pottery sessions with Indigenous artists, each experience is thoughtfully curated to connect guests to the heart of Costa Rica.
Unparalleled Perks: The Peninsula’s Most Photogenic Sunset Spot
The infinity pool, carved from aquamarine stone, mirrors the shades of the Pacific and has quickly become one of the peninsula’s most sought-after locations for a sunset cocktail. Surrounded by sweeping ocean views and towering palm trees, this is a scene made for the travel elite, capturing the essence of Papagayo’s natural beauty.
Why the World’s Elite Choose The Hive
With its recent spotlight in Travel + Leisure, The Hive cements itself as a premier destination within Sandglass Hotels & Villas Collection, appealing to those who appreciate the art of elegant privacy. Whether you’re an explorer, a design lover, or simply in search of an extraordinary escape, The Hive invites you to experience Costa Rica’s beauty, culture, and tranquility in the most elevated way.
