VILLA DAIQUIRI - PLAYA HERMOSA

THIS PROPERTY INCLUDES A MEMBERSHIP TO HERMOSA BEACHFRONT DURING YOUR STAY

Introducing Villa Daiquiri, a majestic and historic vacation compound rooted in an illustrious heritage. Constructed in the early 1980s, it served as the residence for the granddaughter of the Bacardi liquor empire's founder. This gem in the heart of Costa Rica was designed to be the family's secure and luxurious haven away from their homeland, Cuba.

Spread across a sprawling acre (4,050 square meters), the Villa boasts an impressive 200 feet (60 meters) of direct beach frontage. Its robust structure is ensconced within protective concrete walls on three sides and includes a guardhouse, reflecting a conscious focus on security.

The Villa's construction is a testament to timeless durability and intricate design, featuring 18-inch thick poured concrete walls. The second floor functions as a "safe room", equipped with an intricate custom-made "jailhouse" door, a symbol of strong defense against potential intruders.

The Villa exudes a fusion of art deco and 70's funk styles, featuring amenities that were considered luxuries at the time of its construction, such as central AC and dishwashers. Adorned with custom and hand-painted tiles imported from Spain, Italy, and Mexico, it creates a delightful visual feast. The distinctive half-moon windows, constructed on-site, add to its unique charm.

The craftsmanship that went into building Villa Daiquiri is unrivaled, especially considering the challenges of bringing high-end custom items to the heart of a jungle. The 40+ year old almond woodwork on the ceiling still shines as if it were installed just yesterday, and the custom tiles in the kitchen bear the artist's personal signature.

In the spirit of maintaining the Villa's original character, we have renovated systems as needed, while keeping as many original elements as possible. The lush grounds are home to an array of exotic plants and flowers, including the aromatic ingredient in the iconic Chanel #5 fragrance.

Staying true to its legacy, we believe the Bacardi family would be proud of the transformation of their beloved Villa. We invite you to relish in the luxury of our renovated mansion, surrounded by mesmerizing scenery, playful Howler monkeys, and the soothing sound of surf to lull you to sleep. Welcome to Villa Daiquiri, your private retreat in Costa Rica.
