Recently, I attended the exclusive launch event for The St. Regis Papagayo, a spectacular new luxury development set in the breathtaking Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. This remarkable property perfectly captures the spirit of “Pura Vida” — Costa Rica’s famous way of life that celebrates balance, nature, and pure living — while elevating it to an entirely new level of sophistication.
The St. Regis brand, founded in 1904 as a haven for the world’s most distinguished guests, continues its legacy here with unparalleled residences and amenities. Backed by Marriott, the world’s largest hotel group, this development offers the perfect blend of exclusivity, comfort, and impeccable service, supported by Marriott’s strong loyalty programs and expert management.
Spanning over 124 acres with more than 130 residences, the community features private clubs like the Volcano Club, reserved solely for owners, offering breathtaking 360-degree views looking out onto the water. There are also amenities tailored for every generation, including kids and teens clubs, an owners lounge, and a meticulously designed 9-hole golf course by Piza Golf.
The development will be delivered in phases, with Phase 1 unveiling the Cliff Club, Volcano Club, Racquet Club, and the striking Astor Mansion. The Astor Mansions – part of the elite Aster Estates – are situated at the highest point on the cliffs, boasting open-air terraces with firepits and expansive outdoor kitchens, perfect for entertaining with unobstructed views. As the team says, “Why have incredible when you can have outrageous?”
Environmental stewardship is a priority here, with 70% of the land remaining untouched to preserve Costa Rica’s natural beauty. All residences come turnkey furnished by globally renowned designers, with prices starting at $3 million for fully furnished homes, and reaching $30 million for larger 3- and 4-bedroom estates.
Michael Kalb, VP of Sales for St. Regis Papagayo, shared exciting updates about the project, including the groundbreaking scheduled for next week and an expected completion timeline of 24 months.
This launch not only marks a new pinnacle in luxury real estate for Costa Rica but also redefines how “Pura Vida” and outrageous elegance can coexist in harmony.
