Overview
Nestled in the picturesque hills of Las Catalinas, Los Roques is a modern villa featuring four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms within a gated community. This three-story retreat offers sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and mountains, designed to provide privacy, luxury, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The Space
The Home
This villa is thoughtfully designed to resemble a boutique hotel, with four detached and private guest suites. Each suite has its own ensuite bathroom and direct access to connected terraces. Three of the suites are furnished with king-size beds, while the fourth suite contains two double beds. The layout balances privacy and connection, with all rooms linked by a central outdoor staircase and balcony system.
The top floor boasts a bright, ocean-facing chef’s kitchen equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, espresso machine, ice maker, blender, and all necessary cookware. A large dining table is available for enjoying meals at home.
At the opposite end of the top floor, there is a cozy entertainment room featuring a spacious sectional sofa, a SMART TV, and a dedicated desk area. For added convenience during longer stays, a washer and dryer are also provided.
Outdoor Living
The outdoor areas emphasize the stunning views, with multiple terrace levels, a private pool, and unobstructed sightlines of the ocean and lush hills. Guests can relax on daybeds, enjoy sunset cocktails in shaded seating areas, or use the grill for casual barbecues.
Additionally, there is a dedicated exercise space equipped with yoga mats, free weights, and an exercise bike, ideal for staying active while taking in the natural surroundings.
Location and Accessibility
Los Roques is situated within a gated community, approximately a 15-minute walk from beach access. The vibrant town center of Las Catalinas is just a 5-minute drive away, offering boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, world-class hiking trails, and additional beach access.
Nearby towns such as Potrero and Flamingo are only minutes away by car, providing grocery stores, local dining options, and casual beach bars. This location offers a perfect balance between tranquil hillside living and convenient access to amenities.
Guest Access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire home, pool, and all on-site facilities. The property supports self-check-in, and a team is available nearby to assist with any needs, from local recommendations to on-the-ground support.
Full concierge services are offered to enhance your stay, including private chefs, adventure tours, transportation, grocery pre-stocking, wellness services, and more.
Important Notes
While families are welcome, this villa may not be ideal for those traveling with young children. The bedrooms are detached and accessed separately via outdoor walkways and stairs, providing excellent privacy but potentially posing challenges for families requiring close proximity between rooms.
Additional Information
The villa is located approximately 24.9 miles (40 kilometers) from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR).

The view is spectacular, the place is exactly as seen in the photos, and it is close to many beaches.

Our group of couples had a great time at this home! The separate rooms worked perfectly for our group. The host gave us very clear and easy instructions on how to check in. The home was clean, quiet and looked exactly like the photos. We were able to walk to the beach and had a short drive to las Catalinas. The best part was the views, the views of the coast were incredible. We would book here again in a heartbeat.

We have stayed here three times. The only complaint, which we have voiced in the past, is that there is a sewage smell coming from the bedroom on level two to the left. It was also there the last time we stayed. It needs to be fixed. Thanks! Jeff

Clean home, everything we needed for a nice stay. Pool was refreshing. Communication was excellent and responsive. Villa is up a steep hill, somewhat remote, but excellent views. Pool area needs a couple of regular chairs.

The house is very separated. Kitchen , living are in separate area. None of the rooms are connected. In pictures, it didnt show that. We had kids, we couldn’t have them hang out in the living room while the adults are in kitchen. We had to sit on the floor in the kitchen to play together. The pool is not bad, be mindful that the irrigation of 3 potted plants are dripping right into the pool. That was a little uncomfortable. Bedrooms are on and off with urine odors possibly from pipings. We only end up using 2 rooms out of 4 while having 7 people. I wouldn’t be coming back.

Can’t beat the views, especially from the top floor! Everything was as described. The pool and hangout area was perfect for our group to relax and hangout together. The host was super helpful and responsive at helping with any requests before we came (coordinated our transportation and excursions and private chef) and questions while staying. The views do come with a cost of a very steep driveway up so definitely can walk to the beach but may not want to due to the hike up the hill, with rental car it was perfect! Would highly recommend!
