The Space
Conceived, designed, and built by OsArq in 2023, Nimbu Vida is a luxury property consisting of two identical, adjacent homes in Playa Langosta, Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
Each residence—Nimbu Vida East and Nimbu Vida West—is completely separate, private, and secure. Both homes are ideal for groups of up to 10 guests and include five bedrooms, a fully appointed casita, private pools, and comprehensive amenities.
For larger groups and retreats, the two residences can be opened and interconnected to create a spectacular 10-bedroom compound accommodating up to 20 guests: Nimbu Vida. When reserved separately, the homes share only a private gate that remains concealed and secure.
Whether booked as an individual residence or as one expansive compound, the property’s cohesive design, grounds, amenities, and service create an experience that is both impressive and intimate.
Upon entering through the keypad-controlled gate in the quiet neighborhood of Playa Langosta, guests encounter a completely private resort environment. The ground floor and surrounding grounds feature:
- Interconnected infinity pools
- Integrated lounge and exercise areas
- Outdoor showers
- Lush landscape architecture
- A fully secure and private perimeter
The thoughtful flow, natural materials, amenities, and tranquil atmosphere are immediately inviting.
Attention to detail, quality, and design is central to Nimbu. Impeccable lighting, audiovisual equipment, technology, custom furnishings, luxurious linens, fine craftsmanship, and premium materials combine to create a seamless, high-end environment.
Play and Relax
The main living level is reached by a gradual teak ramp that rises above the sparkling pools below. Upstairs, guests enter an open yet covered space enveloped in teak from floor to vaulted ceiling.
This central indoor-outdoor lounge and dining area connects the main bedrooms, indoor and outdoor kitchens, and upstairs entertainment spaces. All second-floor living areas overlook the pools and grounds, allowing guests to move easily between social gatherings and quiet personal time.
Two of the five guest rooms are accessed from the kitchen side, while two additional rooms—including the main suite and guest or office bedrooms—connect across the central deck.
Every bedroom and bathroom is comfortable, beautifully designed, and fully appointed. The expansive main suite includes a spa-quality shower and bathroom. Large custom built-in furnishings, outdoor balconies, luxurious beds and linens, and distinctive interior design create bedrooms that are both impressive and comfortable.
The detached and fully equipped casita, which serves as the fifth bedroom, is privately positioned beside the lower pool area. It includes:
- King bed
- Second kitchen
- Private dining and living area
- Fiber-optic internet
- Flat-screen television
- Sectional sofa
The casita provides additional privacy and independence for guests who prefer it.
Escape and Indulge
The main indoor kitchen and living area can be opened across a 30-foot span of floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Guests may keep the space closed and climate-controlled or open it to the teak-covered indoor-outdoor dining and lounge area.
The kitchen and integrated living space are fully equipped for cooking or catered meals. Groups can watch movies and sports on the 75-inch flat-screen television, connected to surround-sound Sonos and fiber-optic internet.
An upscale covered outdoor gas grill, complete with an additional sink, counter space, and storage, supports memorable group meals and shared time together.
The Nimbu Experience
Nimbu combines distinctive design, exceptional accommodations, and attentive service. Guests can reserve one residence for groups of up to 10 or combine Nimbu Vida West and Nimbu Vida East for groups of up to 20.
With multiple lounge areas, integrated pools, a gym, and beautifully landscaped grounds, the experience can be as intimate or social, meditative or active, as guests desire.

Our stay was nothing short of fantastic. Every single review was spot on. Paragraph the room rooms and bathroom bathrooms were spotless and felt like a spa. The Air-conditioning in the rooms worked well which was definitely necessary in the Costa Rican heat! We had two families of four including two teenage boys and everybody loved the property. My 18-year-old was able to use the separate downstairs apartment and loved the privacy. Because the property was so nice we spent a lot of time in the saltwater pool. Having Andrea set up the golf carts ahead of time was a plus and definitely the best way to get around. Andrea and management were extremely responsive and diligent in fixing a couple of small issues that came up. I would not hesitate to recommend this stay to friends and family or come back myself! The best way to explore Costa Rica!

Nimbu was the best possible place for our family to spend my mom’s 79th bday. Andrea is a host like no other, she greeted us upon arrival and made sure we wanted for nothing. She had the best recommendations for activities and restaurants and even went a step further and made all of our actual reservations. The home was perfect for our group of 8 and was spacious with a beautiful tropic look/feel. The pool is heated and the outdoor area is great for entertaining. There was a small grocery store literally 30ft away from the home, which was perfect for small store runs. The town of Tamarindo is a 5 min golf cart ride away that has all of the shopping and restaurants.

We had an amazing stay! The host/staff was very quick and responsive, making everything smooth from start to finish. The home was spotless with great amenities, including very comfortable king-size beds. We loved the heated pool and gym area, and the AC kept the house perfectly cool after long days in the heat and humidity. Andrea, the concierge, made planning our bachelorette trip effortless and seamless. Sandra, the house manager, was wonderful—she gave us a full tour and even went above and beyond by coordinating with emergency services when a fallen tree blocked the road, ensuring we still made it to the airport on time. Flamingo Foods provided delicious breakfasts with great service, and housekeeping was exceptional—quiet, thorough, and unobtrusive. The golf carts were also a highlight and made getting around the area so easy and fun. Overall, this was a five-star experience from beginning to end. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone!

LOVED LOVED LOVED every aspect of my stay here! I spent my bachelorette here and was amazed by the incredible service, included concierge and housekeeping. Everything was perfect! So clean and so relaxing here. Andrea was absolutely amazing! She helped coordinate all my restaurants, transportation and activities during my stay here. She was very responsive and helped me plan everything months before so by the time I got there, everything was ready. All of our plans went so smooth and she gave the best recommendations. Thank you so much for helping making this trip unforgettable and the bach of my dreams. I would stay here again and again! Loved Costa Rica and this beautiful villa. Already considering coming back next year and renting out both villas!

Our 7 day stay at the Nimbu West Villa was everything we could have asked for. The home is gorgeous and comfortably accommodated our party of 9 adults. We loved the pool and hot tub and enjoyed it everyday we were there. The location is very convenient with a grocery store, restaurants, and the beach within close walking distance. We rented golf carts which made it very easy to get in and out of Tamarindo. Big thanks to Andrea our concierge for helping arrange multiple excursions and logistics in advance of our arrival. We also appreciated the housekeeping staff for making the home so clean and providing anything we needed. It was a great stay and we hope to come back again soon.

If you're looking for the ideal mix of peace and convenience, this place delivers. The location is tucked away in a quiet setting, but you're only minutes from downtown Tamarindo. Easy access to restaurants, beaches, and nightlife without any of the noise. The house itself was excellent from top to bottom. The layout was well thought out, everything was spotless, and the amenities covered everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The outdoor spaces were amazing. Highly recommend!

This house is insanely beautiful! It was such a treat to stay. It’s a true jungle dream house. We spent so much time enjoying the pool, and it’s a quick uber ride to town/the beach. We booked a chef dinner through the concierge service which was truly incredible. We also booked a private catamaran tour which was truly amazing. We also got grocery delivery service and arrived to a fully stocked fridge! The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay absolutely perfect. It is so appreciated! The bathroom in the master suite is basically a spa. The retractable roof is like nothing I’ve ever seen. The in-ground hot tub is luxurious! If you are looking for a unique stay — don’t hesitate to book! It’s great for groups and everyone will love the cool design.
