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 home is entirely separate, private, and secure:
- Nimbu Vida East: airbnb.com/h/nimbueast
- Nimbu Vida West: airbnb.com/h/nimbuwest
Each property accommodates up to 10 guests across five bedrooms, including a fully appointed casita. Both homes have their own pools and comprehensive amenities.
For larger groups and retreats, the properties can be opened and interconnected to create a spectacular 10-bedroom compound for up to 20 guests:
- Nimbu Vida: airbnb.com/h/nimbuvida
When reserved separately, the homes share only a private gate that remains concealed and secure. Whether booked as one home or as a vast interconnected compound, the grounds, amenities, service, and complete Nimbu experience feel both impressive and intimate.
Resort-Style Grounds
After entering through the keypad-controlled gate in the quiet neighborhood of Playa Langosta, guests are welcomed into a completely private resort environment. The ground floor and surrounding grounds feature:
- Interconnected infinity pools
- Integrated lounge and exercise areas

The thoughtful flow, natural materials, amenities, and tranquil atmosphere create an immediately inviting experience.
Attention to detail, quality, and design is central to Nimbu. Impeccable lighting, audiovisual systems, technology, custom furniture, luxurious linens, fine craftsmanship, and premium materials come together 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. The 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 others—including the main suite and guest or office bedrooms—connect across the central deck.
Throughout the home, the bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable, beautifully designed, and fully appointed. The expansive main suite includes a spa-quality shower and bathroom, while the bedrooms feature:
- Large custom-built furniture

Private Casita
The detached and fully appointed casita is tucked privately beside the lower pool area. It includes:

The casita provides additional privacy and independence for guests who prefer a more secluded space.
Kitchen, Dining, and Entertainment
The main indoor kitchen and living area can open completely across a 30-foot span of floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Guests can enjoy the space either closed and climate-controlled or open to the covered teak dining and lounge area.
The kitchen and integrated living space are fully equipped for preparing meals or being served by a private cook. The flexible indoor-outdoor environment also includes a high-end covered gas grill with:

My family and I just had the most incredible stay. The property is absolutely gorgeous and creatively designed. This will be a memory that will go to them in the books. The staff was very kind, including Carlos, the house manager and the concierge Andrea. Andrea, booked massages at the house at also a local chef to do a cooking demonstration of Costa Rican food. This was a true blessing for all of our family.

A group of eight friends celebrated their 40th birthdays at Nimbu. We loved the villa - the pool is perfect for morning dips and post-beach cool-downs. We used the outdoor gym and were impressed by the equipment. The rooms are large and the beds so comfortable. It was very hot outside but the AC worked perfectly. The cleaning staff are a huge perk - they make you coffee in the mornings and even clean the dishes and do laundry, but don’t feel intrusive. Andrea was a fabulous host - helped us book activities and restaurants (the golf carts are a must!) and she was incredibly responsible and helpful. Book this villa!

We had a fantastic stay at Nimbu. Andrea and team couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s a wonderful house and very private. Coffee in the morning was a lovely touch and help with cleaning and laundry made it feel more like being in a hotel. We can’t wait to return.

We really enjoyed our stay! Once inside the property, you completely forget there are other homes around you. The outdoor area is incredible and is where we spent as much time as possible. Andrea is an amazing host and helped us with everything from groceries to dining to excursions. She is an outstanding communicator. The staff cleaned and did laundry daily, and did it in a way that never disrupted our vacation or felt intrusive. They were very friendly and helpful. The location is extremely convenient- rent a golf cart and you can quickly and easily get to anywhere in Tamarindo. It is also just a short walk to the beach. I would highly recommend this property and would have loved to have stayed longer!

Our stay at Nimbu was wonderful! From the beginning the concierge Andrea was proactive, responsive and so helpful. She helped me plan a five day trip for ten people (5 couples) and everything went smoothly. The local cooks she recommended were fantastic and had our meals prepared on time and everything tasted amazing! The Bali private yacht we rented was wonderful, Luca and his staff were welcoming and showed us a great time on our sunset cruise. Finally we did an ATV and Zipline adventure with Hacienda El Roble and it was a great experience where we all tried something new and made fantastic memories. We travel as a group each year and this was by far one of the best experiences we've ever had. The home was spotless and more beautiful than the pictures. I would absolutely love to stay here again and highly recommend it.

Our stay at Nimbu was more than we could have imagined. The location was great - walkable into Tamarindo but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful. The size of the house was just right for our group of 2 families (9 people); we loved the pool immensely, the daily staff was kind, friendly, and helpful, and our concierge Andrea went above and beyond with recommendations and assisted us within 30 minutes when needed. If we come back to Tamarindo, we will definitely be staying here again!
