Villa in Tamarindo

5.0 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews

El Chante

Overlooking the point where Playa Tamarindo and Playa Grande intersect through the estuary, El Chante is a tropical haven with sweeping oceanfront views that epitomizes any nature or surf lover’s vision of paradise. A pioneer eco-luxury retreat, El Chante is perhaps the most beautiful vacation rental in Costa Rica. From open air design eliminating the need for air conditioning to recycled water irrigating the gardens, El Chante is a choice getaway destination you can feel good about. Dip your toes in the refreshing waters of the infinity swimming pool or stroll through the lush Costa Rican jungle landscape. The manicured grounds at this stunning vacation rental also feature sun loungers and a wet bar. Surf boards are provided for the convenience of guests who love to hang ten. The massage studio and yoga deck area is simply divine. Interior perks at El Chante include satellite television, wine fridge, ice maker and Wi-Fi. Your reservation includes 24/7 security, housekeeping and fresh Costa Rican breakfasts each morning. Guests at this villa also receive complimentary access to the Pangas Beach Club. The open great room of the main bungalow features a state-of-the-art kitchen with a large center island, an open air living room and a formidable, yet understated dining set. Set beneath high vaulted ceilings and intriguing lighting fixtures, the various sections are visually cordoned off, yet united with rich shades of wood. The adjacent entertainment cabana features the media room. At El Chante, you’ll be just a one minute walk to the excitement of downtown Tamarindo as well as the beach. Indulge your senses and take pleasure knowing you’ve chosen the only residence in Costa Rica that fosters a sustainable relationship with nature without compromise to sophistication. The golf courses at Reserva Conchal and Hacienda Pinilla are also just a jaunt away. We recommend this villa for a family holiday, a couples retreat or a special event like a wedding or birthday. Start each day with a delicious and authentic Costa Rican breakfast (included!). All you have to do is to relax and enjoy your stay, knowing that our dedicated housekeeping team will clean the house six days a week (Monday through Saturday).
