Waldorf Astoria Residences Costa Rica Punta Cacique

A residence with the Pacific in view

The terraces of Punta Cacique give you a reason to linger. Perched along the peninsula’s southwestern edge, the Estate Homes at Waldorf Astoria Residences Costa Rica open toward the Pacific and sunset views, bringing the landscape into a stay with room to spread out. Fully furnished four- and five-bedroom residences make this a compelling choice when sharing a vacation calls for the privacy and living space of a home.

Space to share, service close at hand

Indoor and outdoor spaces flow together, with private infinity plunge pools, expansive terraces and chef-caliber kitchens. Earthy tones, living rooftops and architecture by Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos connect the residences with their tropical dry-forest surroundings. You can spend an afternoon in your own space, then draw on the resort’s dining and wellness facilities when you want a change of scene.

Housekeeping, in-residence dining and a dedicated 24/7 personal concierge bring hotel service into the residential setting. Residents also have full access to the resort’s amenities. The pleasure lies in choosing the rhythm for your group: a meal within your own home, time together on the terrace or a restaurant evening in a different part of the resort, while retaining the privacy of a residence to return to.

Dining within the resort

La Finca’s open-flame cooking highlights locally sourced Guanacaste seafood and dry-aged beef. Peacock Alley adds its signature clock, inspired by Costa Rican craft, to an open-air lobby lounge; Tico Tica is an all-day brasserie and Vida brings dining to the oceanfront poolside. Residents have access to six dining venues in total, giving a shared stay different places to meet without leaving the resort.

Pools, Playa Penca and the spa

The resort’s multi-level pools follow the terraces down the landscape, with areas for relaxation and family activity. The Beach Club provides direct access to Playa Penca for beach time, swimming and snorkeling. At the cenote-inspired Waldorf Astoria Spa, tree-canopy treatment rooms and rituals using volcanic mud and native cocoa offer another way to enjoy an afternoon close to the residence.

Dry forest and outings from Punta Cacique

Living rooftops and sustainable materials connect the residences with native flora, and internal transport uses electric vehicles. Tropical dry forest surrounds the peninsula, making the landscape part of the architecture’s appeal. For outings beyond Punta Cacique, sport fishing, diving at the Bat Islands and surfing at Witch’s Rock offer contrasting ways to explore the Guanacaste coast. Return with time for a private-pool swim or a conversation on your terrace as the day turns toward sunset.

Punta Cacique balances its peninsula atmosphere with access to neighboring towns: Playa Hermosa is about ten minutes away and Playas del Coco about fifteen. Guanacaste International Airport, also known as Liberia International Airport, is about twenty-five minutes away. Make this a vacation with room for both outings and the quieter pleasures of a terrace, a private pool and the coast below.
