Waldorf Astoria Residences Costa Rica Punta Cacique announces the official launch of sales for a limited collection of exquisitely furnished four- and five-bedroom Estate Homes priced from mid-$7 million—marking the very first opportunity to own a private home within the 600-acre Punta Cacique luxury resort community. These dramatic cliffside Estate Homes with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Papagayo follow the recent opening of the Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique resort—the brand’s first hotel in the country and the beginning of a multi-phase master plan that will introduce a series of resorts, residences, and wellness-driven amenities, to one of Costa Rica’s most spectacular and thoughtfully preserved coastal settings.
With the condominium residences sold out and nearing completion, the release of the Estate Homes marks the next phase of ownership at Punta Cacique—with the first home scheduled for completion by this summer.
Steve Case (co-founder of AOL), Chairman and CEO of Revolution Places, spent two decades cultivating the right plans and partners to bring this project to life in a way that respects the land’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. The result is Punta Cacique: an ecologically attuned destination that merges immersive design, personalized hospitality, and access to Costa Rica's most celebrated coastal region. Revolution Places has envisioned the community as a model for next-generation travel and living, rooted in wellness, sustainability, and authentic experience. Case, whose legacy spans community-building in the digital world to transformative real estate, views Punta Cacique as a response to a growing desire for places that blend purpose with beauty—a place where people can reconnect with nature, their families, and themselves.
Thoughtfully designed to embrace the natural beauty and unhurried rhythm of life on Punta Cacique, each Estate Home features unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and the Bay. Created by an acclaimed team of architects, planners, and landscape designers—including Garnier Arquitectos, RoblesArq, Gensler, and EDSA—the homes are sustainably built with natural materials and feature expansive open layouts that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Earth-toned palettes, native landscaping, atmospheric lighting, private pools, and natural ventilation seamlessly connect the land and sea.
More than just beautifully crafted residences, the Estate Homes are designed to support a lifestyle rooted in well-being and nature—embracing the principles of Costa Rica’s renowned Blue Zones through sustainable materials, intentional design, and immersive indoor-outdoor living.
Signature features include:
For homeowners, the resort’s amenities are an extension of daily life—crafted by the hospitality visionaries of Waldorf Astoria to inspire ease, well-being, and connection to nature.

The Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique, which opened on April 22, 2025, introduces a new era of Waldorf Astoria hospitality to Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Located cliffside above Playa Penca and designed as a vertical village that blends organically into the land, the resort features 188 guest rooms and suites—each offering ocean views—and a wide range of experiences, from six culinary venues, the iconic Peacock Alley Bar, and a 10,000-square-foot meeting space, to a 17,000-square-foot spa and wellness sanctuary with ritual-based treatments inspired by local Chorotega traditions. Guests enjoy access to multi-level pools, beach cabanas, curated local excursions, and programming designed to connect them with the landscape, culture, and community of Guanacaste.
Surrounded by the Guanacaste province’s vibrant tropical forests, volcanoes, and beaches, Punta Cacique is located in one of the world’s five Blue Zones—regions known for longevity and vitality. The area invites an active, balanced lifestyle, from barefoot walks along Playa Penca to sunset dinners overlooking the Pacific, to hiking, surfing, and wildlife excursions in nearby national parks.
Punta Cacique is ideally located just minutes from the local towns of Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco—home to local markets, beachfront restaurants, artisanal shops, and a warm, welcoming community. The property is 25 minutes from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR), which serves over 15 airlines and nearly 2 million travelers annually from major cities across North America.
The Ardila Costello Team (ACT) at Compass, led by Andy Ardila, is Waldorf Astoria Residences Costa Rica Punta Cacique's exclusive sales and marketing partner.
