Exclusive Private Castle in Costa Rica, Full Staff & Ocean View | House in Esparza
11 Bedroom House in Esparza
El Castillo de Esparza is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic private estates, long celebrated among distinguished travelers and now available for exclusive rental. Set high above the Gulf of Nicoya with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, this extraordinary private castle offers privacy, scale, and service rarely found anywhere in Central America.
Spanning over 45,000 square feet, the estate is fully gated and ideal for romantic escapes, family reunions, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, incentive travel, weddings, and private events. Guests enjoy complete use of the property with total privacy and uninterrupted ocean views.
The estate features 10 spacious bedrooms and 10+ bathrooms, including two expansive multi-room suites, comfortably accommodating groups from 2 up to 30 guests. The Main House alone spans approximately 25,000 sq ft, complemented by two guest houses, all fully air-conditioned and thoughtfully designed for comfort and elegance.
Originally owned by a Belgian Countess, the castle was designed by a renowned German architect and crafted using Costa Rican hardwoods and local artisanship. Every space reflects timeless architecture blended with tropical luxury.
