You only need a few ingredients to concoct a memorable and relaxing  tropical vacation: an open schedule, a sweet destination and a gorgeous place to stay. So, take some time off from work, book flights to Costa Rica and plan your upcoming vacation at the luxurious Vista Hermosa, one of the most elite, private and lavish villas you'll find in the exotic hot spot.

At this beautiful locale, you have everything right at your fingertips, from the infinity pool overlooking the calm bay side of the Papagayo Peninsula, to one of the highest ranked golf courses in the whole country. Here are some of the highlights of staying at a luxurious locale such as this glorious bungalow.

Seclusion with Access
Sometimes, it's difficult to find the best balance between privacy and opportunity, but Vista Hermosa creates the picture-perfect middle ground so you get exactly what you want. The three-bedroom luxury rental is completely private, giving you and your guests free reign to do whatever you please in your own vacation rental, but you still have amenities like the award-winning Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course and nearby hotel restaurants at your disposal. The seclusion and the perks strike a happy balance that most vacationers covet, and by staying here, you'll have set yourself up for an unforgettable stay.

Unexpected Perks
Some bonus qualities aren't noticed until you've actually set foot on the villa rental grounds and done some exploring. Those who have stayed at Vista Hermosa in the past have come back raving about the exotic wildlife they found while strolling through the property grounds. Costa Rica is famous for its lush tropical rainforests, which are home to many diverse species, including howler monkeys, iguanas and pizotes, all of which you'll probably see while sipping your morning cappuccino! Also, the smaller details of the actual villa never go unnoticed by guests - its beauty is too great to ignore. A collection of gorgeous art adorns the walls of the high-end condo, including pieces from Bali, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.

Views at Every Corner
Perhaps the name "Vista Hermosa" gives it away, but the architects surely took advantage of the villa's awesome location (atop a peninsula overlooking the Bahia de Culebra) and created an open-air terrace off every single room of the condo. No matter where you choose to relax, you'll have panoramic views of the exotic Costa Rican landscape right in front of you. Whether you want to look out at the golf course, the infinity edge pool or a section of the forest where you'll certainly spot a howler monkey, it's all at the "Beautiful View" villa.

So Much to Do!
Drink, eat, explore, swim - your options for adventure are endless. You have some of the finest dining options only a walk or golf cart ride away at places like Marea Bar & Restaurant or Caracol, possibly the best spot for steak. If you're looking for a killer mojito, head to the Dive Bar in Marina Papagayo, where dozens of yacht owners come to mingle.
