Suspended between the sea and sky, THE HIVE is a private residence unlike any other villa in the region. Elegant and inviting, it serves as a meeting point for friends, couples, and multi-generational families, offering the perfect space to reconnect and enjoy the magic of Costa Rica.

While luxury villas have been carefully designed across Peninsula Papagayo for years, there is only one HIVE—a living, breathing place that resonates with you, shaped by the unique experiences you create during your stay.

THE HIVE is not just a gathering place for people, but a destination for design enthusiasts. The creation of THE HIVE involved sourcing components from over 10 countries, each piece carefully selected to contribute to a cohesive and unified design. As these elements blend together, they form a harmonious tapestry where the individual pieces disappear into a seamless aesthetic. As you explore, you’ll find that every corner holds a new discovery, every sightline reveals a hidden detail, and every door opens to a delightful surprise.

THE HIVE exudes an unexpected yet purposeful sense of lightness and flow, creating a soul-refreshing atmosphere. Beds appear to float above the ground, and every room seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor views, revealing the jungle, ocean, and horizon beyond. It’s hard to fully capture the experience of staying here, but it’s safe to say that feeling in harmony with a place has never felt more natural—or more timely—than at THE HIVE.

Indoor and outdoor dining areas at THE HIVE are awash in vibrant shades of turquoise, blue, and green, as if the striking colors of the infinity pool and the Pacific Ocean have come ashore. Dining here is an experience of its own, with our full-time chef leading you on a culinary journey featuring the freshest seafood and produce that Costa Rica has to offer. Our full-time, world-class chef is here to cater to your every culinary desire for breakfast and dinner each day. While he specializes in traditional Costa Rican and Central American cuisine, he’s just as happy to prepare a classic hamburger if that’s what you’re craving. If you have a specific dish in mind, simply let him know—your wish is his command.

The beauty of THE HIVE lies in its versatility, allowing you to shape each experience exactly as you desire. It can be vibrant and lively or perfectly peaceful and serene. Whether you’re seeking an adrenaline rush or a moment of deep relaxation, THE HIVE offers a wide range of features and activities to meet every mood and need. Of course, our full-time concierge can arrange thrilling adventures like ziplining through the rainforest, hiking a volcano, or deep-sea fishing in the Pacific. But what truly sets us apart is our ability to share the authentic essence of Costa Rica with you and your guests—introducing you to hidden gems, rich cultural experiences, and local treasures that only we know.
