Imagine owning your own boutique resort in one of Atenas' most desirable view locations—close enough to town for convenience, yet elevated enough to feel like a private tropical retreat.
This exceptional Vista Atenas hospitality property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, established resort-style estate with the infrastructure and flexibility to serve multiple purposes.
Offered at US$1,750,000, the property encompasses approximately 8,940 m² / 2.21 acres and features 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, along with extensive guest and common areas.
This is not simply a large home with extra bedrooms.
It was designed around the experience of hosting guests.
The property includes:
That combination gives a new owner something extremely valuable:
The property's elevated Vista Atenas position provides impressive views extending across Atenas, the Central Valley and toward San José.
The architecture and layout take advantage of those views, particularly from the guest accommodations, observation decks, pool area and common spaces.
This is exactly the kind of setting that makes a boutique property memorable.
Guests don't simply stay here.
The accommodation mix creates an interesting balance between comfort and character.
The five suites offer a more residential experience, with full kitchens and private balconies, making them particularly attractive for longer stays, couples, families or guests seeking additional independence.
The five eco-villas introduce a different experience, with private upper observation decks that take advantage of the surrounding landscape.
For an operator, that diversity creates the opportunity to market different accommodation experiences under one roof.
The pool and deck provide the property's natural social center.
Combined with the restaurant/BBQ area and common gathering spaces, the property has the ingredients necessary for:
Private events
Destination celebrations
Retreats
Corporate gatherings
Family groups
Wellness experiences
Boutique accommodation
Longer-term stays
The conference room, with capacity for approximately 60 people, adds another potentially valuable dimension to the business model.
One of the most compelling aspects of this property is its flexibility.
A future owner could continue operating it as a boutique hospitality business—or explore a different combination of uses.
Potential concepts could include:
Continue developing the existing hospitality operation.
Take advantage of the spa, tropical setting and peaceful environment.
Utilize the conference facilities and accommodations for private groups.
Leverage the views, pool and common spaces for weddings, celebrations and private events.
For a buyer who wants substantial accommodations for family and guests.
Live on the property while maintaining a hospitality or rental component.
The exact permitted uses and economics should, of course, be verified during buyer due diligence.
Location is one of the property's strongest advantages.
The resort is approximately five minutes from central Atenas, while Juan Santamaría International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away.
That is an important combination for a hospitality operation.
Guests can reach the property relatively easily from the airport, yet once they arrive, the atmosphere feels distinctly removed from the congestion of the metropolitan area.
And the surrounding Vista Atenas area is increasingly developing an upscale lifestyle identity.
A particularly strong example is nearby Elevé Restaurant, which has established an excellent public reputation for upscale dining, premium food and spectacular mountain views. Tripadvisor currently lists it at 5.0/5 and among the top restaurants in Atenas, while local business data shows approximately 90 reviews with a 4.9/5 rating.
For a prospective hospitality owner, the emergence of quality dining destinations like Elevé helps reinforce the appeal of the area as a destination rather than simply a place to live.
The property is surrounded by mature landscaping and tropical vegetation, creating a sense of privacy that is difficult to reproduce in a conventional urban hotel.
The combination of:
Tropical gardens
Pool
Views
Private balconies
Observation decks
Outdoor gathering areas
creates the feeling of a true destination property.
It is a place where the environment itself becomes part of the product being sold.
At US$1.75 million, this is a substantially different proposition from purchasing a conventional luxury residence in Atenas.
You're acquiring:
That is a substantial hospitality platform.
Whether your goal is to operate an intimate boutique hotel, create a luxury retreat, develop a wellness destination, establish a private event venue, or combine personal use with income-producing accommodations, this property offers a foundation that would be extraordinarily difficult and expensive to recreate from scratch.
The question is what you would do with it.
