Almond

Almendra is a beautiful five-bedroom house in prestigious K section that sleeps ten people. Situated just 4 minutes’ walk from the beach, it is laid out to create a central courtyard which has the feeling of a tranquil and private oasis with water cascading over the edge of an open infinity pool. Seamless indoor-outdoor living is the theme of the property. Along one side of the pool is the main terrace with lots of single and double sun loungers for relaxing in comfort. At one end of the terrace there is an outdoor couch seating area under a double height pergola, with a big fan to keep you cool. At the other end of the terrace there is a BBQ with a food preparation area. At the backside of the house is a large teak deck covered with shade trees, an ideal location for yoga, having a message or just taking a relaxing nap in the hammock. The main open plan living/dining/kitchen area has glass sliding doors that can be opened all the way back to create a feeling of indoor-outdoor space to the terrace on one side and to the back garden on the other. The kitchen has black granite countertops and is fully-equipped with stainless steel appliances, as well as a wine fridge and a teppanyaki plate. The dining table is made locally from a beautiful piece of Guanacaste wood. The sitting area has two large couches and a flat screen TV. There is a further separate TV/movie room with a large couch. Both living areas have state-of-the-art TV and media systems. There is WIFI throughout the house. All five bedrooms are upstairs and lead off beautiful galleries which look out over the central courtyard and pool. Casa Almendra sleeps ten people in total: there are three main bedrooms, each with king beds and en-suite bathrooms, and two smaller twin bedrooms, which share a Jack and Jill bathroom. All the bedrooms have beautiful teak flooring and furniture which was handmade locally. If you’re coming in from surfing, there is a board room where you can store your surfboards, and outdoor showers to rinse off. We also have some yoga mats so you can get in that pre- or post- surf stretch. All the living areas and bedrooms are air conditioned. The bedrooms also have louvers which can be opened so the rooms can be kept cool and airy without using air conditioning if preferred – and you help the environment. There is a laundry room with washer and dryer. Concierge, Tours etc. available on request. Note: The house is not suitable for young children (10 years or younger)
