A note for Deola and Lanre
Warm, modern, and effortless from the first arrival
Thank you for trusting us with this milestone. Our vision is a stay that feels like a private home rather than a resort — soft mornings by the water, thoughtful long-table dinners, and one unforgettable celebration night in Deola’s honour.
Both properties below comfortably host your group with room for family, close friends and the flexibility to add curated experiences. We have noted where each villa shines, and where we would want to confirm details before committing — so the choice is easy to compare and easy to decide on.
02
Private Chef Dinners
Locally sourced multi-course menus served at the villa — long-table dinners under warm light, no reservations required.
03
The Celebration Night
An elevated evening designed around Deola's love of music and dancing: styled tablescapes, curated music, and a dance floor that keeps the celebration going.
04
Group Adventure
One shared group activity for everyone — a catamaran sunset, a waterfall and rainforest excursion, or a holistic wellness activity — planned as a single experience rather than chosen à la carte.
The shape of the stay
A high level daily itinerary
A working outline for the four nights. Timings and experiences are refined together once the villa is confirmed.
Day one
31 March
Arrival & welcome social
Private airport transfers, villa check-in, and a relaxed welcome social with cocktails and light bites as the group comes together.
Day two
1 April
Group activity
One shared experience for the whole group — catamaran sunset, waterfall and rainforest excursion, or a beach day, confirmed with Deola and Lanre.
Day three
2 April
Celebration dinner
The centrepiece evening: private chef dinner, styled tablescapes, toasts, curated music and dancing well into the night.
Day four
3 April
Holistic wellness activity
A slower, restorative day — sunrise movement or yoga, spa treatments and unhurried time by the pool before the final evening together.
Day five
4 April
Departures
Leisurely breakfast, late check-out where possible, and staggered private transfers back to Liberia (LIR).
Where in Costa Rica

Both shortlisted villas sit on Guanacaste’s North Pacific coast, an hour from Liberia (LIR). Weather notes reflect typical conditions for late March into early April — the close of Costa Rica’s dry season.

- Widest resort amenity set — spa, golf, beach club, courts
- On-site rancho makes an elegant dinner and celebration venue

Entry & visa requirements
Guidance for guests travelling from the USA, UK, Canada and Nigeria. All visitors should hold a passport valid for the full stay, proof of onward or return travel, and complete Costa Rica’s online entry form (Declaración Jurada) within 72 hours of arrival.
United States
No visa required
US passport holders may enter visa-free for up to 180 days. Passport must be valid for the duration of stay.
United Kingdom
No visa required
UK passport holders may enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Passport must be valid for the duration of stay.
Canada
No visa required
Canadian passport holders may enter visa-free for up to 180 days. Passport must be valid for the duration of stay.
Nigeria
Visa required — unless exempt
Nigerian passport holders normally require a consular visa. However, Costa Rica waives the visa for holders of a valid multiple-entry US, Canadian, Schengen, UK, Japanese or South Korean visa (valid at least 3 months beyond arrival), or a US/Canadian permanent residence card. Otherwise, apply at the Costa Rican consulate — allow 8–12 weeks.
Requirements are current at time of writing and can change. We recommend guests confirm with their nearest Costa Rican consulate at least three months before departure — we are happy to support any guest with documentation letters or an invitation from the villa.
