Villa Hermes
Modern luxury on the beachfront of Costa Rica
Architecture that defines the journey
Villa Hermes is not just another luxury villa. It is an artistic experience where architecture and design are central to the stay. From the moment you walk through the door, the space stops you — and you don't want it to end.
Designed by Patrick Rey, architect and creator of Odisea Retreats, every line of Hermes was drawn with intention: the sculptural vaulted wood ceiling, the double height, the staircase that behaves more like a sculpture than a structure. Nothing is laid on top as decoration. Everything is part of the design.
The result: a villa that wins the Best Architecture 2026 award by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards — and that guests describe with the same sentence year after year: "The place is even better than the photos."

A glimpse of the space
Every angle of Hermes is designed as a visual experience. Architecture frames the ocean. Nature is integrated into the interior. Light changes the character of the spaces hour by hour.
Five private sanctuaries
Five private rooms, each with en-suite bathroom and A/C. Four with direct ocean view. One with tropical garden view. All share the same architectural language: sculptural design, natural materials, integrated light.

Walk through Villa Hermes
A visual journey through the spaces that define Hermes — from the entrance that stops you to the sunset from the infinity pool.
The moments that stay
Hermes isn't just where you stay — it's where the moments happen that you remember from the trip.
Sunset from the pool
The light descending over the ocean, palms framing the view, reflections in the water. Everything is aligned so that moment feels designed.
The arrival impact
The first thing guests say when they arrive is not "what a beautiful pool." It's "the whole place is incredible." The design does the work.
The night transformation
Hermes changes character at nightfall. Sculptural lighting, total privacy, the house becomes a different space.
Private Chef
Breakfasts, signature dinners and bespoke menus in the villa's open kitchen.
Spa & Massage
Therapists who come to the villa: couples massages, therapies and treatments.
Tours & Adventure
Surf, beach horseback rides, catamaran and volcanoes, arranged from the villa.
Yoga & Wellness
Private sunrise classes and full retreats with a dedicated instructor.
Best Architecture 2026
Patrick Rey didn't design a villa. He designed an inhabitable work of art. And the world just noticed. Villa Hermes has been awarded Best Architecture 2026 by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards.
