Prices are calculated per square metre of build area, with a typical villa costing $500-$2,000 (USD) per square metre. The quality of materials will influence the cost, but most builds fall within this price bracket.
As the cost of building in Costa Rica directly relates to the size of the villa, calculating the cost of a build will depend on the size required. Larger villas will cost more than smaller villas.

WHAT SIZE VILLA DO I NEED?
The villa size you choose is influenced by a clients budget, requirements and land size.
Bigger budgets can afford a larger villa. Generally, 3 and 4 bedroom villas perform better than smaller villas as short term holiday rentals, and can result in the highest return on investment.
Not all villas are for investment purposes, as many clients build a villa as their main residence. In this case, each individual client is likely to have their own preference, whether that is more space dedicated to the master bedroom, or larger entertainment/relaxation areas.
The size of land available to build a new villa is one of the main restrictions when building a villa. Generally, villas in Bali are no more than 3 levels high, and a pool is highly recommended in the tropical heat. Our architects are experts at maximising space, and can create the perfect design for your plot.
