“ Our architecture is built off of a 1960s Brazilian architect named Oscar Niemeyer, who is one of the fathers of minimalism,” Irongate Group director Michael Radovan“ So our architecture is more elegant in its simplicity. It is very homogeneous with the environment around it. That is a big attraction to Costa Palmas— the architecture is very sophisticated, and so it’ s very appealing to the eye.”
Four Seasons homes emulate vacation living with sprawling expanses that include semi-customizable casitas and villa designs, all spread across Costa Palmas with views of the beach, golf club, marina or club. Residents and their guests move between indoor and outdoor living with fireplaces, daybeds, outdoor showers and other features.
Meanwhile, Amanvari plays up the grandeur with 24 turnkey residences, ranging
|
from four to seven-bedroom homes. With original design by Heah & Co., realized by Elastic Architects, Amanvari follows Aman’ s unwavering dedication to merging nature and architecture. These homes exhibit the illusion of intimate quarters, although each one spans from 6,000 to 20,000 square feet.
BEYOND THE BEACH
Through the activity epicenter, another oasis of adventures awaits. Costa Palmas Beach and Yacht Club sits between Four Seasons and Amanvari and operates independently, with memberships available to residents of both communities. To maintain its legacy, Costa Palmas carries a virtual membership structure for families to enjoy the club and its perks for generations to come.
“ You can stay for weeks and do something different every day,” says Radovan, who emphasizes that the roster of features serves as a testament to the variety and diversity of Costa Palmas’ core lifestyle values, and maintains an intuitive flow.

MARINA MARVELS
As the epicenter of the complex, The Marina Village houses lively social spaces and dining excursions from renowned culinary artists. Start the

day at Casena, the breezy café with picture-perfect toasts and dusty pastel furnishings. Then, stroll across the marina to charter a yacht for the day, if you didn’ t BYOB( bring your own boat). Watercraft owners can park their boats to indulge in shopping and relaxation at The Marina, a full-service station with 24-hour maintenance and additional transportation around the grounds.
From the Village, dayclub Delphine awaits, as an escape into the south of France that retains its signature Baja influences. Chef Ludo Lefebvre marries the Riviera with this La Ribera address by featuring French cuisine with a regional draw, like an avocado and citrus salad starter with a fresh and fruity cocktail. Later, jump into a water taxi to dine at Mozza, the colorful Italian-inspired eatery helmed by Michelin star and James Beard award-winning chef Nancy Silverton. Or, for late-night allure, Chiki nightclub turns up the heat after sundown, with rich supper club delights and“ elixirs” flowing with live DJ music until midnight.
