When a man who has survived the world’s most extreme wilderness conditions chooses a luxury villa for his vacation, you know the property is something special.
Jeff Zausch — best known as one of the most decorated survivalists on Discovery Channel’s hit series Naked and Afraid — brings his group every year to Palacio Tropical and Palacio Musical on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.
Jeff has survived jungles, deserts, and some of the most punishing environments on earth. So when it comes to choosing where to relax, recover, and celebrate with friends, his standards are understandably high.
He experiences both Palacio Tropical and Palacio Musical — our two flagship beachfront estates on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Together, the properties offer over 23,000 sq ft of private luxury, direct beach access, ocean-view decks, full staff service, and the kind of peace and privacy that’s nearly impossible to find anywhere else.
For a group like Jeff’s — adventurous, outdoors-driven, and used to being fully immersed in nature — Costa Rica is the ultimate destination. The Nicoya Peninsula offers world-class surfing, zip-lining through rainforest canopies, ATV tours, catamaran sailing, and whale watching right from the villa’s deck. But after a day of adventure, there’s nothing better than coming back to a private beachfront estate with a cold drink and a stunning Pacific sunset.
Palacio Tropical sits directly on the beach with 7 en-suite bedrooms, a grand dining room seating 14, a large pool, and full staff including cooks, housekeeping, and concierge service. Right next door, Palacio Musical adds another 7 en-suites, three spectacular ocean-view decks, a whale watching observatory, and a professional music studio. Both properties can be booked together — making them the perfect choice for larger groups, multi-family vacations, events, and retreats.
Jeff Zausch’s visits are a reminder that the most extraordinary experiences don’t require roughing it. Sometimes the best adventure ends with a sunset on a private beach, surrounded by the people you love, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
