THE LOCATION
Set between the resortâs two infinity pools and just a few minutes walk to our stunning, tranquil beach, we love our location, as it offers privacy that can be hard to find in a resort AND views that are second to none!
THE VILLA
The Villa is a 2,200 sq ft split level, with kitchen, living room, dining room, and full laundry on the main floor, a powder room half-way up the stairs, and 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and large balcony upstairs. After an extensive renovation, during which we focused on local materials and preserving the Costa Rican vibe, the Villa features natural stone flooring, solid wood cabinetry and furniture, upscale large and small appliances, and in the dining room, a bamboo ceiling. The front of the Villa opens up via two sets of French doors to let the outside in. Views from every room on both levels are second to none.
Upstairs, the master bedroom and ensuite are furnished with gorgeous pochote wood. Both the master and second bedrooms walk out to a large balcony where you can savor your morning coffee as you watch the howler monkeys swinging in the trees, or whales, dolphins, and manta rays swimming by in the bay. The third bedroom looks out the other direction over the islands of the Gulf of Papagayo.
Local artwork and prints of scenery from around the area decorate the walls.
The villa is equipped with a high quality water filtration system to ensure your drinking water and ice are absolutely pure. High speed Internet is also provided.
THE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
In Costa Rica, your outdoor space is just as important as whatâs indoor. At our Villa, the expansive outdoor living area is furnished with vibrant and cozy furniture that you can curl up in to read a book, enjoy your breakfast, or watch the local wildlife such as monkeys, iguanas, and coatimundi which are all frequent visitors. The panoramic beach and ocean views make hanging out in the outdoor living space special, as whales, dolphins, schools of tuna, and manta rays can often be seen cruising by or frolicking out in front of the resort.
RELAXING AND DINING
If you are looking for complete relaxation, why leave the property? With a spacious outdoor living area complete with comfortable furniture perfect for snoozing, and room service or a private chef a phone call away, you need never lift a finger. For a change of scenery, chill beside the upper infinity pool or lunch and nap at the beachfront pool and restaurant before your afternoon massage on the beach. If you prefer cooking, you will LOVE the gorgeous new solid wood and quartz kitchen, and dining under the stars on the expansive patio, listening to the waves washing up on the shore below.
The on-site restaurant, Maracuya Beach Club, is set on the beach beside one of the resortâs two infinity pools. Offering local and North American cuisine, along with a full bar service, Maracuya has been the recipient of many awards for culinary and mixology excellence. As well as poolside dining, they offer meal delivery to your villa, weekly live music, mixology classes, and even cooking classes in right in your kitchen.
VENTURING OUT
On the days you want adventure, the area offers all the eco-tourism options Costa Rica is famous for. Experience endless fun and adrenalin â from sport fishing to ziplining, from wildlife tours to scuba diving, river cruises, coffee plantation tours, and visits to local artisan communities. Local operators offer pickup from the villa, or from the beach if you are heading out on the water. Activities and tours can be booked through the on-site concierge.
The lively village of Playas del Coco is 3 miles from the resort, offering plenty of options for groceries and local crafts, along with many wonderful restaurants and bars. Out favorites are listed in the information binder youâll find in the villa.
