Guest Access:
You’ll enjoy exclusive access to the entire villa and its amenities, ensuring a private and comfortable stay. This includes the outdoor spaces, such as the infinity pool, yoga space, and patio for a complete and personalized experience.

The Neighborhood:
You'll be staying in Playa Hermosa, only minutes from the heart of Santa Teresa. Nestled amongst the trees of the jungle, an area renowned for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. Only a short distance away are popular attractions such as Playa Hermosa Beach and local tide pools. With local restaurants and shops nearby, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore and enjoy all the beautiful region has to offer.

Getting Around:
Most people in Santa Teresa get around by car, motorbike, or ATV. Only if you are comfortable there are many places to rent an ATV along the main road in town, which is great for the dry season, otherwise, we recommend you rent a car or use the local taxi services.

For outdoor enthusiasts, hiking can be a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty of the area. Regardless of how you choose to get around, we're confident you'll enjoy exploring the natural beauty and attractions of the area at your own pace.
