Set within the 75-acre Achiote Private Reserve, Villa Mayana is a tropical paradise. Surrounded by lush rainforest and boasting stunning ocean views, the luxury property offers privacy and tranquillity, yet it is a short drive to the nearest beach and a short drive into the nearby towns of Dominical and Uvita.
The palatial entrance to the property features white sandstone columns and covered walkways floating over an eye-catching 2000-square-foot reflecting pool, made from black volcanic stone.
Heading around the back of the property, guests are drawn in not only by the spectacular views but also the luxurious 3000-square-foot infinity swimming pool, lined with hand-cut Javanese stone tiles. Beneath the pool area is a natural fire pit, where guests can relax under the stars.
Vast terraces stretch across both levels of the villa, offering various outdoor living and dining spaces, including a spectacular outdoor dining table made from the trunk of a local Guanacaste tree. Poolside, there is an expansive lounge area, as well as an outdoor kitchen with barbecue, a dining area, and a table tennis set.
Within the grounds, guests can wander through the orchards, or take the hiking trail to a nearby waterfall.
Designed by world-renowned architect Enrique Barascout, the interior of the luxury villa uses natural and sustainable materials in its construction and furnishings, including solar panels for natural energy and sustainably-sourced bamboo for furniture. From marble floors and 30-foot high thatched ceilings, to a mix of locally-made and Balinese furnishings, the interiors harmoniously reflect villa’s lush, tropical surroundings.
From any room in the spacious villa, guests can take in 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and lush rainforest. For relaxed evenings in, plush sofas surround a large, flat screen TV with a home entertainment system. The open-plan living area also includes a fully-equipped kitchen with an island and breakfast bar, which leads out to the main terrace.
Sleeping up to 12 adults and four children in total, the six bedrooms are divided into an east and west wing. Each wing features two master suites connected by a smaller bedroom, which can also be used as a sitting room. All suites have spacious en-suite bathrooms with double sinks and indoor and outdoor showers, as well as wrap-around balconies.
With its private setting, excellent facilities and breath-taking views, Villa Mayana is the ideal choice for a luxury getaway or special celebration with loved ones.
A truly exceptional villa. The design, the views, the privacy, all top-notch. We loved exploring the trails and the waterfall. A memorable trip for all.
This is a world-class rental. The experience of living perched in the rainforest with panoramic ocean views is unforgettable. The property is meticulously maintained. Our only very minor note, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was that the Wi-Fi in one of the far bedrooms was a bit spotty, which was a small issue for one person in our group who had to work remotely for a day. It didn't detract from the overall phenomenal experience, but is worth noting for digital nomads.
This property is a masterpiece. Every morning felt like a dream, watching the mist rise over the jungle canopy from the infinity edge of the pool. The integration of indoor and outdoor living is flawless. We cooked amazing meals in the outdoor kitchen and enjoyed them at the long dining table under the stars. The six en-suite bedrooms provided luxury and privacy for all our guests. It's a place that recharges your soul.
Incredible week at this luxury rainforest retreat. The blend of wild nature and modern comfort is perfect. The kids are already asking when we can go back.
An incredible find. The photos don't do justice to the sheer scale and beauty of the place. We felt like we had our own slice of paradise.
