Villa Serena
Property highlights
Overview
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.

We celebrated a milestone birthday here with friends, and it was perfect. The communal spaces are ideal for gathering, and the bedrooms offer peaceful retreats. The hike to the waterfall on the property was a highlight, so refreshing! The home is beautifully appointed and feels both luxurious and grounded in its environment. The booking and check-in process was seamless. A truly magical week we won't forget.

From the moment we arrived, we were in awe. The architecture blends seamlessly with the environment. The sounds of the rainforest at night, the cool dip in the pool, the outdoor showers... it was a sensory delight. The kitchen was well-equipped for our big family meals. The terraces became our living room for the week. An unforgettable experience that redefined luxury for us, it's about connection, not just opulence.

Perfect for our large group. The layout is genius, everyone had space and privacy. The infinity pool is the star of the show. The management team was incredibly responsive. We can't wait to return.

We had a fantastic family holiday here. The kids loved the pool and the wildlife spotting. The space was perfect for our three families. The only very small critique was that a couple of the outdoor lounge cushions could use replacing. It didn't detract from a wonderful stay.

A stunning home in a breathtaking setting. Everything was as described, if not better. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, each with a fantastic view. The location offers great privacy but is still convenient for trips to the beach or town.
