Private Colonial Villa | Plunge Pool & Trails

Summary:
Step into Casa Maya's colonial courtyard where a private plunge pool sets the scene for your Costa Rican escape. Five en-suite bedrooms, mountain views, and hiking trails meet a European-style village with a short walk to beach access. Perfect for groups wanting both privacy and togetherness: separate apartments plus a spacious main house. Your concierge handles everything from surf lessons to private chefs. Ready to explore paradise?

The Space:
WELCOME TO CASA MAYA
Your Costa Rican story begins in a colonial courtyard where water cascades into a private plunge pool. This is Las Catalinas: a village that feels like coastal Europe dropped into the tropics, complete with restaurants, coffee shops, and beach clubs.

THE MAIN HOUSE
Pocket doors fold away to reveal an open living space designed for groups who actually want to spend time together. The kitchen isn't just for show: granite breakfast bar for six, modern appliances, everything you need to recreate that ceviche from lunch. Smart TV loads your streaming accounts for movie nights. Dining table sits everyone comfortably.

Three upstairs bedrooms, three en-suite bathrooms. The master gets the king bed. Second bedroom has a queen. Third bedroom fits families: full-size bunk beds with a pull-out trundle beneath.

THE PRIVATE APARTMENTS
Two studio apartments downstairs with separate entrances and kitchenett. One has a king bed, the other a queen: both with en-suite bathrooms and their own laundry. Perfect for couples wanting privacy or teens wanting independence.

SLEEP DETAILS
- Bedroom 1 (Master): King bed, en-suite bath
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed, en-suite bath
- Bedroom 3: 3 full beds (bunk + trundle), en-suite bath
- Studio 4: King bed and 1 double bed in living area, kitchenette, en-suite bath
- Studio 5: Queen bed, kitchenette, en-suite bath

All rooms have AC, luxury linens, and proper towels.

WHAT MAKES THIS SPECIAL
Your complimentary concierge arranges everything: rental cars, private drivers, catamaran trips, surf lessons, zip-lining, ATV adventures, in-villa massages, private chef dinners. They're bilingual!

Two parking passes included. WiFi that actually works. Hiking trails start at the property. Beach, mini grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, spa, all walkable within Las Catalinas.

WHO THIS FITS
Groups of friends who want separate sleeping spaces but shared hangout areas. Multi-family trips where everyone gets their own bathroom. The courtyard layout means bedrooms aren't stacked on top of each other, people can sleep while others stay up.

YOUR STAY
Las Catalinas isn't just a rental location: it's an actual community that works. Walk to dinner. Grab morning coffee. Hit the beach. Come back to your plunge pool. Repeat.

Guest Access:
Whether you prefer a personal greeting or a self-check-in, we've got you covered. Our goal is to make your stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible, so choose whichever option suits you best. Even if you choose self-check-in, we are still a call or text away to help you with anything you may need. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

The Neighborhood:
Las Catalinas community provides 24-hour gated security with on-site guards and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby beaches. It´s car-free designed for walking and biking. Explore charming plazas, dine at seaside restaurants, and enjoy pristine beaches like Playa Danta and Playa Dantita. With over 35 km of trails, it's a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The town's commitment to sustainability and community makes it a unique destination for relaxation and adventure. Conveniently located nearby are restaurants, grocery stores, and medical services. The area offers a variety of activities, including surfing, fishing, golf, boating, rafting, scuba diving, sailing, zip-line canopy tours, casinos, and swimming.

Getting Around:
Nearest Airport: Liberia International Airport (LIR) – approximately 47 miles (75.6 km) southwest of Las Catalinas.
Driving Time: Typically 1 to 1.5 hours, though travel time can vary based on traffic conditions.

Onsite Parking: The villa offers two dedicated parking spaces for your convenience.

Public Transportation: While Las Catalinas is a car-free town, public buses are available from nearby areas. For instance, the Santa Cruz - Playa Flamingo bus line has stops near Las Catalinas, with services operating multiple times daily.

Other Things to Note:
The access road is under construction right now. Plan extra travel time getting here. Once you arrive, though, everything you need is within the village, you won't need to leave.
Guests with young kids should know: two apartments require walking through the open courtyard to reach them. Works great for older kids and adults, less ideal for toddlers you're tracking at night.

Beyond our expectations

Now our new favorite place. We enjoyed so much the condo. We would have prefer a bigger pool but with the ocean so close it wasn’t needed. Every single detail on the house was well done. We wlll be back!
