Do the villas have direct beach access?+

What activities are available near the villas?+

There's plenty to do! Surfing at Playa Junquillal and nearby Playa Negra, turtle watching (seasonal), kayaking in nearby mangroves, zip lining, horseback riding on the beach, snorkeling, sport fishing, yoga sessions, and visits to local wildlife reserves. Our concierge can help arrange any activity.

Is Playa Junquillal suitable for families with children?+

Yes! Playa Junquillal is a quiet, safe beach with no strong currents in most areas. The villas offer spacious grounds for children to play, private pools (not fenced, so parental supervision is required), and various family-friendly activities nearby. Note that beach access involves some steps.

Do you offer yoga retreat packages?+

Yes, we have a dedicated yoga space and can accommodate yoga retreat groups. With beachfront setting, private pools, healthy chef-prepared meals, and a tranquil atmosphere, Odisea Retreats is perfect for wellness and yoga retreats. Contact us for custom retreat packages.

What is included in the rental?+

Your stay includes the villa with all bedrooms and common areas, private pool, WiFi, air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, daily housekeeping, beach towels, parking, and access to the beach. Additional services like private chef, airport transfers, and activity bookings are available at extra cost.

Do I need a car to get around?+

While the villas are self-contained with beach access, we recommend renting a 4x4 vehicle to explore the area. The nearest grocery store (Super Junquillal) is a 5-minute drive, and Tamarindo is about 40 minutes away. We can help arrange car rentals or private drivers.
