Where is Mar del Sol located?

Playa Coyote, on the western side of the Nicoya Peninsula, in the province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Guanacaste is the country's recognised luxury beach region, and the Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world's five documented Blue Zones.

Is Mar del Sol suitable as a family retreat?

Yes. Five bedrooms (four en-suite plus a fifth TV / game room with a king-bed conversion) sleep fourteen, sixteen when the convertible room is set up as a king. Children's bunks, deep gardens, a private pool, and direct beach access make it well suited to multi-generational family stays.

How busy is the beach in front of the villa?

Playa Coyote is one of the most uncrowded beaches on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Beachfront lots here average around 2,000 m², which structurally limits how many houses can sit along the sand. Mar del Sol's parcel is 2,134 m².

Can foreigners own beachfront property in Costa Rica?

Yes. Beachfront property in Costa Rica is held under concession title, and foreign ownership is permitted. Mar del Sol is held in concession, fully transferable to a non-Costa-Rican buyer.

How does Playa Coyote compare to Santa Teresa or Tamarindo?

Beachfront parcels at Playa Coyote average around 2,000 m². Santa Teresa and Tamarindo fragmented into much smaller parcels years ago and no longer have that protection.

From Liberia (LIR), the closest international airport, the drive is around 2 hours 30 minutes. From San José (SJO), the options are a 30-minute charter flight or a 4-hour drive.

What amenities are nearby?

Supermarkets, pharmacies, and a full range of restaurants, from typical Costa Rican sodas to gourmet kitchens, are within fifteen minutes of the property.

Mar del Sol. Beachfront Family Villa, Playa Coyote, Costa Rica

The great room

One open volume. Two kitchens. A private fire patio.

The heart of the house is a single cross-ventilated room with the main kitchen, dining table, and lounge under one teak-beamed ceiling, with full-height glass on both sides. Gardens and pool on one side, lawn and Pacific on the other. A second support kitchen sits next to the main one for catering and prep. Off the great room, a walled interior patio holds a sectional sofa, a sun umbrella, and a fire bowl for the evenings.

In Costa Rica the convertible TV / game room counts as a fifth bedroom. By day it is a lounge with a wall-mounted television; by night, when the house is full, two upholstered daybeds combine to form a king with an en-suite bath.

The fifth bedroom

Television by day. King bedroom by night.

Adjacent to the great room, the fifth bedroom is a separate lounge with its own full bath. Two upholstered daybeds anchor the room; pushed together they form a king. It is how the house comfortably holds sixteen.

Playa Coyote

The most uncrowded beach you'll find on Costa Rica's Pacific.

Twenty-five kilometres of dark-gold sand, with the property at primera fila. First row, no road between the lawn and the surf. The water is shallow, clear, and full of life. Rays glide through the breakers a few metres from shore.

The approach

Teak beams throughout. A grand entrance that frames the Pacific.

A long covered corridor with a teak ceiling, slim concrete columns, lit by clerestory slots cut into the roof. The composition is borrowed from Le Corbusier's promenade architecturale: light moves you through the house and resolves at the ocean.
