Playa Avellanas: A Costa Rican Gem

Avellanas, Costa Rica, nestled in the country’s Blue Zone, is home to Pazifico Villas, stunning views and perhaps the best surf spot in Costa Rica. Playa Avellanas, unlike many other beach destinations in Costa Rica, is a culturally diverse community where guests can experience an authentic Costa Rican experience. At Pazifico Villas, our fully equipped and tastefully decorated vacation rentals offer guests a luxurious place to stay while discovering all that Playa Avellanas has to offer.

Our tropical villas place you in the heart of Avellanas’s charming beach town, with a scenic 5-8 minute walk to the beach. Situated next door to Las Olas Hotel, guests can access the Avellanas beach by walking through the hotel and crossing the live mangrove via boardwalk. This mangrove, as well as our rental property, are home to breathtaking diverse wildlife. JW Marriott Guanacaste and the Hacienda Pinilla golf course are only a 10 minute drive away, offering premium dining and entertainment options.

Our vacation homes deliver the highest level of comfort in the area, separated by extensive landscaping that creates a unique and relaxing private experience. Looking to plan your dream Costa Rica family vacation? Playa Avellanas is your go-to destination. Between the stunning beach, blue ocean and on-site pool, entertainment for children is endless. La Esquina is a local outdoor market offering several activities for children. For couples seeking the ultimate Costa Rica romantic getaway, our private villas paired with Avellanas’s Pacific coast white sand beaches, abundant entertainment and show-stopping sunsets is your answer.

A short walk to Lola's and Cabinas Las Olas for beach access.  Fun fact : Your host David is a top notch guitar player. The pool is great after a day at the beach.   I'll be back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m from Switzerland and had an amazing stay at Pazifico Villas in Playa Avellanas! The Canopy Villa was spotless, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful nature — a perfect place to relax and unwind. The location is great, right in the heart of the community and just a short walk to the beach, Lola’s, and Cabinas Las Olas.

Dave, the owner, is super helpful and speaks French fluently (and has lived in the French part of Switzerland!) which made communication very easy. He’s also a talented guitar player! The pool was perfect after a day at the beach, and the property felt very safe and secure.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and convenient place to stay in Avellanas, I can’t recommend Pazifico Villas enough. I’ll definitely be back! 🌴🇨🇭

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing location and a great spot to vacation. We are a family of 4 ( two teens ) and stayed in the two bedroom bungalow. The pool is in such a great spot that it always has sun which amazed us every day even though it was rainy season.  David, who owns and operates the place takes great care and pride and gave us helpful tips, spots to eat at and places to visit. When we got there, we had cold beers, water and ice along with milk, coffee and everything you’d need. It was such a nice touch and the best part is that he’s easily accessible.
Restaurants and the beach are walking distance. We loved it here and we will be back !!!
