Whales view, beach house on Cliff Villamarunga

Luxurious, dream-like and one-of-a-kind enclave on the Nicoya peninsula with spectacular ocean views inside of the Tango Mar Resort. Its location stands out due to its existence being one of the few houses in Costa Rica that resides on a cliff near the ocean. The view from the house allows you to enjoy Quetzal Beach and the entire Nicoya peninsula. During certain seasons, whales and turtles can be seen as well as luminescent shorelines.

It’s an exclusive and newly remodeled living space, which offers a comfortable design and excellent usage of all of its services.

The villa has two floors, five bedrooms and five bath-rooms, four of them en suite. There are also several living spaces of luminous and intimate design distributed throughout the house. Your trip will be a unique experience!

On the first floor, the living room will become the perfect area to enjoy unforgettable moments with family and friends while simultaneously taking in the spectacular ocean views, thanks to the wide windows that can be fully opened to allow the ocean breeze to come in.
Connected to the living room, you’ll find a fully-furnished, large porch area that will allow you to feel connected with the sea and the nature that surrounds it.

There are also two bedrooms and two bathrooms with amazing garden views of the property. A large fully-equipped kitchen that comes with views of the ocean will make the delicacies of the cooks even more flawless.

The dining area is extremely bright and is the perfect area to enjoy the sea food of the areas neighboring the property with company and excellent views.

The second floor comes with three luminous rooms, all with their own en suite bathroom. They are all connected to a large terrace area in which you can enjoy one of the most privileged sights of Costa Rica.

The villa comes with a beautiful garden, swimming pool, hammocks, and chill-out zone with an incorporated barbeque directly facing the sea.

The beach is just five minutes away from the house. A nice walk going over a hanging-bridge surrounded by nature.

The Wi-Fi and cable television come included, as well as many amenities and activities that will make your stay enjoyable and unforgettable.

It’s absolutely sure that Villa Marunga is the ideal place to rest, enjoy, and share. Excellence is what we strive for.

Villamarunga equals paradise
We stayed with two other couples and couldn’t have enjoyed the property more! The cliff views and ocean views from the pools were amazing. You can lay in bed and look at the ocean from the three ocean facing rooms on the second floor. We really didn’t want to leave the property! Exploring from there was easy though. We had access to the restaurant and spa at the resort across the rope bridge. Supermarket was about 20mins from the property and had most anything you needed. We had very attentive service from Jenny, sharing local food with us and helping with our Spanish not to mention all of the things she normally does!! The grounds and pool were kept up nicely. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. It was quite the drive from the Liberia Airport but it had amazing views and we got to explore so much of the country! I would definitely recommend this property.

I didn't want to leave!
OMG, what a perfect place with an unbelievably nice and helpful property manager, Jimena. The home was perfect for a family trip with a couple and three teens! We had extra room for more guests! The view from the master suite off of the deck were literally unreal. I pinched myself every morning and evening. Everything you needed was on the property and if there was a question or recommendation, Jimena was quick to respond. Every rec was spot on. My favorite was our snorkeling and trip to Isla Tortuga. She hooked us up with an amazing local man named Chema. I highly recommend this home and am really hoping to make it back. SOON!!

Wonderful vacation and unbelievable chef!
Our group of 2 families of 4 stayed here last week. The property is beautiful and well organized for a large family or large group. Everything is designed to amplify the beautiful ocean view. The air conditioning makes the rooms nice and cool to sleep and the beach is just a pretty 5 minute walk away with additional amenities available at the Tango Mar resort associated with the property. BUT for us the best part was the staff and chef. Leo is the property manager and after reading other reviews about hiring a cook, we asked Leo to arrange a cook for most of our meals for the week. Heling was amazing! The food was delicious - everything from fish, shrimp, beef tenderloin to lasagna. The cooking and shopping was done and we could enjoy our vacation. Thank you all for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful location and property; Jeny is awesome
We were very pleased with our stay at Villa Marunga. The home and property are beautiful, and Costa Rica is a great place to visit. Having Jeny there to make breakfast for us was amazing. She did an excellent job of creating a wonderful breakfast with whatever we had available, and she is a lovely person. Communication with the management was great, and they provided nice recommendations for things to do and places to eat. A couple notes about the property: - the wifi was very spotty; I mention this only in case you need to do any sort of work or other projects that require good, consistent internet. That being said, we were able to consistently get decent 4LTE cell service in the upstairs bedroom that is to the left if facing the house from the front (first bedroom to right at top of spiral stairs), and it was sufficient to support FaceTime and Teams-type calls - the road into the house is about a mile long and is not paved, so it is pretty rough in spots; I only mention this to ensure you have a vehicle that can handle it (does not need to be 4-wheel drive though) Overall, it is a great place to stay and a place we will definitely revisit if coming to this part of CR again.

Beautiful stay in an amazing property
This is one heck of a property. The view from the cliff is utterly astounding and I found myself awake every morning at 545 am to see the sunrise and we could also watch the sunset from the lookout. The pool temp was perfect since it is HOT. The grounds were well kept. Being able to walk 5 minutes to the Tango Mar hotel for dinner or out onto a pristine beach with tide pools and fun wave jumping with the kids was amazing. There were Macaws that hung out in the tree above us in the pool and we were close enough to do bioluminescence bay and Curu refuge where we saw Capuchins. There were very few drawbacks to this property. The helper person is there to clean in the morning but does not prepare breakfast which was a misinterpretation we had of other reviews. They offer a chef, but you have to provide the food, which makes it not so enticing. Also, they tack on a fee/per/person after 4 people which I found annoying, but did not deter us from staying at the property. Overall, we had an amazing time!

Breathtaking Views and Amazing Accommodations
This house sets the bar for all other vacations from now on. From the howler monkeys right outside our door, to the gorgeous pool and amazing ocean views, it just can't be beat. The owners were super easy to work with, and Jenny and Leo were onsite to make things perfect.

Nothing Short of Amazing!
We will probably never stay commercial again. This is a beautiful house that overlooks the ocean. It is off the beaten path for sure, but well worth it. We missed the first ferry so had to wait a bit, but trust me it's worth it. We were greeted by Leo, who called and ordered pizza for us and then showed us the house. It was the best night sleep I have ever had! The next morning Jenny was there and made us an authentic Costa Rican breakfast. I didn't touch a dish and with nine of us this is just what I needed. She cleaned daily and was so friendly. Leo set up all our events with friendly, honest people. We did Tortuga Island and lunch. We also went on two ATV excursions. One to the waterfalls. It was fun for all of us 17 to 47. Jimenea, the owner, set up Covid tests ( needed to re-enter the US) at the house. Prior to and during the stay she and Leo instantly answered in WhatsApp. Looking to go to Costa Rica? You won't beat this experience! People on the plane back were talking about their hotel stays, which they thought were great, but we all felt sorry for them!

Beautiful Escape
We came to Villamarunga with 2 other couples. Our first time to visit Costa Rica. The house itself is wonderful and so relaxing and the views are so incredible!! We had such an incredible week! Javier and Jimena were excellent hosts and offered so much information and helped with all questions we had. They were a joy to work with. Jeny was a wonderful bonus as she fixed a delicious breakfast daily and kept the house tidy. It truly was a beautiful escape and refreshing time away!
