Welcome to your DREAM vacation at Villa Mer et Soleil! This 6-bedroom villa feels more like a private boutique hotel than a vacation rental. Set on an estate-sized lot within the prestigious gated development of Ladera del Mar, the villa offers sweeping ocean and mountain views, a private pool, and massive hot tub, and sprawling outdoor space. Villa Mer et Soleil is the perfect backdrop for a luxurious Costa Rican getaway.
Ladera del Mar is a gated residential community that sits just before the town of Playas del Coco. Just a 35-40 minute drive from Guanacaste Airport (LIR), the home is just a 5-minute drive to amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies and shops. Just 3 minutes more and you’re at the ocean with several beachfront restaurants and a main street lined with shops, restaurants, and fruit vendors. Enjoy a walk along the beach boardwalk or stroll the beach from point to point for a 3km walk. Many scuba diving, sport fishing, and sightseeing tours depart from Coco. You’re also close to several area day trip spots – waterfalls, hiking, hot springs, and mud baths, cultural experiences, and river tours. Playas del Coco is the perfect home base for an amazing Costa Rican vacation!
