About this villa rental
Villa Akoya (meaning “pearl” in Japanese) is a unique beachfront luxury rental gem.
The villa is designed by renowned Costa Rican architect, Benjamin Garcia Saxe, and built by Gad Harel, the top custom homebuilder in Santa Teresa; it is decorated by Sofia Interiorismo. Villa Akoya mixes elements of tropical architecture and contemporary finishes with an ultra-luxury design.
At Villa Akoya, you will enjoy the best of privacy and luxury nestled amid nature with the comfort of knowing that all of the amenities, activities and excitement of Santa Teresa are right in your backyard.
This brand new, three-bedroom luxury villa is centrally located on the world-famous white sand beach of Santa Teresa. Surrounded by nature, with coconut palms framing your view of the bright blue Pacific Ocean, this is the ultimate Santa Teresa vacation rental for relaxing and enjoying tropical paradise.
Three spacious and stylish bedrooms each have en-suite bathrooms, big picture windows, and are outfitted with high-quality bedding and bath linens. All bedrooms have king beds. The villa comfortably accommodates up to eight persons.
An open concept kitchen and living area features high-end appliances, four bar stools at a large countertop island, and a dining table with seating for eight persons. The raised ceiling provides abundant natural light. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors that allow for seamless indoor-outdoor tropical living lead out to a wide terrace next to a sparkling and refreshing pool directly in front of the beach. This is the perfect spot to enjoy Santa Teresa’s magical sunsets. A low bamboo fence keeps the property private yet does not interrupt the stunning ocean and beach panoramas.
Comfortable and luxurious, the villa is fully-equipped and complete with beautiful amenities. There is 100MB Wi-Fi throughout, and a TV in the master bedroom. Air-conditioning and ceiling fans keep you cool on the hottest beach days.

In our humble opinions, we think we stayed in the best beachfront house in Santa Teresa! Villa Akoya is so beautiful, perfectly located on the beach - with easy access to surfing, beach bars and restaurants, and to town amenities. We spent a lot of time in the pool even in the rain - which happened a bunch of times since it was June. The interior stayed nice and cool and dry and was well equipped with whatever we needed. The daily cleaning service was very convenient- fresh towels! And the security guy was so very nice and kept us feeling secure. Though I felt very safe in Santa Teresa anyway. Our concierge, Milena, was the best - she set us up with taxis, our buggy at a low cost, ideas for activities and restaurants, and was immediately responsive to all our needs/questions. Thank you Milena!
We can’t wait to return (maybe in the drier season…haha).

We stayed as a family of four plus the grandparents and we had a wonderful time! We spent most of our time at the pool listening to the ocean right in front. Perfect spot to enjoy the beaches of Playa Carmen and Santa Teresa.

What a beautiful zen vibe. Welcomed by Heli! Great communication and excellent response to questions. She was helpful with suggestions around the area. She set us up with Caesar for surf lessons and amazing fun day zip line and ATV with Ronny! Thank you Alex to come let us back in after we locked ourselves out. Beautiful home and great location. We will return thanks

Even better than the photos!
Akoya Villa was absolute perfection in paradise! The daily housekeeping, groundskeeping and security allowed for complete relaxation. This property is near the public beach access but we never worried about anything. Nir was an incredibly attentive and communicative property manager, catering to our every need. We were traveling with our 6 month old grandson and Nir made sure everything was perfect, from getting us a crib to lending us his very own high chair to use. Villa Akoya is so close to town where there are some of the best restaurants around. We also walked on the beach to several yummy restaurants!
They have access to all the activities you can possibly think of. We even hired a chef one night and he cooked an absolute delicious Argentinian birthday dinner for my husband. Nir even brought over a birthday cake for him. So very thoughtful and special. We had such a relaxing stay and look forward to returning. Oh also, it's pure bliss falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves! Pure Vida!

Perfection and luxury on Santa Teresa beachfront
Perfection in paradise! Beautiful architecture, modern open design with amazing outdoor pool and deck spaces on the sand overlooking the legendary surf of Santa Teresa. Lee and Nir were great hosts! Attention to details make for a luxury experience. Daily housekeeping, groundskeeping and security allows for complete relaxation, in close proximity to all of the community retail and restaurant amenities.
Thank you For an amazing stay! We’ll be back!
Pura Vida,
Pierre

Amazing beach property
From check in to check out we’ve had a great experience! The house is absolutely gorgeous and on the perfect location, the house was very clean and we were so surprised by the great service provided. We had a cleaner every day, and anything we needed was just a message away from being done. Excellent service! Thank you Lee! Definitely recommend staying here!

First off, let me say Lee the property manager was WONDERFUL! She was so helpful with organizing transportation, massages, mule rentals, dinner reservations, private chef & any issues that arose while we were there. She was very quick to respond and help. The house is fine, I would not consult luxurious and it is next to a campsite. Right off the bat that is an issue. The campers were dirty, loud and rude. The house needs maintenance, the large sliding door is warped and requires 2 strong people to lock properly, the showers dot function right, sinks don’t drain etc. The bathrooms are open air allowing bugs and heat in (the master & adjacent shower has a piece that was been whittled away seemingly like a peep hole). We thought per online reviews we were getting something very different. Santa Teresa might have been sleepy beach town in years past but is not any longer. Traffic on the 1 dirt road is jammed. Sometimes it tools 30+ minutes to get just down the street.

Outstanding property
We enjoyed Santa Teresa very much, and I believe we stayed in the most awesome house in town. It doesn’t get better than this! You have to be informed about a few things: there will be a housekeeper on the property every day, and a guard outside every night. Guests cannot use the washer and dryer, the housekeeper will do laundry for you. Great managers, very helpful and responsive. Enjoy Vila Akoya!!

Santa Teresa Paradise
The property itself is incredible! The house is right on the beach and offers everything you need to enjoy a relaxing and fun time. Greeted with tons of fresh fruit from the hosts and had a daily cleaning n laundry which was great! You can walk to endless bars, restaurants and little shops and having security each night was great. Very safe area but home being right on beach is reason for nightly guard.
Only challenges with being on the beach is the bugs that get into the home which wasn’t ideal, and it can get noisy at night with beach goers.
Overall though it’s an incredible property with tons to do and again the location is spectacular

Amazing property
You can't have a better location than this home. Right on the beach with every modern amenity needed. The sunsets are spectacular right from the back deck. The pool was a perfect temperature and the beach has white sand with waves you can stay in all day. Walk to restaurants and grocery. Cleaning person each day and a guard all night. Nir and Lee were fantastic. They were responsive to every text within minutes. They made our vacation simple and streamlined with assistance in booking everything from taxi rides to restaurant reservations. It doesn't get much better.

This home was perfect for our stay. Nir and Lee are amazing hosts
We could not believe how beautiful and practical this home was. It is right on the beach and right next door to a great restaurant called Manzu which is also on the beach. You will not want to leave the house because everything is there and when you do Nir and Lee will help you with whatever activities you like. We went surfing, ATVing, zip lining, hiking, swimming in rivers with waterfalls and horse back riding on the beach and in the mountain. We will deffenetely be back.

Weekend at Akoya Village
Great beachfront house! Me and my family had a lovely weekend at Santa Teresa. The host was so nice, we were welcomed with fresh fruits and some drinks. Later on, he gave us a delicious bread. Very nice guy who was always readily available through texts to help us out, give us recommendations and check if we needed any help. The maid who cleaned the place daily was also very nice. We recommend Akoya village! We will definitely return

Great location! The house had everything we needed. Concierge super helpful, answered all our questions! Lovely housekeeper came everyday. There is a guard outside at night so you sleep peacefully. Although we never for one moment felt unsafe in this little bit of paradise.

Villa Akoya is an amazing place!!
My family of 5 stayed in the Villa Akoya for a week. It was everything its described and more. My husband desperately needed a get away from work to surf and relax and this did just the trick. Is beautifully decorated and the property managers Judit, Carlato and Nir were nothing short of magical. The few times we had a problem or a question, they responded with a solution or suggestion immediately!! We will absolutely be staying here again if we are lucky to get back to the area.

Perfect!
Our family of 5 enjoyed a fantastic week at Villa Akoya in late March. We loved everything about it! The house is gorgeous and the views are amazing. Everything is well-appointed. We loved the location "front row" on the beach from watching the first sunlight illuminate the waves each morning to watching the sunset from the porch. There are many beachfront restaurants you can walk to for breakfast, lunch or dinner (just bring a flashlight to avoid hermit crabs!). The grocery store is also a quick walk as are cute shops and boutiques. The housekeeping was above and beyond expectation and Judit, the property manager, was always available to help with any question and arrange sightseeing. I enthusiastically recommend this property! We can't wait to return!

Amazing Family Stay
From the moment we got connected with our host Judit (who communicated perfectly) to the moment we stepped into the house...the stay was absolutely world class. Fresh fruit cut and preprared, some light groceries (without request), the design of the house is fantastic and amazingly liveable...the location is epic right on the beach ready for sunset every night and a surf check every morning. We couldn’t have been happier.
We are a family of 6 (4 boys ages 12-3) and we are for sure coming back....thanks to Judit and Jesslyn who kept our stay clean and clothing washed....cheers guys.

This is Paradise
Wow, we had such an amazing experience at Villa Akoya! This place was off the charts! I really had my expectations blown away! Firstly, the place is brand new, second, the design is amazing, and last but not least, the view is stunning. You can tell that the owners really spared no expense on luxury styling and creature comforts. We would enjoy evening dinners with the sliding doors open and enjoyed the relaxing sounds and fresh ocean air. The house had plenty of room for the 7 of us. The beach felt like a tropical oasis. We could not have been happier. The only bad part of the trip was leaving to go home : ( We will definitely have to make Santa Teresa and Villa Akoya a family tradition. With luck, maybe we'll be back next year!
