Additional Information

Costa Rica’s Natural Beauty

Villa Luma is surrounded by a pristine tropical environment, so guests may occasionally encounter local insects. These harmless visitors are part of the region’s exceptional biodiversity and the vibrant ecosystem that makes the destination unique.

From the terrace or while walking along the golf course bordering the villa, you may also spot scarlet macaws (Ara macao) with vivid red, blue, and yellow feathers. A pair nests in a large nearby tree, offering a memorable wildlife-watching opportunity.

Yoga and Meditation Space

An open-air room in the garden, surrounded by nature, can accommodate up to 10 people for yoga sessions, meditation, or wellness workshops. The space can be reserved to enhance your stay.

Natural Insect-Repellent System

The villa is equipped with a MistAway mosquito-control system. This automated, low-volume misting technology disperses an insect-control solution around outdoor areas, helping to significantly reduce mosquitoes and flying insects so guests can enjoy the exterior spaces more comfortably.
