Activities at the Villa:
You never have to leave the Villa to find plenty to do and you don’t have to go far to find even more ~
Surfing - The above photo is a picture of the ocean waves on Jaco beach. Surfing is popular, so bring your board, rent one or learn from a professional the art of surfing.
Horseback – Horseback rides are offered directly at your Villa beach gate. 1 hour beach rides are $25 or 2 hour mountain rides are $30 per person.
Beach Strolling - You have 2.5 miles of beach within a few steps of the Villa to stroll, jog or simply admire. Visit Monkey Island - Walk north on the beach, cross over a river during lowtide (being careful to get back before the high tide) and you will find yourself on an uninhabited, undeveloped island that locals call “Monkey Island” because of all the monkeys you see. Locals go to the rocks to fish for lobsters.
