At Iona Villas, we are blessed with an incredible diversity of fascinating creatures. We have howler monkeys, iguanas, kingfishers, Tiger cranes, crabs, armadillos and even anteaters stop by from time to time. The sight of a monkey family swinging through the trees on their way to a breakfast or dinner of mangos is always exciting.

Amazing Nature

Exciting Adventures

There are so many amazing adventures you can have in Costa Rica. Many of them can be experienced with a walk from our front gate. From snorkeling to horseback riding, fishing and waterfall hunting, turtle watching and so much more! We can help you organize your amazing adventure in Costa Rica whether you choose a self-tour or a guided tour with one of our partners.

The Freshest Coffee

At IONA Villas we host IONA Café. Our local Tica entrepreneur brings coffee down from our friends in the mountains of Nicoya and roasts the freshest coffee right on our property. Our guests receive this amazing coffee in their villas at no extra charge during their stay. Even better, we live in the only Blue Zone in the world that can grow coffee! Will it help you live longer? Maybe!

Besides offering world class hospitality, IONA Villas is committed to building up our community through literacy, supporting local entrepreneurs and other community development projects. One of our initiatives is Crecer Library, the only library in our region. When you stay with IONA Villas you are directly supporting these important projects and the local people we serve.

"The place is at a great location, close to the beach and town, very clean. Was good to have restaurants recommended from Ben to go to, all the ones we visited were very good.

Absolutely loved watching the monkeys, iguanas and other animals in the garden. Erika was super helpful every time we needed something, recommended this amazing market to go to on Saturday, which was fab and very nice and friendly people. We loved staying at the Casita Bonita." - Pavla
