The perfect oasis in
Playa Avellanas, Costa Rica
Why choose Vida Verde Eco-Guesthouse?
1
Private & tucked away
At Vida Verde Eco-Guesthouse, we don't operate as a typical hotel. It is only two cabins and the owners' house. Enjoy privacy and personalized service in our haven of tranquility nestled in the jungle at a 20-minute stroll from the stunning Playa Avellanas.

Refreshing pool
If you've spent a long day in the hot weather of Costa Rica exploring the area, there's nothing better than taking a refreshing dip in a saltwater pool and sipping on a cocktail while admiring the monkeys and birds in the nearby jungle.

Food destination
Find inspiration in the beauty of nature around you and prepare your meals in the fully equipped kitchen, saving money on dining out. Alternatively, you can opt for Joelle, your host, to prepare delicious breakfasts, snacks, and dinners for you.
