Villa Pura Vida: Enjoy life!

Wood-fired hot tub in the garden, sauna with relaxation area in the houseboat, beautiful 12-person sloop in the boathouse and 2 canoes ready for departure. (optional) To enjoy !
Villa Pura Vida is a thatched 10 pers. villa, built by ourselves in 2004. It is really a lovely house and we have lived in it with great pleasure for 16 years. Thanks to good friends we were able to add some nice extras (such as hot tub and sauna, which you can book as extras) and this is how villa pura vida was created ...
