Nestled in the vibrant heart of Samara, our near beach apartment offers the perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty. Just a four-minute walk from the glistening sands and serene waters of Samara beach, guests can fully embrace the Pura Vida lifestyle of Costa Rica when they stay with IONA Villas. The apartment is on the IONA Villas property, surrounded by a private walled garden that provides a tranquil retreat with a hammock and refreshing outdoor shower. Wake up to a delicious cup of coffee from our on-site roaster, Iona Coffee. Freshly roasted beans and a coffee maker are provided. Also included are a full kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, gas stove and full sink. Centrally located, Iona Villas and the Pura Vida apartment are just a short walk from the center of Samara with restaurants, supermarkets and activities just a few minutes away. While the apartment’s proximity to the main road is super convenient, there can be ambient road noise that may not make it the ideal choice for those seeking complete silence. While outside of the city center, it is not the countryside. This beach apartment is perfect for travelers who appreciate the ease of access to local amenities and the beach, while also enjoying the beauty of nature right at their doorstep. Guests have access to our cafe rancho and the natural tidal river that flows at the back of our property. We hope you’ll come and experience the energetic vibes of our Pura Vida Beach Life apartment at IONA Villas. See you soon!
