Villa Medusa – Santa Teresa
5 Bedrooms — 10 Guests
A modern, tropical villa with an infinity pool and direct beach access
Tucked away in the ultra-exclusive northern stretch of Santa Teresa, on the sun-drenched shores of Playa Hermosa, Villa Medusa offers an unparalleled blend of modern architectural elegance and authentic Costa Rican barefoot luxury. Framed by lush, emerald rainforest canopy, this five-bedroom effortlessly accommodates small groups, families, or retreat guests with complete privacy and effortless style.
Designed with an open-air philosophy, the villa seamlessly blurs the line between high-end interior design and the tropical outdoors. The focal point of the outdoor space is the sparkling infinity pool, seemingly spilling into the garden beyond. Mere steps away is the golden sand of Playa Hermosa, separated by swaying palms and tropical foliage for privacy.
The poolside terrace offers plenty of space for relaxation with sun loungers, day beds and a sun-drenched dining area. The terrace extends around the side of the property, where a shaded outdoor lounge seamlessly adjoins the indoor living spaces.
Set across two floors, the villa features mid-century-inspired architecture and relaxed, tropical interiors. The heart of the home is its spacious, open-plan living area. Here, retractable glass doors along three walls invite natural light while allowing fresh ocean breezes to flow through. A cosy lounge area and wooden dining table offer plenty of space for socialising with loved ones. The adjoining chef’s kitchen is equipped with modern, high-end appliances, perfect for preparing everything from a morning coffee to a delicious evening feast.
Five well-appointed, en-suite bedrooms sleep up to 12 guests in comfort and style. The first floor is home to the spacious master bedroom, which boasts a king-size bed, a large en-suite with a freestanding bathtub and outdoor shower, and a private balcony. This floor also features a second king-size room and a twin room with a shared balcony. On the ground floor, an additional king-size room and a twin room open onto the terrace or garden.
Within the estate, guests have access to a large yoga shala elevated among the trees. This dedicated wellness space is perfect for morning movement, private meditation sessions, or relaxing sound healing.
Whether spending mornings catching waves on Playa Hermosa, enjoying a poolside massage, or watching a sunset with a cocktail in hand, Villa Medusa delivers a quintessential luxury villa experience in beautiful Santa Teresa.

About the area
Villa Medusa is part of the Rayo Verde estate Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula. It is an idyllic destination that enjoys consistently warm temperatures, even during the green season.
The villa lies just steps from the sands of Playa Hermosa, known for its consistent surf breaks, warm tide pools, and spectacular Pacific sunsets. Here, guests can learn to surf, snorkel in the calmer waters, or simply relax in the warm, shallow waters.
Santa Teresa offers a wide range of land adventures, including soaring through the rainforest on the Montezuma Waterfalls Canopy Tour and exploring the beaches and wildlife of Cabo Blanco Reserve. Visitors can spot monkeys, sloths, and birds at Curú National Wildlife Refuge, experience bioluminescent plankton, hike to hidden waterfalls, and kayak through secluded waterways.
