Mal País · Nicoya Peninsula · Costa Rica
A private collection of architecturally striking villas perched above the Pacific—designed for those who travel with intention.
These villas were born from a belief that the finest luxury is invisible—felt, not announced. High above the coastline, where the Pacific wind carries the scent of jungle blooms and each sunset writes itself across the sky.
Every detail has been considered. Every material chosen. Whether you've come for deep rest, celebration, creative work, or simply to be somewhere that makes you feel alive—Mal Pais Vistas Collection exists for that purpose.

"Truly a one of a kind home with jaw dropping views and all the comforts of home in an amazing location. Karen was extremely nice and accommodating as we arrived very late on a weekend and she was there to meet us and show us around. The home is soooooo private and a real paradise. We will be back and would highly recommend the home to everyone."
"I don't know where to begin! Karen was the most incredible host. She scheduled our private dinners, our surf lessons, our car to and from the airport and so much more. It was a resort type of experience but with extreme privacy. 10 out of 10 experience. Mal Pais has a piece of my heart."
"Karen was an exceptional host who made our stay truly memorable! Her attention to detail ensured everything was impeccably organized and spotlessly clean. She went above and beyond with thoughtful welcome gifts, including fresh fruit, coffee, and wine."
"The stay was beyond our expectations — Tranquility at its finest. The best place to stay if you're looking to refresh, refocus and ground yourself with Mother Nature. Excellent for honeymoon stays. Will return again and recommend to friends and family."
"The views are out of this world. This is in my top three in the world. The house was perfect for my partner and I. Karen is extremely helpful. The wildlife we saw was incredible. One morning we had monkeys yelling and throwing things at raccoons. It was National Geographic quality. We will be back."
"We enjoyed everything about our stay! The place is as pictured and described, but better! It was very private and peaceful, yet close to the beach and town. Karen was so incredibly helpful and kind. Highly recommend!"
"There are not enough positive words to express how wonderful this stay is. The views, the town, the host! I promise you will not be disappointed with your stay here. Karen was all kinds of lovely and helpful. She truly helped make the stay perfect."
"An absolutely stunning property, and Karen was an incredible host! Everything was clean, thoughtfully prepared, and the communication was excellent. Karen helped me feel right at home and assisted with local recommendations. Highly recommend!"
