Hola, I'm Kyna from California. After traveling to over sixty countries, I landed in Costa Rica and opened Villa Ave del Paraíso with the goal of blending the comforts and cleanliness of a luxury accommodation with the social and communal living experience I loved from my time backpacking. My aim is to share with other travellers the natural beauty and slower, happier lifestyle that drew me to this region of the world.

Villa Ave del Paraíso is an intimate seven-bedroom bed & breakfast nestled just a leisurely three-minute stroll from the sun-kissed shores and surfing haven of Playa Avellanas. Our guest rooms are arranged in a U-shape surrounding our tranquil outdoor pool, complemented by inviting wooden lounge chairs and swaying hammocks to bask in the warmth of the Guanacaste sun. At Villa Ave del Paraíso, we offer more than just a place to rest your head. For those seeking mindfulness and inner tranquility, our thatched yoga palapa beckons as the perfect sanctuary for your yoga practice. Our communal living room and kitchen area provide a welcoming space for forging connections with fellow travellers, or simply unwinding with a captivating book or a movie on our large TV. You'll find our fully-equipped kitchen stocked with everything you need to prepare your own lunch and dinners, as we help kickstart your days with a complimentary, hearty vegetarian breakfast. Housekeeping service is also provided for stays longer than four nights.

Villa Ave del Paraíso is located just a block away from the beautiful beach of Playa Avellanas in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. We are nestled amidst tropical dry forest and the perfect oasis for those seeking relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. What sets Playa Avellanas apart from other beach towns is the unique ecosystem, world class surf, and secluded, peaceful atmosphere. We love Avellanas because it is still relatively quiet, laid back, and unspoiled but still in close driving proximity to the bustling town of Tamarindo. Please note that the roads leading to Playa Avellanas are primarily unpaved and can be rough and bumpy, although we think it adds to its charm and has allowed the small town to retain its peacefulness. While efforts are made to maintain the roads, they can become muddy and difficult to navigate during rainy seasons. It is recommended to drive slowly and carefully, and to consider renting a vehicle with high clearance or four-wheel drive. We assure you that the natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and great surf of Playa Avellanas more than make up for any challenges posed by the roads. We are located towards the end of a secluded road to the beach, so there is plenty of street parking and driveway parking outside of our property available.
