The Villas of Orishás are in the small, quiet hamlet of Manzanillo a 15-minutes drive from the popular surf beaches of Santa Teresa and Mal Pais on the Pacific side of Costa Rica.
Manzanillo is a small beach village where time slows down and you can spend a relaxed vacation away from the crowds
while enjoying the seclusion and scenery of a dramatically beautiful coastline.
Swimming and bathing is good at certain sections of the beach in Manzanillo.
We can also rent you snorkeling equipment for exploring the large tide pool
in front of our houses, or ocean kayaks for an excursion along the coastline.
Despite its small size you will find very good restaurants in Manzanillo which specialize in fresh seafood. Residents and tourists from the Santa Teresa region often come to Manzanillo extra for dining.
