What truly makes this place special is the story behind it.
For years, our family has been drawn to Costa Rica—not just for its beaches and wildlife, but for something deeper: the sense of belonging, of stillness, of wildness that invites you to slow down and truly feel the world around you. We’ve spent countless days together wandering jungle paths, swimming in hidden waterfalls, and learning from the people and places that make this country so magical.
As a family, we’ve always loved sharing those experiences with others— through cloud forests, quiet mangroves, coral reefs, and small towns full of warmth. .
What grew from those experiences is this: a desire to create a space where others can feel what we’ve felt here. Peace. Adventure. Wonder. Connection.
Together, with our children, we’ve made Villa la Paz a reflection of that spirit—a place to rest and recharge, to explore and discover, to reconnect with each other and the natural world. Whether you’re here to simply breathe and be, or to launch into the wild beauty of the Nicoya Peninsula and further into beautiful Costa Rica, we invite you into the rhythm of Pura Vida—and into something we’re honored to share.
At Villa la Paz, you’ll wake to the sounds of howler monkeys and sip coffee with your toes in the sand, and end the day watching the sun dip below the ocean from your private balcony. Whether you're resting, reconnecting, or exploring, this is your home base.
Come experience Pura Vida—not as a slogan, but as a way of life.
From our family to yours,
The Dubins
