Surfside Playa Mar Azul

Playa Mar Azul · Mal País — 9.6127° N, 85.1419° W

A boutique luxury retreat on the quiet side of Mal País

Surfside Playa Mar Azul is an exclusive collection of upscale apartments minutes from the shores of Playa Mar Azul — two elegant two-bedroom residences and an exceptional three-bedroom apartment, with a beautiful pool at the center of the terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings and open-concept layouts pull the Pacific light deep into every room.

This is the quiet end of Santa Teresa: empty stretches of sand, tide pools, world-class surf without the crowds — yet the restaurants of Mal País and Santa Teresa are minutes away.

Getting here

Location & getting here

01

Same journey, quieter ending

Reach Santa Teresa via SJO (ferry route or Tambor flight) or by road from Liberia. From Cóbano, instead of heading into Santa Teresa center, follow the signs toward Mal País / Playa Mar Azul.

02

The Delicias shortcut

The apartments sit on the Malpaís–Delicias shortcut road, the local route that connects Cóbano directly with Mal País. It's a scenic drive through jungle and farmland — a 4x4 makes it comfortable year-round.

03

FAQ

Good to know

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in from 3:00 PM, check-out by 11:00 AM. We coordinate arrivals personally over WhatsApp.

Is there a pool?

Yes — a beautiful pool sits at the center of the terrace. Booking the full seven-bedroom villa gives your group the entire property to yourselves, pool included.

Is Playa Mar Azul good for surfing?

Yes — this stretch catches the same world-class swell as Santa Teresa with far fewer people in the lineup. Playa Carmen and Santa Teresa's main breaks are a few minutes away by car or ATV.

Are the kitchens fully equipped?

Fully: oven, stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, kitchenware, dining table — plus in-unit washer and dryer for long stays.

Can we book the whole property?

Yes — the 7-Bedroom Pool Villa books all three residences together for up to 14 guests: ideal for surf trips, retreats and family gatherings.
