The villa is located near the beautiful beach of Bahia Ballena (Whale Bay) in the Los Delfines Country Club. The community is surrounded by tropical foliage and a bird sanctuary. Wake up to the sound of Howler Monkeys and other tropical animals nearby and breath the cleanest air in the world.
Costa Rica is probably the safest country on earth, and supplements it with excellent air quality and eco systems second to none. Costa Rica abolished its army in the 40's and instead focuses its resources on healthcare and education, making both some of the best in the world.
The beautiful, tropical beach is a short walk from the villa. Set against a backdrop of secluded golden sand, Tambor Beach is snuggled into Bahia Ballena, or Whale Bay, on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Tambor is known as a gateway to the area's biological diversity; the Nicoya Biological Corridor cradles the beach, which is also bordered by the ecological riches of Curu Wildlife Refuge.
As well as golfing at Los Delfines, available area activities include horseback riding, surfing, hiking, ziplining, river rafting, ATV trips, deep sea fishing and many more.
For details of many activities, check out the Nicoyazoom magazine.

Wildlife is plentiful in the Nicoya Biological Corridor, and especially so at Curu Wildlife Refuge (20km from the villa) and Cabo Blanco Reserve. Wildlife watchers may spot raccoon, coatimundi, whitetail deer, armadillo, white-lipped and collared peccary, puma, kinkajou, howler and spider monkeys, agouti, jaguarundis, and Baird's tapir. Birdwatchers will also delight in the wide variety of avian species found in the refuges: parakeets, scarlet macaws, woodpeckers, osprey, common black hawks, brown pelicans, crested guan, frigate birds, gulls, pelicans, ospreys and herons are often seen. The best time for wildlife watching is early in the morning, between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., and in the afternoon between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Day trips from Playa Tambor offer the opportunity to snorkel and dive some of Costa Rica's most colorful and exciting underwater locations. PADI-certified instructors offer multi-day courses to aspiring divers, with a day-long “discovery session" for beginners. For a one-day jaunt, take a catamaran ride out to the Turtle Island, where snorkelers will explore the colorful sea life in the tame, sparkling waters. Angelfish, puffer fish, corals, blue spotted jacks, eels, octopi, lobsters, oysters, and needlefish are commonly spotted in the clear shallows.
Enjoy the Pacific's delicious opportunities on an inshore or offshore sport fishing excursion. Comfortable 26 to 35 ft. boats leave port daily, with their experienced captains guiding guests to the best spots for big game fish. Common catches include yellow and black-fin tuna, red snapper, grouper, striped and black marlin, snook, and mahi mahi. Anglers have the option of sampling the freshest sushi in town, or saving their prize for later.
