Villa Paraíso Jacques is a tropical villa for families and friends who want comfort alongside a real connection with nature. From the private pool and wooden deck you look straight onto the paddock where our horses graze freely, with your own garden of exotic plants and fruit trees just beyond.

"The houses are named after loved ones who have brought joy into my life."

The villa is a 10 to 15 minute walk (or 5 minute drive) from Playa Avellanas, where you can surf, swim, or simply watch the sunset.

THE VILLA
• Sleeps 4 comfortably, up to 6 guests
• Private pool and wooden deck overlooking the horse paddock
• Spacious open plan living area with a king size sofa bed
• Fully equipped kitchen and dining space
• Bedrooms in eco friendly luxury design with king size orthopedic mattresses
• Built in outdoor barbecue
• Private garden filled with exotic plants and fruit trees

THE ESTATE
The villa sits on a 5 hectare (12.4 acre) equestrian estate, set within a larger organic farm. Guests are free to walk the grounds, meet the animals and wander the orchards.

• On site equestrian center with a riding instructor living on the property
• Riding lessons, beach rides and mountain trails with ocean views, arranged on request and booked separately from your stay
• Horses grazing directly beyond your garden, close enough to greet from the poolside

THE LOCATION
Playa Avellanas is one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica, and Playa Negra, known for its world class surf, is a short drive away. Tamarindo is roughly 25 minutes.

GUEST ACCESS
The villa, garden and pool are entirely private for your stay, and the wider estate and farm are yours to explore. Finca Shambalah is home to only a small number of private residences, so the property stays quiet and uncrowded.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The last stretch of the access road is gravel (unpaved).
• The villa has no TV.
• For safety, horses are enjoyed from outside the paddock; guests do not enter it.
• Equestrian activities are optional, subject to availability, booked 24 to 48 hours ahead, and paid separately.
