About this villa rental
Take your family, friends or colleagues on a vacation that they will always remember and cherish at The Malinche Palace.
The Malinche Palace is an astonishing villa designed by the world-famous architect Víctor Cañas, who is known for his contemporary style and utile approach to architecture.
The villa is located in Playa Ocotal on the top of a hill, giving it a truly breathtaking panoramic view of the beach, the ocean, and the stunning mountains and surrounding jungle of Costa Rica. With that, the house is still only 8 minutes walk from the beach, accessed by your own staircase. Additionally, the property is 6 minutes drive from the Playas Coco Downtown, as well as only 32 minutes away from the Liberia Airport.
The house’s design gracefully blurs the line between indoor/outdoor living, with floor to ceiling glass, picture windows, and open areas. This open feel creates an atmosphere of tranquility and connection with nature, while still allowing complete privacy in each guest room.
The property has eight air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, with a total of ten king beds. Each bedroom has its own spirit and style, giving each guest a unique and luxurious experience during their stay.
The detached casita is cliffside with a world-class ocean view, master suite, luxury bathroom, and private balcony.
Adjoining the main house is a two-story apartment with two upstairs bedrooms, a separate kitchenette, and dining area.
The Malinche Palace is ideally suited for family members of all ages, a couple’s retreat, corporate getaways, or the perfect destination wedding.
Overall, the house is estimated to fit 20 people, and if needed, the couches and air mattresses can be used to accommodate up to 30 people.
A spacious common area connects the main kitchen and BBQ area allowing your loved ones to truly enjoy each other’s company while being surrounded by the beauty of Costa Rica.
After a day at the beach, for a cozy night in, spend your evening in the movie room complete with TV, comfy couches, and a fully operating movie theatre. Or, spend your evening watching a beautiful sunset and the ocean view straight from the private pool while drinking a cold drink, then finish your day with a snuggle in the Jacuzzi.
The Malinche Palace also has an ample green area allowing you to do yoga, read, and lounge while enjoying the beautiful garden.
One of our most popular requests is our chef service, available upon request for an additional charge, allowing you to fully enjoy the taste of Costa Rica.
Our discerning guests are also pleased to learn that solar panels provide a large portion of the power used for greater sustainability as we help to preserve the natural beauty of our enchanting land.
With the utmost thought and care given in creating The Malinche Palace, there are far too many delightful surprises and amenities to list here!
Our greatest desire is to make your stay with us a dream come true, and we are more than happy to help you with

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We just had an amazing week long stay with 4 families (8 adults, 11 children). Julia was a fabulous host, extremely responsive and welcoming. There was plenty of space for all couples and children to not feel crammed or on top of each other. The house had a fully stocked kitchen, freezer for ice and large refrigerator, oven and grill. The daily housekeeping that is included was an extra bonus. We easily arranged activities and transportation through Andrey and each family rented a golf cart, which I 10/10 recommend for getting to the beach and town. We had a fabulous time and highly recommend Malinche Palace.

We stayed at Malinche Palace over Thanksgiving for my 50th birthday, and it was incredible. Julia, the host, was warm and accommodating. The main house immediately impressed us with its beautiful indoor/outdoor layout. Each bedroom is uniquely designed with amazing views, and the kitchen is well equipped, which made group meals easy and fun.The property is large, offering plenty of space to gather as a group while also giving everyone privacy when needed. The honeymoon suite, set apart from the rest of the house, has breathtaking ocean and star views, truly calming and romantic. The small cliffside perch became one of our favorite spots, especially at night when the sky lit up with stars.We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and exploring the walkable area. One path leads to a great public beach and Father Rooster’s restaurant; another takes you to a secluded beach after a moderate hike. I’d recommend having at least one car for grocery runs and convenience.Julia’s team was fantastic. Andrey arranged all transportation and activities, including a private catamaran trip where we snorkeled, saw sea turtles, and even caught fish. Daily housekeeping was a bonus, Gloria was especially wonderful, and the chef-prepared dinners were excellent.Malinche Palace is truly special, beautiful, relaxing, and unforgettable. The only improvement would be updating the honeymoon suite’s décor, but overall, it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The home was lovely but is definitely in need of upkeep/repairs. Floor boards on pool deck areas are warped and lifting. The exercise area on the ground floor left a lot to be desired. Tile floors are very dangerous, even when pool deck is not in use. We were told by management not to close the doors around the kitchen because it was difficult, to watch the cleaning staff easily close them to clean, on the last day. This would have been helpful to keep the raccoons and skunk( hiding in the kitchen cupboards)out of the kitchen. The stairs in the 2 bedroom apartment are very dangerous and we had sewage odors from one of the bathrooms. If you are a home that sleeps up to 22 people, you should ensure that there is enough eating utensil to accommodate. The outdoor oven is slow heating and outdoor stovetop doesn’t work. The housekeeping staff were amazing and very helpful, keeping our rooms & bathrooms clean. Always had the pool and room towels fresh and plentiful. Communication leading up to our trip was perfect. While we were there and encountering the skunk living in the kitchen, management was not so helpful.
