Why we Love Leatherback Beach Villa

The ultimate laid back deluxe destination for turtle watching and learning more about marine diversity while enjoying a luxury suite and private swimming pool, personal chef and wall to wall views.

Kick back and relax in the Master Suite at Leatherback Beach Villa, a refuge in white drapes, surrounded by floor to ceiling glass windows and doors plus ample ocean and blue skies.

Powerful outside showers to awaken and refresh then to wash off the salty ocean when you have been swimming all day.

Treasured evenings in the boma around the fire pit while the chef pours drinks and temps your palate with fresh seafoods and fancy side dishes.

Adventures have no limits where beaches are endless, game drives surprise all kinds of wildlife and everyone can be active in the ocean, on hikes to see birds or on canoes to see the dolphins around Santa Maria.
