Villa Raya is Suren and Alina’s vacation rental in Santa Teresa, on Costa Rica’s southern Nicoya Peninsula.
Suren & Alina
We share Villa Raya with guests who want time together, Pacific views and a comfortable base for exploring Santa Teresa. Our local guide brings together our favorite restaurants and practical suggestions from the guidance we share with guests.
Speak with us about dates, sleeping arrangements and arrival details before reserving. Direct inquiries come to both hosts; submitting an inquiry does not confirm a booking.

The Villa Raya journal
Our journal combines host-selected favorites with original planning advice and linked tourism, conservation and operator sources.
Where public traveler reviews inform a story, we summarize those opinions in our own words and identify the source.
Each story lists its sources and research date. Schedules, prices, road access and activity availability can change; confirm them directly with the provider. An updated date reflects a meaningful content revision.
For a correction or an editorial question, contact Suren and Alina. Explore the Santa Teresa guide, read the travel journal or watch the villa tour.
