Privilege Aluxes: A beach-chic retreat on Isla Mujeres review
Float above the ocean and among the trees at Casa Flotanta
When to Go
With year round temperatures in the mid-80s, anytime is right to visit. High season, which is also the dry season, runs from December - April and the wet season is typically from May - November. While there can be dramatic storms during the wet season, storms generally do not last all day. This can be the ideal time to take advantage of lighter crowds and lower prices.
Who Should Go
Santa Teresa offers beach-side charm in a beautiful, relaxed setting. With restaurants, shops, yoga studios, as well as numerous water sports, hiking, exploring, and just relaxing, there is something for everyone in the area and Casa Flotanta provides the ultimate eco-luxury base.

Casa Flotanta
Designed by Costa Rican architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe, Casa Flotanta (Floating House) is a rental property near Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. This modernist retreat consists of three pods that are attached via walkways, offering spectacular views of the Bay of Hermosa throughout the entire property.
The minimalist decor sets the ideal mood at this tranquil oasis as the focus is entirely on the mesmerizing natural beauty that is outside. Nestled amongst the tree canopy, keep your eyes peeled for toucans, howler monkeys, hummingbirds, sloths, and coatis. Cool off in the infinity pool; surf the waters of one of the most popular surfing beaches in the country, Playa Hermosa; explore the lively town of Santa Teresa; or indulge with a massage onsite (can be arranged with advance notice). Custom furniture, luxurious fixtures and an ideal setting make Casa Flotanta the ultimate beach house rental.
The home features 3 bedrooms and is available through Airbnb.
