Casa Mamaluma
If you prefer an authentic experience in one of Costa Rica’s most green and beautiful areas – Casa Mamaluma is the right choice for you. Our modern house is drawn by an upcoming local architect and is placed off the beaten track. The views are spectacular.
The trip up and down the mountain (300 meters above sea level) can only be made in a 4×4. The 15 minutes (depending on the weather and road conditions) passes quickly given the ever-changing views.
From the highway you can reach a newbuild hospital, grocery shops, beaches, pharmacy, restaurantes ect. in 5-20 minutes.
Casa Mamaluma is placed in the southern zone of Costa Rica in which you will find misty valley views, cool mountain breezes, and dazzling sun drenched beaches. Innumerable rivers and stunning waterfalls complete the natural landscape and charm of the South Pacific Region. With a variety of climates and habitats, the region is a mecca for nature lovers, hikers, birders, surfers, and sport fisherman. There are several waterfalls and swimming ponds in the southern zone for you to enjoy. We recommend you to take a refreshing swim in the river that you pass – 2 km before the house – next to the concrete bridge. This is the favourite spot of the locals as well.
Or you can simply stay at the house enjoying the infinity pool overlooking The Pacific Ocean. The house has several terraces just for relaxing and you can always find shadow near the pool. Dazzling in the lounger reading a good book or just watching how the sun, skies and weather is changing the landscape all the time.
The southern Pacific coast has not been extensively developed for the most part. The beaches are pristine and much of the time empty of visitors. So, if you are looking for a holiday close to nature but with all the comforts just around the corner, great food and friendly people the southern zone is with no doubt for you. Not to mention all the wildlife such as iguanas, monkeys, birds, sloths, butterflies etc. that you will find at the doorstep.
We can arrange Eduin to hike with you in the nearby area. Please note that he is only Spanish speaking but willing to learn English. We will provide a list of the most important and needed sentences for you in both Spanish and English in order to make the communication smooth. It is a good chance for you to improve your Spanish as well.
Due to the elevated terraces and the infinity pool the property is not safe for young children without adequate supervision.
About Casa Mamaluma and the retreat
The retreat – do I have the house by myself?
Yes. You have access to the entire house and the 5 acres’ retreat. The neighborhood is very quiet and you can enjoy the peace, the nature and the stunning flora and fauna from the many terraces around Casa Mamaluma. In the green season, you will even find small waterfalls at the property. The sound of your private waterfalls is healthy and soothen. Sometimes the peaceful surroundings are interrupted by the sounds of the ‘congo’ howler monkeys or by the variety of birds flying by including toucans and parrots. The flora and fauna is just amazing.
Casa Mamaluma is also constructed in a way that you will all have private rooms whether you are 2, 4 or 6 people traveling together. Due to the large retreat – you will always be able to find a spot where you can enjoy the surroundings by yourself.
Do Casa Mamaluma have internet?
Yes. We have WiFi. In July 2021 we were able to get a high speed (Costa Rican – High Speed) connection. So you are now able to stream movies – or do video meetings if you want to work from Casa Mamaluma…..:-)
Responsibly – take care of the resources
In the construction of Casa Mamaluma we have seeked to minimize the negative environmental impact of building. Therefore, we have invested a great amount in solar cells trying to be 100 % self-sufficient with electricity. We have installed a power smart solar electricity system that is on grid. That is, when we do not use the power that we produce we can feed the excess power to the grid where it is consumed by other users. This is 100% green energy.
To achieve the goal to be 100 % self-sufficient with electricity we kindly ask all our guests to close the doors in the bedrooms when using the air-conditioner. Also, please turn off the AC when you are not using the bedrooms. Due to the newest technology, it will only take you 5-10 min to cool the room while it is not necessary to leave the aircon running constantly. Furthermore, Casa Mamaluma is built in a way that you will always feel the nice breeze from the Pacific Ocean. That minimizes the need for using the aircon during the day (and night) as well.
In July 2021 have also installed a solar heater for the hot water.
