Mal Pais is really just a small village, which was only "discovered" by outsiders about 15 years ago, and is known mostly for is great surfing. But this is slowly changing, as it is one of the last, great, undeveloped areas left in Costa Rica.
March House is set up to remain private and subtly hidden even when more visitors start arriving in years to come, so that its seclusion and comfort are never compromised.
This luxury rental beach house boasts five distinct, separate bedrooms with built-in fixtures, ceiling fans, large closets, and intimate baths. Hand-carved, louvered doors open each room wide to the tropical flora, warm sun, and undulating surf, blurring the line between inside and out. Read a book on the daybed outside your room, soak in a bath while watching the sunset, or enjoy dinner with friends. At March House, no one has to know you are here, unless you want them to.
Mal Pais, Costa Rica has everything a paradise could offer. The warmth of the sun, the lulling of the surf, and the fragrance of the flor blanca, is utterly captivating. It doesn't take us long to fall in love.
March House is situated in Mal Pais, on the southern Pacific tip of the Peninsula de Nicoya of Costa Rica, at 9.4 degrees N. and 85 degrees W. The general climate is mild, with an average temperature of 89F (31.7C).
Although there are only two real seasons, both are equally beautiful and suited for travel to March House. In the “Dry” season (Dec to April) it is always hot and sunny with less foliage on the trees. There is little humidity and virtually mosquito free.
The “Green” season (May to November) offers more lush vegetation. Most days during this rainy period are sunny and humid before clouds roll in late afternoon to cool things down. It could rain all night, but the morning herald’s sunny skies and that sweet smelling “freshness”.
Most of the land is still covered by trees that grew wild, and Mal Pais has yet to be over-developed as a tourist destination, leaving much of the original landscape intact.There are many conservation programs under way in Costa Rica to preserve some of the pristine jungle, and wildlife that lives there.
One of these reserves, Cabo Blanco, is located a short walk from March House (although the actual entrance is farther away), and encompasses 1700 hectares of land. But you can always see and hear wild creatures such as birds, monkeys, tree squirrels, and little scurrying lizards and iguanas everyday at March House, and they do not cause any trouble.
Flowering trees and plants are abundant on March House property, as well as mangoes, coconuts, oranges, and bananas… a real bonus when in season.
