indo avellanas’ six surf villas embrace tropical wellness
Indo Avellanas is a luxury residential enclave by Garton Group Architecture, located in Avellanas, with a collection of one- and two-bedroom villas just steps from the Pacific Ocean. The objective of the project is to create an intimate community that fulfills the lifestyle, travel, and wellness aspirations of the clientele spending more time in this special region of Costa Rica.
The six surf villas are made up of two different designs — a two-bedroom unit and a one-bedroom unit. Both designs are centered around an open-plan living space opening seamlessly to a private terrace and plunge pool embracing the mature hardwoods and tropical gardens of the site.

garton group architecture utilizes local materials
The team at Garton Group Architecture has taken care to ensure that none of the existing mature trees throughout the site have been touched in the placement of the villas. Made of local materials, the Indo Avellanas villas use a lightweight steel frame system and locally sourced teak ensuring the development treads lightly on its lush site.
