You will be provided meals in the villa everyday of the program as well as lunch during clinic days. We provide local dishes so that you can delight yourself with traditional food from Costa Rica. Please let us know before hand if you have any food allergies and dietary restrictions that we need to be aware of.

Awaken to Paradise at Luna Villas
Start your days immersed in paradise. Take a deep breath of fresh Costa Rican air, fragrant with plumeria blossoms and the melodic calls of exotic birds. Open your eyes to a stunning vista – either lush rainforest or sparkling ocean – your daily greeting from Luna Villas.

Located just a short drive from the program locations, the villas are surrounded by Costa Rica’s lush, tropical beauty, giving you a peaceful retreat after a day of clinical experience.
However, we understand that travel plans can shift, and sometimes availability can change. If Luna Villas isn’t available during your chosen dates, we’ll arrange comfortable accommodations in trusted local hotels or apartments. These are all within the same area, maintaining high standards of comfort, safety, and convenience for our students.
