A brand-new villa — August 2026

The villa
In the heart of the Cosón area, the villa blends contemporary tropical architecture with raw materials — wood, palm, stone. A living area fully open onto the pool, three soothing bedrooms, a walled garden scented with tropical flowers.
Three bedrooms for six guests, plus a sofa bed for two more — perfect for families and getaways with friends.
We could have built a villa like the ones going up everywhere. We chose to build a villa of this place — a hand-thatched palm roof, coral stone, locally worked wood: a Caribbean home, in the Caribbean.

Our commitment
Villas Origen is designed to keep its footprint light, with no compromise on comfort.
The villa always draws on its solar panels first, before connecting to the power grid.
If the grid goes down, the battery and inverter take over automatically — around 24 hours of autonomy or more.
60% of rainwater is recovered for the household's needs.

Visit the websiteRent a quad for the day and climb into the hills behind Las Terrenas: coffee and cacao grow on the mountainsides, and family fincas still roast their beans over a wood fire, in the pot — tasting included, with sweeping views of the coast. On the way back, a swim at Playa Morón, a wild beach at the foot of the cliffs.

The nearest airport is El Catey (AZS), about a 25-minute drive away. In 2026, a private transfer costs US$85 one way for 1 to 5 people and US$115 for 6 to 8, with our partner HugXander. From Santo Domingo (SDQ), expect US$190 one way.
Yes, we recommend it. The villa is in Cosón: the beach is a 5-minute walk away, but the grocery store and the centre of Las Terrenas are a 5-minute drive. A vehicle — car, quad or scooter — makes daily life much easier, and becomes essential for exploring the peninsula: Playa Rincón, the El Limón waterfall, the coffee route. Renting a quad for the day is very popular in Las Terrenas. Otherwise, local taxis serve the area.
Each bedroom has its own private bathroom with a shower — three in total — plus a powder room with a toilet for guests. Bedroom 2 also has its own private outdoor shower in the garden.
Yes — and we'd rather tell you ourselves: Cosón is the fastest-growing area of Las Terrenas, and new villas are being built nearby, including across the street. Work happens on weekdays during the day and on Saturday mornings — late afternoons, nights, Saturday afternoons and Sundays stay peaceful. The garden is fully enclosed: a solid wall lined with greenery separates the villa from the street and the neighbouring property, keeping the pool and terraces private. A question about your dates? Write to us — we'll answer honestly.
Two ways: directly with us through the form or WhatsApp — always the best rate — or on Airbnb, with instant booking and payment protected by the platform. The villa is also listed on Vrbo. Either way, you are talking directly with the family.
