A Private Luxury Guest Estate
Where San Francisco Bay unfolds beneath you — eight exquisite suites, rare views, and a curated world of water and wilderness.
Perched on Tiburon's most coveted hillside, Villa Maris is a private luxury guest estate unlike any other. From your window, San Francisco gleams across the water — the Golden Gate Bridge glows at dusk, and sailboats drift below as morning light washes over the Marin headlands.
The estate's eight individually designed suites blend coastal elegance with modern California living — vaulted beam ceilings, handcrafted stone soaking tubs, and private balconies that make every moment feel cinematic.
Each suite at Villa Maris is a curated sanctuary — no two alike. From bay-facing master suites with private balconies to garden retreats with stone soaking tubs.

Best Views
The crown jewel of Villa Maris — a freestanding soaking tub positioned before a triple-bay window overlooking the bridge and San Francisco skyline.
Private sailboat excursions on Richardson Bay with a certified captain. Sunset sails, day trips to Angel Island.
Morning sessions on the view deck led by our resident instructor. Flow with the bay as your backdrop.
Curated Marin and Napa selections served fireside each evening. Local cheeses, charcuterie, and honey.
Ring Mountain and Mt. Tamalpais trails minutes from the estate. Guided half-day treks available upon request.
Our gourmet estate kitchen is the heart of Villa Maris. Each morning, guests gather around the live-edge walnut table as our chef prepares a seasonal, locally-sourced breakfast.
We've stayed at Auberge, Post Ranch, and Meadowood — Villa Maris stands apart entirely. There is something about waking up and watching the Golden Gate emerge from the morning fog that you simply cannot manufacture. Extraordinary in every way.
The evening sail they arranged was the highlight of our anniversary trip. We were back for the fire pit at sunset, wine glasses in hand, the city lit up across the water. The Tiburon Bay Suite is pure perfection — book it if you can.
The breakfast alone is worth the trip. Sunrise yoga on the deck as the bay turned gold, then a feast prepared by their chef. I've recommended Villa Maris to everyone I know. Nothing else in Marin compares.
