Open-Air Luxury Villa on a Jungle Ridge in Manuel Antonio

Some places are defined by their amenities.

Others are defined by how they make you feel.

Positioned above the rainforest canopy, this villa invites guests into a slower rhythm where mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons unfold beneath tropical breezes, and evenings end with sunsets stretching across the Pacific horizon.

The elevated jungle ridge setting creates a feeling of separation from the outside world, allowing nature to become part of every moment.

Architecture Designed to Flow with Nature

Rather than separating guests from the environment, the villa embraces it.

Open living spaces allow fresh air and natural light to move freely throughout the home, while soaring bamboo ceilings handcrafted from local materials create warmth, character, and a strong connection to Costa Rica’s tropical surroundings.

Large openings frame the surrounding landscape from nearly every angle, making the rainforest and ocean an integral part of the living experience.

Every space feels intentionally designed to slow you down.

Four Private Retreats Within One Villa

The home’s four-level layout creates a sense of privacy rarely found in traditional vacation rentals.

Each bedroom occupies its own level, allowing couples, families, and small groups to enjoy both shared experiences and personal space.

Two primary suites feature king beds, private balconies, and spacious bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs overlooking the surrounding landscape. Additional guest suites offer queen beds, private bathrooms, and comfortable accommodations designed for rest and relaxation.

The result is a villa that feels intimate yet spacious at the same time.

Infinity Pool Between Jungle and Horizon

The private pool terrace sits between rainforest and ocean, creating one of the villa’s most memorable spaces.

Built-in loungers invite guests to spend long afternoons in the water while enjoying uninterrupted views across the jungle canopy and coastline. Nearby, a shaded rancho offers a comfortable place to relax, read, or simply watch the changing light move across the landscape.

As the sun begins to set, the atmosphere becomes even more remarkable, transforming the terrace into a front-row seat for one of Manuel Antonio’s most beautiful daily rituals.

A Place for Slow Mornings and Unforgettable Evenings

Life feels different here.

Morning coffee is accompanied by tropical birds moving through the trees. Monkeys occasionally pass through the surrounding canopy. Ocean breezes drift naturally through the open living spaces.

The villa encourages guests to disconnect from schedules and reconnect with the environment around them.

Whether spending the day exploring or simply enjoying the view, every moment feels intentionally unhurried.

Close to Adventure, Far from Ordinary

Although the villa feels wonderfully secluded, Manuel Antonio’s most popular experiences remain close at hand.

Guests enjoy convenient access to:

The local airport is also nearby, making arrivals and departures easy and convenient.

A Villa That Stays With You

Some vacations fade quickly.

Others leave a lasting impression.

Combining architectural character, rainforest immersion, exceptional privacy, and breathtaking scenery, this villa offers more than a place to stay. It offers a feeling that lingers long after the journey home.
