About the home

Perched above the rainforest canopy in Manuel Antonio, this private four-bedroom luxury villa combines ocean views, exceptional privacy, and open-air tropical living.

What Is the Best Private Luxury Villa Retreat in Manuel Antonio?

This luxurious rainforest villa with ocean views in Manuel Antonio is designed for travelers seeking privacy, tranquility, and a deeper connection to nature. With four private bedroom suites spread across separate levels, panoramic ocean views, open-air living spaces, and a peaceful rainforest setting, it offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience near Manuel Antonio’s most popular attractions.

Private Ocean View Villa in Manuel Antonio Surrounded by Rainforest

Some villas are designed for gathering.

Others are designed for slowing down.

Set high above Manuel Antonio’s rainforest canopy, this private luxury retreat offers a rare sense of peace, where ocean views, tropical breezes, and surrounding nature create an atmosphere that feels far removed from everyday life.

From its elevated position, guests enjoy sweeping views across the Pacific coastline and lush jungle landscape. Wildlife moves through the surrounding trees, birds fill the morning air, and sunsets unfold across the horizon in a setting that feels both expansive and deeply personal.

Four Private Bedroom Retreats Across Four Levels

One of the villa’s most distinctive features is its multi-level design.

Unlike traditional vacation homes, each bedroom occupies its own level, creating exceptional privacy for couples, families, and small groups traveling together.

Two primary suites feature king beds, private balconies, Jacuzzi tubs, and ocean views. Two additional guest suites offer queen beds, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and beautifully finished interiors designed for comfort and relaxation.

The result is a home where guests can come together when they choose and retreat to their own private space whenever they wish.

Open-Air Living Designed Around Nature

The villa embraces its surroundings through open-air architecture that welcomes natural light, tropical breezes, and uninterrupted views.

Handcrafted bamboo ceilings rise above the main living spaces, while large openings blur the line between indoors and outdoors. The design allows guests to remain constantly connected to the surrounding rainforest without sacrificing comfort.

Whether enjoying morning coffee, reading in the shade, or sharing an evening meal, the experience feels effortlessly relaxed.

Pool Terrace Above the Jungle Canopy

The private pool terrace extends toward the surrounding landscape, creating the sensation of floating above the forest.

Built-in in-water loungers invite guests to spend long afternoons enjoying the view, while a shaded rancho provides a comfortable place to relax throughout the day.

As evening approaches, the setting becomes especially memorable. The coastline glows in the fading light, the sounds of the jungle become more pronounced, and the atmosphere encourages guests to slow down and simply enjoy the moment.

Private chef services can also be arranged for sunset dinners overlooking the rainforest and Pacific Ocean.

Close to Manuel Antonio National Park, Beaches & Marina Pez Vela

Although the villa feels wonderfully secluded, Manuel Antonio’s most popular attractions remain nearby.

Guests enjoy convenient access to:

  • Manuel Antonio National Park
  • Espadilla and Playitas Beaches
  • Marina Pez Vela in Quepos
  • Wildlife tours
  • Zip-lining adventures
  • Sportfishing charters
  • Waterfall hikes
  • Catamaran cruises
  • Parasailing and ocean activities

The local airport is approximately 20 minutes away, making travel simple and convenient.

A Retreat That Feels Effortless

Luxury is often defined by amenities.

Here, it is defined by how you feel.

Wake to birdsong. Spend afternoons above the rainforest canopy. Watch the sunset from the pool terrace. End the day surrounded by ocean breezes and the sounds of nature.

Designed for privacy, comfort, and connection to its surroundings, this villa offers a Manuel Antonio experience that feels authentic, restorative, and quietly unforgettable.

A Tropical Masterpiece at Casa Dolce Vita!

Incredible experience!

This house was unbelievable. We stayed for 5 nights with our two teenage kids and I cannot imagine a better place to be. We had a few planned adventures, but we always looked forward to getting “home” to see what kind of wildlife visitors awaited us. We spent hours sitting in the living room watching multiple species of monkeys and birds visit the house. We loved being able to walk into town for breakfast and dinner and we especially loved our private chef, Javier!! Highly recommend that you ask for Javier to prepare an incredible dinner one night- definitely worth it in every way. Our Concierge, Andres, and housekeeper Mina were both awesome at making sure we had everything we needed. We are not even to the airport and missing it already! 11/10!

Fantastic Family Vacation

Our family rented Casa Dolce Vita with my parents and my sister for spring break and our week was absolutely dreamy. The villa is better than the photos on the website. Mina took such wonderful care of us and the property. Having chef Hairo come and make us dinners was truly one of the best parts of our vacation. 10/10 no notes. If you are even thinking about booking with Escape Villas do it! You won’t regret it.

Would come back in a heartbeat!
