Secluded Luxury Villa with Ocean Views in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Elevated Above the Rainforest, Facing the Pacific

Rising from the jungle canopy, Casa Vista Azul offers sweeping views across the rainforest and out toward the iconic coastline of Manuel Antonio National Park. Set high above the forest floor, the home feels immersed in nature yet refined in every detail—an architectural sanctuary where ocean air, wildlife, and light move freely through the space.

Spanning five levels and approximately 6,000 square feet, the villa is thoughtfully designed to embrace its cliffside setting. Open living areas, natural materials, and handcrafted details allow the jungle to feel present without ever compromising comfort or privacy.

Architecture That Lives With Nature

At the heart of the home is a dramatic open-air living level, elevated within the canopy and open on three sides. Ocean breezes flow naturally through the space, eliminating the need for air conditioning here and creating a constant sense of freshness. A hand-crafted bamboo canopy, supported by natural wood beams, shelters the space while framing uninterrupted views of rainforest, coastline, and sea.

Everywhere you look, nature feels close. Monkeys move through the trees at eye level, toucans and macaws glide past the open living area, and hummingbirds appear among the surrounding greenery—quiet reminders that this villa is fully part of its environment.

Interiors Defined by Craft and Calm

Throughout the villa, carved wood details, bamboo ceilings, rustic tiles, and natural stone finishes reflect a deep respect for local materials and craftsmanship. The design is rich yet understated, allowing the setting to remain the focus.

The master suite occupies its own level, offering a generous private retreat with a king bed, relaxed seating, and a luxurious stone bath with double shower. A wraparound balcony extends the living space outdoors, suspended above the jungle with sweeping views.

Additional king bedrooms are distributed across the levels below, each with private bathrooms and a strong sense of privacy. One bedroom opens directly toward the main pool level, where water, garden, and architecture converge.

A Newly Built Wing with Its Own Pool

A striking new wing expands the villa experience even further. This recent addition introduces a fully air-conditioned second living room, enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass and crowned by a vaulted ceiling. Thoughtfully designed, the space includes a large-screen television, wet bar, and a discreet half bath, creating a comfortable yet understated retreat surrounded by bamboo and jungle. It’s a place that feels both open and intimate—equally suited for quiet mornings, relaxed afternoons, or evening gatherings within the larger home.

Flowing directly from this lounge is an additional private, ocean-view pool set beside the glass walls, offering a more secluded and tranquil alternative to the main pool below. Covered parking nearby adds convenience and ease of access. Together, the new living space and pool establish a second center of gravity within the villa—ideal for guests who appreciate the balance of shared experiences and personal space, all within a setting deeply connected to nature.

Pool House Living and Waterfall Views

The main pool level is anchored by a beautiful two-story pool house set just across the water. On the poolside level, a relaxed living area with a wet bar and convertible daybeds creates a flexible space for lounging or sleeping. Below, two air-conditioned bedrooms with open-air showers provide additional privacy and comfort.

The pool itself is framed by lush foliage and natural stone, with a dramatic 20-foot waterfall cascading into the water. Designed for both leisurely play and lap swimming, it serves as the social heart of the property—balanced by the quieter second pool beside the new wing.

Thoughtful Luxury, Seamlessly Supported

Despite its scale, the villa maintains a light environmental footprint, with vertical design and careful integration into the landscape. An elevator connects all levels, making movement throughout the home effortless.

Guests are supported by Escape Villas’ top-class private concierge services. From daily housekeeping to restaurant recommendations, private chefs, and adventure planning, every detail is handled with care—allowing you to focus on slowing down, reconnecting, and experiencing Manuel Antonio at its most authentic.
