A unique luxurious retreat immersed in nature, just a 5-minute walk to a golden-sand beach

Nestled in the lush rainforest of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, Villa Marina 1 is a one-of-a-kind property that ticks all the boxes for a luxury tropical escape. This stunning property, designed with a modern aesthetic that seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the verdant jungle canopy.

The villa offers an array of exceptional amenities. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the stunning infinity pool, seemingly suspended between the villa and the ocean, providing a refreshing oasis with unparalleled views. Post-dip, guests can relax on a poolside sun lounger or enjoy a freshly-prepared cocktail in the shaded pool lounge.

Another highlight is the spacious roof terrace, which features a jacuzzi jutting out of the terrace like the bow of a ship. Here, guests can unwind while soaking in the spectacular sunsets over Manuel Antonio Bay. Another fully equipped bar and plush lounge setting on the roof terrace make it the perfect spot for evening cocktails and stargazing.

The villa is a multi-level architectural masterpiece, with numerous living and entertaining spaces over six floors. Highlights include the vast ballroom on the first floor, which features double-height ceilings, a full bar, and large seating areas with ocean views. It’s the perfect space for gatherings and events. The villa also features a media room, ideal for family film nights and a games room with a pool table and arcade machine to entertain all ages.

Throughout the main villa and a separate guest cottage, 10 spacious en-suite bedrooms accommodate up to 24 adults and three children. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the bedrooms all feature private balconies with ocean views where guests can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of the surrounding wildlife, including playful capuchin monkeys, slow-moving sloths, or vibrantly coloured toucans that frequently visit the property!

At a stone’s throw away from the villa, guests can leave their footprints on the golden sand and refresh their bodies in the crystal-clear water on one of the top beaches in Costa Rica.

With its stunning design, top facilities, and unbeatable location, Villa Marina 1 is the perfect choice for a luxury holiday with loved ones or a memorable special event in Costa Rica.

Nb: For larger groups, the villa can be booked with neighbouring Villa Marina 2 for 19 bedrooms, sleeping a total of 42-54 guests.
