Family Vacation Villa in Manuel Antonio with Ocean Views, Two Pools, and Elevator Access

Set high above the rainforest in Manuel Antonio, this spacious family villa offers panoramic ocean views, two private swimming pools, elevator access between levels, and abundant opportunities to experience Costa Rica’s wildlife. Designed for families and groups, the home combines open-air living, comfortable gathering spaces, and a convenient location close to beaches, restaurants, Manuel Antonio National Park, and adventure activities.

Set high above the rainforest, this remarkable family villa feels like it rises from a garden of Eden, surrounded by sweeping ocean views and layers of lush jungle. Tucked into the hillside of Manuel Antonio, the home offers a rare sense of immersion in nature while remaining close to beaches, wildlife, and local attractions—an ideal setting for a family vacation in Costa Rica.

The main living level sits nearly 40 feet above the jungle floor and opens on three sides to the rainforest canopy. From here, nature becomes part of everyday life. Hummingbirds visit nearby flowers, monkeys leap through the treetops at eye level, sloths move slowly through the branches, and toucans and scarlet macaws glide past daily. The view stretches across the Pacific to the iconic peninsula of Manuel Antonio National Park, where small islands dot the ocean like a living painting.

With multiple living areas, flexible bedroom arrangements, two private pools, and elevator access between levels, the villa is designed to accommodate guests of all ages comfortably.

Luxury Vacation Villa with Open Living Designed for Family Time in Costa Rica

The entry-level great room is designed for togetherness. Multiple seating areas invite conversation, while a long dining table seats up to 14 guests, complemented by an additional table for six. A wet bar and refrigerator keep refreshments close at hand, and the chef’s kitchen—slightly set apart—features an indoor grill and restaurant-quality oven, making shared meals easy and enjoyable. Just beside the kitchen, a comfortable sofa area offers a relaxed spot for movie nights or downtime after a day of adventure.

Soaring 24-foot post-and-beam ceilings shelter the space from sun and rain, while ceiling fans and constant ocean breezes keep the room naturally cool. Thanks to Manuel Antonio’s mild tropical climate, this level remains open and airy year-round, allowing families to truly enjoy indoor-outdoor living.

Close to Manuel Antonio Beaches, Nature, and Family Adventures

A New Wing for Extra Space and Privacy

The lounge features a large-screen TV, a wet bar, and a convenient half bath, making it an ideal hangout space for kids, teens, or adults looking for a quieter place to relax.

Just outside the lounge, a second ocean-view pool offers a more intimate setting that’s perfect for younger swimmers, peaceful afternoons, or giving different generations their own space. Covered parking nearby adds convenience and easy access to this new area of the home.

The new wing blends seamlessly with the original villa, allowing families to come together for meals and shared moments while also providing the option to spread out comfortably across multiple living and pool areas.
